Breast Reduction journey begins.

After a long awaited 4-5 years, deciding if a breast reduction was something I really wanted and was mentally prepared for - I have finally scheduled my first consultation!
It’s scheduled for April 18th with Dr. Capek in Latham NY. I’m 24 and believe I’m currently a size 34F. I’d like to go down to a size C. I’ve been researching and considering a reduction since about freshman/sophomore year in college back in 2014. Growing up I never had boobs. I hit puberty late at about the age of 16 and still had nothing. I was called “TW” (titless wonder) for as long as I can remember. I used to PRAY for boobs and boy do I wish I had never... Sometime in junior year of HS, I had to have become a B. I remember thinking I had such small boobs. I want bigger boobs. Boobs that have substance without a push up. But I have photos I took in HS where I have breasts that look like the size I’m trying to achieve. The strangest part though, is that I NEVER remember buying a C cup. I remember having B cup bras - and then I remember shopping with my mom in college and trying to find B bras and my mom telling me there was no way it was happening and suddenly I was a 34DD and we were asking each other where the hell these boobs came from. It was like I had woken up from an augmentation. It was unbelievable. It happened overnight I swear it. Ever since that, I’ve hated them. They got too big, too heavy, and too painful for my health. Like I said earlier, I’ve wanted one for 5 years but it never felt right. I was trying to finish my undergrad and I was broke as hell with little medical documentation of pain and issues because they grew overnight. Soon after I started making notes at my GM and I went to PT which helped temporarily but it was never going to be forever. And then I graduated and I was broke, so that wasn’t the right time. I started going to a chiropractor and I finally got a job that paid for my insurance and just as I was starting to discuss it and make consultations - I left that job to find something that made me happier. I have a great new job but no insurance and I’m sick of waiting and saying “now isn’t the time”. So, I will do what I need to, to get my surgery. I guess I’m just finally excited to get this ball rolling and I pray all goes well and that I can have my surgery before summer kicks in! I shall update you after my consultation!

A look through boobs’ past.

Here are some before photos throughout the last 7 years; 2012 - 2019. All images are captioned with each year.
As previously explained I had initially thought they really came to light well into my college years in 2014-2015 but as I flipped through old photos I’m seeing that images from years 12, 13, and 14 were all dramatically different.
Currently I believe my size would be 34F if I were properly sized at a custom shop.
The bra in my 2019 photo is a 36DDD(36E) from VS. My chest under my breasts actually measures out at about 31-32 inches so my band size is really 34, but I have refused to go get custom made bras because I’m in denial.. Hahahah.
So, in order for the VS bras to even remotely fit (because clearly the don’t actually fit) - I had to size up to a 36 because the 34 cup wasn’t large enough.
So I’m spending 60-80$ on bras that I get 1/3 use out of because I’m starting the bra on the tightest clasp.. so stupid. I can’t wait to lop these suckers off.

*I moved my consultation date up and it is now 4/12 instead of 4/18.*

Good luck w/your consult and keep us updated. I look forward to following your journey. ❤️

Good luck. I am scheduled for June so I am following with interest. Btw, the eye boobs made me chuckle. :)
March 27, 2019
Hahah, I’m glad you got a laugh.
Yay! Scheduled for consultation or surgery?
March 29, 2019
Surgery. I am still waiting to make sure I am approved but my doc was super confident I wouldn’t have a problem so he went ahead and scheduled it. I can’t remember if I said but I wear an M (as in moobies) and I have a letter from my chiro which details adjustments, PT, etc.
Last week I ordered a shirt for my daughter’s lacrosse team. Normally I would be an xxl but ordered an xl. She said, mommy, that will be too big after surgery! I have no idea. LOL
April 3, 2019
Hahahaaah that’s funny. Hopefully it will be - and the doc can get you small enough for you to be comfortable again.
Oh my gosh, an M.
It’s crazy I sit here at an F or a G, I’m not sure which - no think that I’m so miserable and I’m so big and there are other ladies out there that the so big, they’re a size I couldn’t even imagine.
GOOD FOR YOU. I’m so happy you’re on your way to happy healthier Boobs!
