Zero regrets - would do it again if I was sent back in time

I am writing this approximately 1 year after my last post-op checkup with Dr. Mosier, or 1 year & 3 months post-op. I have zero regrets and would do it again if I was sent back in time. Healing was quick and relatively painless, in part because I was 21 at the time of my reduction. The staff were very professional and empathetic, so I felt like I was safe and in good hands for the surgery. There was nothing inappropriate said or done during examinations pre- or post-op, and the staff seemed genuinely happy for me.

I had asked for a reduction from a DDD+ cup size to a B/C but agreed that Dr. Mosier could make a judgment call on what size would best fit my body type during the surgery. At first after the surgery I was concerned that he had not taken off rough as I had to wear D cup bras, but that was mostly due to swelling. 15 months later the swelling is gone, the scars are fading nicely, and I am a solid C cup and very happy with this result. Because of the initial size of my breasts, we had to go with the anchor-shaped procedure rather than the lollipop one, so I still have some raised scar tissue under my breasts, but I expect that that will decrease further in the coming months.

Pros and cons of my experience:

Pros

No more back/neck pain and better body posture

Less unwanted attention

Clothes fit off the rack with no alterations or shopping at specialty stores

Less visible cleavage

Much less boob sweat and lighter bras trap less heat

Less boob pushed into the armpits

Seat belts don’t ride up to my neck

I can actually feel air movement when trying to pump the front of my shirt to cool down

Cross-body bags don’t create massive cleavage

I can reach across the table without getting food stains on my shirt

Rain doesn’t exacerbate the appearance by making a wet upper chest and a completely dry stomach and underboob

So much less drag when I’m swimming, and normal one-piece swimsuits that used to fit me everywhere except the chest now cover my whole chest

I seemed to have greatly increased flexibility immediately post-op but it was just the removal of barriers to movement

Cons

I have to be slightly more careful with my clothing to avoid visible scars

When I want to commiserate with my fellow unfortunate ladies, I have to mention the reduction so they know I know what it’s like
