Where you start...omg well here it goes I started developing breast in the 5 grade and they always been big. I was always embrassed and wore like a jacket to cover up because I embrassed that I was so much developed than the other girls. Of course the my boyfriend loves me having big breast I even self conciuous abou them in front of him and we have child and been together for 6 years. I just get embrassed about my breast and he can't understand. The pain and stress that they put on my body is stressful. I wake up every morning with neck pain and back pain. I can't sleep on my back or my stomach because my breast are in the way. It has gotten to the point now that I get pain in my breast very often so I went to the dr arnd come to find out my breast have been pulling on the ligaments in my breast that causes tremendous . My next visit will be will the plastic surgeon 10/28/13 to see how much tissue will be removed and what techniques he will use. I'm a ball of emotions right now because I wanted this for so long but im so scared....I will post any updates that come along ohhhh and pictures :)

Shawnytutu, what size were you before the reduction, and what was your target size and why? Are they the size you expected? I had my reduction on 12/05/13 and I had asked for a small C--I am swollen right now, but my breasts look lopsided and bigger than a C.

I had my reduction six weeks ago because of shooting pain in my right breast and life long neck and back pain. It's amazing. He only took five pounds off but i can tell a huge difference. As an added bonus, my clothes actually fit right now !!!! And when I talk to someone new they seem to talk to me, not get distracted by pendulous boobage. I completely understand the nervousness. Make sure that you are completely at ease talking to your surgeon and that he listens. Good luck!!

Hello Shawny my name is Shareefah and I've been following you on YouTube for a year now and thanks to your videos I was able to have my breast reduction with no fear. I'm 1 month post op now the only problem I'm experiencing is that my left boob is harder than the right is this normal? My PS says its just my tissue getting readjusted or going back to normal. My right boob is soft and not swollen any more,but its still hard to buy bras. Any suggestions?

Surgery day/Dr.Larsen

So I finally got a chance to meet my surgeon. Now I work with alot of dr's and some of tbem are so arrogant and rude. Dr.Larsen is very personable and has good bedside manner. I was comfortable talking with him about the surgery. We discussed how much tissue he is going to remove and its going to be abiut 700 grams which is 1.5 pounds per breast he may take more. He answered all my questions and didnt rush me he really is a sweet guy. So we have decided on a hospital and surgery date of Dec 6 2013. The only thing im waiting for is for my insurance go ahead and approve the surgery. Oh one more thing.....he asked about sagging now my breast have always been big but the sagging started a few yrs ago after having my son. When he took a look at my breast he told me that my skin is thin because they are hanging and pulling I was shocked and didn't expect to hear that.. Now im patiently waiting to hear back from my insurance company so keeping my fingers crossed.

Insurance Approval and Pre-Op date!!!

So my insurance was finally approved. There was kind of a mix up with my insurance because we were waiting on a pre certification but the whole time my insurance plan already had the surgery covered. So when I got the news I was beyond happy. After getting that news I got a call about my pre op appt date which is Nov 26 and yes I am nervous excited and scared. The lady who handled all the insurance issues was very nice and easy to talk to her name is sherri and she is great. So its getting close to the date and im ready and scared......ooohhh wait I dnt know exactly how much my surgery is because my insurance is covering but I do have to pay a $250 fee to dr.Larsen and my $ 500 deductible so all together $750 which is not bad for a surgery like this which can easily be in the thousands. My next update will be on Pre-Op day ;)

I just have to say, your skintone is just gorgeous. I love the pic of the markings. It's almost like a rite of passage and you're better able to "see" to where your nipples will be moved and your new breasts will be!
