32F to 32C

Hi nutmeg 17! I think you will be so happy that you had this surgery. I have a slight frame and was a 30E/32DD. No one ever realized I had big boobs, as I was good at disguising them too. I had surgery 7 weeks ago and am now a full 32B/small 32C depending on the manufacturer. This is by far the best thing I ever did for myself and I wish I had done it 20 years ago! I feel so much happier and more confident in my clothes. I feel much lighter without the weight in front of me. The nerves of waiting for the surgery date to come is definitely the worst bit of the whole procedure. It is nowhere near as uncomfortable as I was expecting. If I had to, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I think the majority of the women on this site would say the same thing. Good luck. We are all here for you :)

I'm in the same boat as you really, mine just never seemed to stop growing and I was prepared to live with them until I started to get back pain and I've reached a point where I can't deal with it. But unlike you I don't have much time to think about mine, I saw my PS Wednesday and my BR is scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm so nervous but like you I feel this is the best thing to do and like you I'm praying this helps with my back pain

Thank you guys for responding and for the support! It's much appreciated and it's good to know there's so many women out there who can relate to what I'm going through. I know I'm only going to get more anxious in the up coming months but I'm really excited too :)

i think your breasts are beautiful and the scars are so hard to live with. i know. please think twice

I understand what you're saying Elaena. It's not that I dislike my breasts, I think they're beautiful too, but they're in disproportionation to my body. My waist is about 24", hips about 35" and my chest is 36" or 37". I am in chronic pain. I am in pain as I am typing this. I have to fork out 60-100$ a month for physio and massage therapy (and I only make about $1000 a month because I'm on modified hours BECAUSE of my back pain) So it's not that I hate my chest itself, I think they are lovely, just too big for my frame, too much of a burden for me to deal with everyday. In my city, I have only found one bra store that carries my size (30/32 F) and they only have one bra in my size and it's $70.00. I am tired of having little to no options. I am tired of feeling hunched over, like I can't stand up straight or I look ridiculous. No, ofcourse no one wants scars on their body, but for the trade I'll be getting, for the possibility of having no, or less chronic pain that puts me in tears atleast once or twice a week, that has made me feel suicidal, I am willing to make that trade.

Your breasts are disproportionate for your small frame. You know that of course but you have to have oversized breasts to understand the pain and difficultly of carrying around all of that excess tissue. We all understand it here! Good for you! I wish I had a time machine to go back to your age and have it done then. I'm 40 and it doesn't get better with time. Glad you live in a country that pays for life changing surgery!

im slightly jealous at how good your boobs look before you have done anything to them. mine were pretty bad before. they look way better now even though there is scars. i really do find the scars hard to live with it, but i am trying to get used to them. i was as slim as you and i just didnt feel comfortable either. i only said that you should think twice because i really think your breasts look good. in some pictures people have before reduction, i would think yeah they need it or whatever. but i do understand if you are not comfortable and if they are heavy etc and I think you will get a really good result from your reduction and because they have such a perfect shape now id say you could get away with the minimal scar techniques. :)

You can answer yes to more questions than I could. I had never been to the doctors before about my chronic pain, because I was far too embarrassed and I guess a little bit in denial that it was actually my breasts causing me pain, I'd been teased as long as I can remember (I was a dd since 13-14) and had forced myself to get used to my breast and tried my hardest to embrace them as part of who I am, this whole 'love your body' thing, I really did try but couldn't. I had close friends (not friends anymore) take digs and quite frankly constantly make me feel like [RS bleep] about my boobs so this all added to my embarrassment of not wanting to admit it was my boobs. I reached a point three weeks ago where I just could not take it anymore and I broke down, and made an appointment for the Monday. My doctor took one look at me, my posture, my shoulders, asked me a few questions and could tell how much of a constant downer they were for me and she referred me to a surgeon, I saw my surgeon who asked me very similar questions and saw my bare breasts and said right then and there that I was doing the right thing. Big boobs are not just a pysical pain they are emotionally damaging too, it's horrible not being able to go in and buy a $9 bra, or having to buy clothes above your size to Cater to your boobs, people constantly stare and always ask or make jokes about them, the CONSTANT re adjusting every step you take, the list is endless and it does ware you down. Speaking from somebody who had a huge panic about this operation, I almost had an asthma attack when they booked my appointment, I was shaking and sobbing hysterically and I looked up every worst case scenario possible and I WON'T lie to you I did panic about the scars but looking at the after photographs from my surgeon and from even the worst of healers they were ridiculously faint after a year and all these creams and oils nowadays for scars and stretch marks is endless and they all work miracles. And I mean its not like you walk down the street exposing your boobs to every person you meet, you will see them everyday, and a partner will see them (and if they are there for all the right reasons they are not going to give a [RS bleep] about two very faint scars) the scars don't impare your boobs abilities to be boobs, they are still just that: boobs, they can still be put into bras, can still breast feed, can still be touched, they don't cease to be boobs because of scars. It's also a little reminder of the brave thing you did, went through, and kicked ass at! It is Such a TINY price to pay for a brand new life really, I'm only a week post op but my life has already changed dramatically and the most I've done is move from my bed to the couch but my whole attitude about myself and my body has changed! I'm sorry I've rambled but I really cannot recommend this operation more, and I am 100% on your side and in agreement with everything you say because I can relate 100%. I guess I'm just trying to give you that extra reassurance I always got that helped me by each day knowing there were others out there who had been there with me and had done this operation and were living new incredible lives afterwards.

Big Boobs no matter how great they look are a pain in the ass. Well, not ass but, neck, shoulders, back, ribs, and the headaches. Honey although your girls look perky doesn't mean they are not heavy and dense and causing you unbelievable pain. I can't understand why anyone would think we would do this to ourselves for any other reason. Get this surgery. I had a dr tell me when I was 22 that all my pain stemmed from my large boobs. Well I'm 39yrs old and nursed 2 babies. The pain gets more and more ridiculous. I wish I would have listened and done this in my 20's. but im doing it now. April 12th. keep us posted and stay positive.

I'm sorry some girls have given you a hard time. Eff-them, who cares what they think. I was wondering though, why you are scheduled for this fall? Are you waiting for any particular reason? Finances, maybe? You will be so happy when it's done. I know I am, it's the best thing I ever did for myself.
