I haven't had a breast reduction yet, but at...
I first grew boobs when I was about 12, and while they were big compared to other girls they weren't the bad. They always sagged though, right from the start. I was about a D for many years then a DD, which was OK, then they went to E in my thirties. The last eight years have been awful. Very uncomfortable all the time. I haven't worked out the payment yet, or anything like that but I expect it will cost a lot. I don't have insurance so I will have to find a way to pay for it. I will see the plastic surgeon in June.
On the road
I have just had my meeting with Dr Alastair Taylor. He is lovely, and so are his staff, and they are very sympathetic to my plight - ie the big boobs. He explained what was involved and I am to have an anchor scar with inferior pedicle, with some liposuction at the sides. That sounds good to me. It means that apparently, there will be no droopage at the end - I said that was great. I have had the drooping boobs for more than 30 years and I am totally over it. He also said that the reduction would reduce my chance of getting breast cancer by half. That I didn't know but it sounds logical, and good to me. I am booked for 26 September and will require two weeks to get over it. I will have to pay about $14,000 but will get some back from Medicare, which will reduce it to $12,900 or so. Having private medical cover would reduce this, but I dropped it years ago as it is too expensive. Some of this should come back to me on tax I hope. I am so doing it. Even more sure now.

Provider Review
Dr Taylor was very nice and understanding. His staff were too. I found him to be totally professional and he answered all my questions. The clinic they have set up is wonderful. It only can have five patients and is very calm and quiet. I was amazed I could have a great experience like this in my own home town. I would like to say that through all the issues I have had, the CAPs clinic has been just wonderful. Very supportive and helpful. If I have had any problem at all, they have responded quickly and arranged for my doctor to see me. He has been very kind and helped me so much. I really am so grateful.
