22 Years Old. Heavy Breasts. Getting a Much Needed Breast Reduction - Cleveland, OH

I'm 22 years old and I've been wanting a breast reduction since I was 16. When I turned 13 it seemed that my boobs grew in overnight and then came in heavy and saggy. I've always talked about wanting a reduction but was always a little over weight so I figured the doc would just say I needed to lose weight. I was never obese just a little pudgy so I kept putting it off hoping that I could make them smaller if I lost weight. I lost about 45 pounds a few years ago and they didn't even go down in size at all. I gained a lot of the weight back and my boobs still stayed the same size. In the last few years I've been dealing with bad back pain, wrists going numb, shoulder grooves and rashes under my breasts so I decided to see the plastic surgeon. He told me this was one of the most satisfying procedure that he does and almost all of his patients said it was 100% the right decision. So we submitted all my records to my insurance and it came back a month later approved! I've been very nervous since I've never had surgery and I've been going back and forth thinking if this was the right decision. I defiantly believe it is now cause In the last 4 months I've again lost 30 pounds and my breast haven't changed at all. So I defiantly know this is the right decision.

I had my preop appt Tuesday and it went better then I expected. I was very nervous about all the outcomes that I could have from this and made sure I asked the surgeon everything I was concerned about. I wanted to make sure my breasts would be lifted after this and he say yes. Thank god. I've never been able to wear cute bras cause they've never given me the support I needed and going with a strapless bra was a joke to me! He also said I could go back to exercising after 1 week! Which is so great for me since in these last 4 months I've been going to the gym daily and dropping pounds and gaining a lot of Muscle(except for in my breasts) so thinking I wasn't going to be able to go back to the gym for a while was re ally upsetting me. And now I'm actually going to be able to run without practically hitting myself in the face with my boobs. He also showed me his album of a lot of reductions that he did and they all looked wonderful. This was a relief to me also. I'm just very nervous about coming out disfigured. The office has very nice post op bras that are 50, but they felt so smooth and lightweight I knew they'd be worth it. I'm just so excited to have this done and hopefully make my back feel a lot better and give me more confidence in myself
