WORTH IT$6,500
Hey ladies! So Dec 3 was my 1 year anniversary of my new boobs! Hard to believe how fast time flew by from wanting one my whole adult life, to taking the actions to get approved for one, to making it a reality. It is still the best decision I have ever made and I have zero regrets. I'm able to run comfortably for the first time in my life, I can do yoga w out my boobs suffocating me. If your wanting to lose weight and get serious about your health a breast reduction will make it so much easier. Clothes fit so much better I can wear just about anything I want. They are not as perky as they were the first couple months but they have a natural hang which does not bother me at all. I'm still able to go bra less they just don't look like little implants anymore lol. The scarring is so minimal they fade more and more each month it seems. Scarring is better than huge back breaking breast any day though! I'm a perfect 36c and most importantly I'm comfortable in my skin. My body is much more proportioned. This will be my last post and I'll probably delete my review eventually but I hope I was able to inspire someone to take those steps to change whatever they don't like about themselves no matter what it is especially if it effects your health. As long as your doing it strictly for yourself with no outside influence just do it. Yes it's a hassle dealing with insurance and finding the right surgeon but trust me it's all worth it. 2 years ago I wouldn't have imagined I'd be sitting here w new breast. Trust me it's worth it! Good luck to all in the process!?

Hey ladies just wanted to give a quick update I haven't been on here in a while but it seems like nobody who I follow has lol. My notifications used to blow up but now I get nothing. I guess the excitement ends shortly after the surgery. Anyways it's finally summer and I rarely wear a bra. It feels good to finally not need one and to go to the gym w just one regular sports bra and have enough support. The scarring is so minimal and even if they don't get lighter I'm ok w that but I do feel they will completely disappear over time. Just to be able to wear what I want and no longer have severe pain from the weight makes everything worth it. The only negative is I don't think I will ever have complete feeling in my right nipple but to have the surgery done is worth it i was never really into nipple action anyway lol. If I had to do the surgery all over again I wouldn't think twice I would definitely do it again. My life has changed for the better. My pre op breast made me insecure nothing fit right and I didn't like my body at all. Now I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I have ever been i love my body and I never thought I could feel like that. I learned as women we will never be perfect to everyone but if you don't see the beauty in yourself you can bet no one else will. You have to be your biggest fan. Surgery doesn't fix what's damaged on the inside but let's be real when you look good you feel good you perform better and that's a great start!

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I came here to get up to speed after getting my approval and surgery scheduled very quickly. I also have Tricare and expected it to be more of a fight. I do have a history of back issues and they've sent me to physical therapy for it. I also need an extreme amount removed, so I guess that made it an easy decision for them. It didn't take long to get the apt after my PCM put in for a consult with a PS. Then it took about a week and a half for the approval to come through, and the first appointment for the surgery was less than a month after that. I'd been dreaming of doing this for more than 30years, but once I actually mentioned it to my PCM it's all gone super fast. I'm glad you have shared your story, and came back for an update. Your words are inspiring. You are so right about love and self acceptance. I've put off doing this because taking care of myself never seemed as important as taking care of anybody else. Now that my back has gotten so bad I can't do so well taking care of everybody else it's got my attention. If I'd taken more care for myself sooner it wouldn't have come to this. At lest I'm here now. :)

I've been thinking about this yoga picture since you posted it. It's inspiring to see how comfortable you are in your skin now. What a transformation!

tattoo my nipples?
reduction1215March 4, 2016
Yesterday was my 3 month anniversary and I'm feeling great. I'm running about 3 to 4 times a week and all I need is a good sports bra to keep the boobs in control. That's a wonderful feeling considering running was never an option even w a regular bra and a sports bra they were flying around every where! My breast are still sitting pretty but they have a much more natural shape to them now which at first I was bummed about bc I loved the round implant look but I still can go bra less so I'm not complaining. My nipples have some discoloration that does bother me sometimes so I'm thinking about getting them tattooed in the light spots....any ladies on here done that? I just want them to look like perfect circles and they did right after surgery but as time has gone on I have lost some pigment I hope I don't lose anymore. I do need to buy more bras I only have like 3 lol but I find underwire bras to be so uncomfortable now so I only wear them to work then I wear a sports bra the rest of the day. It's hard to believe I used to have a underwire bra on literally 24/7 unless I was in the shower bc my breast were so big it was not comfortable to sleep with out one on. I have absolutely zero regrets about my surgery I would do it again in a heartbeat. The confidence you gain plus the comfort is priceless. Tomorrow night I'm going to a party where I get to look sexy so I'm going to the mall when I get off to find the perfect (no bra required) outfit lol. Little things like that are exciting. I am so blessed to have gotten this done basically for free my only regret is not doing it years ago.

March 11, 2016
Hey u just have to be careful not to get the tape wet. Shower w your back to the water and use a damp washcloth to gently clean your chest
March 11, 2016
