Hello everyone! I am so glad there is this community. Your posts have helped me a lot. Thanks!
I am a healthy 61 years old, 5’3” 123 lbs. women with a 34DDD+ bra size. My frame is small so it is hard to carry such large breast. Over the last 40 years this has caused back pain, shoulder indentations, and my back is getting curved.
Most people don’t realize how big my breasts are. I am an expert on minimizer, sports bras and how to dress so my breast would not show off.
I’ve always been and still am physically active but stopped jogging 15 years ago when my breast grew from 34D to 34DDD+. The pain made it painful to jog even when wearing two sports bras.
My fear is that as I get older my breasts are going to get even larger and my level of physical activity is going to decrease and the pain and curving of my back will increase and affect my overall health and quality of life.
For years my doctors and physical therapist recommended surgery but the insurance company would not pay for it. Finally this year surgery was approved. I am very happy about it but also a little nervous. I’ve never had any surgery and anesthesia really scares me.
This morning I had my pre-op meeting. My surgeon explained things clearly and answered my numerous questions. She asked me what size I would like them to be and I responded a 34C. She did not commit to a cup size, but she said my breast would be reduced to half their size.
My surgery is scheduled for February 19th. I am a little nervous but looking forward to not having back aches and great summer tops.
I will follow up.
