My breasts began growing when I was 12, by the time I was 14 I was hearing catcalls like "boobs!" when I was walking the 12 blocks to my girlfriend's house. I was very self conscious. I was quite active in sports and would wear my sisters bra(which was tight being smaller) when I ran my events. As I grew older my attire grew more matronly, I downplayed my chest as much as I could. I nursed my 4 children and my breasts seemed to get bigger with each baby. Anxiety can still hit me when I am in public. I quit running in my 20's. I try to jog on trails where no one else is so they don't watch my boobs bouncing all over. I wear a lot of tshirts and men's button downs. It's hard to feel girly when I dress this way. My consultation is tomorrow. I used my surgeon last year for my eye lift and feel comfortable with him and his work. I look forward to one day being able to blend in when I walk down the street. I look forward to wearing cute girl shirts. I look forward to running again. Taking my life back and feeing myself from my boob prison!
I currently am a 42FF wanting to go down to a full B or small C. I'll know more tomorrow after my consultation. So, follow me through my escape from boobiness to normal, I am very excited and a bit apprehensive. I tried to upload my pics but haven't figured out why I can't yet. I'll get one of my adult kids to help me lol.

I remember what it felt like to be the only girl in my class to have a bra..I would even wear jumpers in summer to try to hide them..Knowing what I know now the jumpers probably gave me a mono boob which is even worse LOL..You will be so glad you did this, I waited until I was 60, should have done it years ago but better late than never...Good luck on your journey...

Consultation day!
my surgeon went over the procedures with me today. He plans on removing 500 from right breast and 550 from left. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Naffziger, so far I have little anxiety. He is not going to do the "t" for reduction, rather a "c" like scar instead. He feels his patients have less chances for open wounds under the breast from skin pulling tight their during recovery. I am very happy with the appointment and am counting the days til November5!

It's called the Hammond Procedure, it's J and L scars. Although my ps explained this to my satisfaction I went on google and learned more about it. There will be no scar under my breast to possibly open and they will not have to move my nipple. If I am understanding this correctly he removes volume then sutures and lifts. I not concerned about scarring- no one sees my breasts but me and partner of 20 years- but the thought of not having my nipples moved made me happy. He has years of practice and satisfied patients do I am not concerned about his decision this is the right procedure for my reduction. It will be interesting though, I see the T in the pictures and no J L - so feel a bit like this is unknown.
Welcome to the community. Ugh, big boobs as a kid is horrible. I went through the same thing and hated it. Better days are ahead for you. I am glad to her that your consult went well and you are scheduled.
