ORIGINAL POST

So I'm writing this review because I'm just so...

So I'm writing this review because I'm just so excited and it's all that I can think about, and reading other people's reviews has really helped me through this process.

I have pretty much been uncomfortable with my boobs since I was 12 and they started growing twice as quickly as anybody else's, since primary school they have always been larger than all of my friends and I have always tried to hide them. I recently started a job where I have to be on my feet for 6-9 hours with no real break, which makes my back pain almost unbearable by the end of it. As well as the painful aspect of it I also hate how they look, they've been like this since I was 16 and feel like I shouldn't have such droopy while I'm so young! I can't buy certain clothes, have to spend at least £30 when i buy a bra and they're all ugly, the same with swimsuits. I have bad posture as I feel like when stand up straight I am sticking them out and making them look even bigger.

I had my first ever consultation on the 18th of March with Iain Brown, he was so kind and and really understanding, I was going in there thinking I'd have to almost convince him to let me have the surgery but he said that he could see why I wanted it and was very sympathetic, more so than anyone I've ever spoken to about it, even more so than my mum who has the same problems.

Iain says he tries to make people look in proportion and says I will be about a 36D, which still seems quite big to me. I'm a 34F at the moment, I just hope I don't still feel like they're too big afterwards.

My boyfriend is trying to be supportive, and he is sympathetic with my pack pain but he doesn't see the aesthetic side of it, he just thinks I'm being silly when I say I want to change the size because of the looks as well as comfort, it's about 50/50 for me, but he thinks that that's vein as he's never really struggled with confidence issues and I don't think he realises that this is something that will change my whole life. But my surgery is now scheduled for the 16th of May, looking at other peoples reviews 2 months seems pretty quick but it feels like a lifetime away! The waiting is definitely the hardest part so far, I'm not even slightly nervous yet just too excited. Any tips or advice will be appreciated and I will add more photos when it's done!

I am 4 days post op. Was 32E, now likely to be a D when swelling goes down. So perky and loving it. Op was no big deal, dont know why I was so worried. Would do it all over again. I love the results. Should have done this year's ago!

I think if a woman feels she needs a breast reduction then it ought to be considered, this girl is probably only going to get bigger. Having to carry a large burden on your front is beyond a joke, not to mention being the butt of jokes and innuendo. I am fortunate inasmuch as I'm a very small built person but it doesn't stop me having a deal of sympathy as I worked in plastic surgery and saw various procedures turn peoples lives around.

Thanks for understanding. I think that it is something that really can change a persons life, and especially their confidence!l

Surgery moved up!

So my surgery has been moved up due to a cancellation, it is now on the 25th April. I can't believe i have just over a week left of having big boobs, it's so soon! I'm still pretty worried about the anesthetic but I am just so excited now. I had to have my MRSA test today and now have just one consultation before the surgery.

Not long long, bet you're pleased it's been bought forward! I had mine on 7/4 and seem to be recovering well. I was a UK 38GG and was insistent with my surgeon that I wanted at least 50% off to be a large c or small d and would be happier on being on the smaller side then larger. I had 3kgs removed in total from my boobs as they were very dense!!! My surgeon kept asking me how did I manage to carry them around for so long ( she's a AA cup at the most so would never know). I've tried on a few sports bras and seem to be a c cup at the mo. Good luck for yours and I promise you it really will be life changing. Sue

I am so pleased yes, less than a week now! I'm hopefully going down to a c/d too, it must be such a relief for you to be rid of all that heaviness! Best of luck with healing

How exciting! Good luck and I'm looking forward to your update. I'm not brave enough yet..
April 20, 2015
Thank you! It is a scary thing to do, especially if you're not 100 percent sure. I've known ive wanted this for years now it's just exciting it's happening!
April 21, 2015
I've wanted it since I was 16.... I'm 28 now, stuck in the wanting vs. needing mind set. It's an intense surgery and things could go wrong. I made an apt with my gyno for June 4 and I'm going to ask her then what the process is and how hard it is to go about through my insurance. I'm afraid of the scarring and I'm more afraid of being left with DD's or something still big. I guess I wouldn't know what I could get until after I go in for a consultation... I'm excited for you! It'll make a huge difference in your quality of life :) I can't stop thinking about what a joy it would be to not have to check the appropriateness of my cleavage before leaving my house...
April 22, 2015
I see, yes there are a lot of risks, but for me they outweighed it, for example if there was a way that I could find out beforehand if I would lose sensation in my nipple forever, I would still go through with the surgery if i knew that would happen. The consultation did help me a lot, just go for as many as it takes! It's a huge desicion, but as you probably know there are very few people who regret it, i am also worried I'm still going to be too big but i think most people worry about that! Haha I feel that low cut tops are such a no at moment... good luck x
April 20, 2015
That's exciting getting your date moved forward. Good luck. I am few days before you.
April 20, 2015
Wow yours must be very close now then, good luck with it :)

Hi, your story sounds a lot like mine. It's sooo worth it! I was very nervous for the anesthetic too! It's fine! Read my post!
April 23, 2015
I'm SO scared of the anesthetic! I'll do that now :)
April 23, 2015
Don't worry about the anesthetic! I had a BR done on 13/4/15 great Britain! I was worried about this bit aswell but the nurses and the anesthesiologist puts you at ease! I don't even remember being put to sleep, I was sitting there one minute waiting and the next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery! You will be fine it's not half as bad as you imagine! Good luck :)
April 23, 2015
Thank you! I know it's silly it's just hard to take my mind of it especially as it's so close now! Hope you're healing well :)
April 23, 2015
I know exactly where you are coming from. It will all be worth it in the end though, I know it's the best decision iv ever made. You will be fine :)
