After many years of dreading to wear a bathing suit in front of others, feeling embarrassed at the gym, and hiding behind baggy clothes.... I've decided to finally go for it and get a breast reduction with a lift. At the age of 15 I was in a DD cup at 115 pounds and now I a F at 135 pounds. 16 years of body image issues!!! I have had enough, so I asked my doctor to refer me to a surgeon back in April. First I had to take a class to learn about the procedure and after some research I got to pick my surgeon for a consolation. Now here I am 5 days before surgery!! Ive spent too many years having indentions in my shoulders, neck and back pain, while feeling insecure. It's time! I am ready to live a healthy and happy lifestyle, free of emotional and physical effects of having large breast. I'm so nervous but beyond excited about doing something I've dreamed about since I was 15!! I keep having dreams that I wake up and they are still there or my surgeon doesn't show up. I'm so close!!! I'm a little worried about going under and the pain. I hope it's worth it! I'm not sure what to expect but I will certainly keep you posted. Eeeek!!!

Congratulations on your upcoming breast reduction procedure; as you likely know, this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Often, patients report almost instantaneous improvement of their symptoms. Remember to communicate your goals carefully with your plastic surgeon; make sure that you are both on the same page before heading to the operating room. In our practice, the use of goal photographs (as opposed to discussing somewhat arbitrary cup sizes) are very helpful. Chances are great that you will be very pleased and will find it was definitely "worth it". Best wishes for smooth surgery and an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Good luck with your surgery! I was about the same size as you and now 2 weeks post op- I think after swelling goes down I will be a D. I felt the results immediately- less back pain and discomfort. Though the waiting part for them to fully settle and heal can be a bit frustrating (and I'm only at 2 weeks), it was so worth it!! Already I am getting so many complements and clothes fits so much better! You will be happy you made the jump :)

Thanks for sharing! I am similar. A 34DD in highschool at 5'6" and 125 pounds or so. I had a tiny waist. By 30, I was a DDD, and now at 40, I'm a 34G-H. Boobs grew in last 2 years before just having a hysterectomy. I kinda wonder if hormone issues caused breasts to grow, because it wasn't fatty tissue - I have super dense and heavy breast tissue. Anyhow, the successful hysterectomy surgery is boosting confidence to have the breast reduction surgery I've always wanted, but have been afraid to have. I hope to follow your future posts! This site has been helpful to see other women so happy with their reductions.
