How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I have always felt that I was disfigured. I have always been self-conscience of my breasts starting with a large C in 9th grade. When I gain weight that is exactly where is lands first. After college, I worked off some weight and I think when I met my husband, I was 5’3, 125 lbs and probably a DDD. Even before we were married, I talked about getting a reduction and he was OK with it. Some 21 years later, with 2 kids 15 and 11 and weight from the pregnancies, I am just too big! I wear a size H because it is hard to find anything larger, though I know I’ve had some I and J cups. If you go by the suggestions on how to measure, I think I would be a K at my heaviest. While the kids were younger, I did exercise from time to time (mostly walking because that’s the easiest thing for these “girls”). But after moving to Texas it became harder. I’m not a good dieter but this year my husband joined me because he had started to gain too much weight. Since May of this year I have lost 35 lbs dieting with him and adding exercising. Each 5 lbs off made it easier to exercise. I now finally fit in those H cups!
After losing 15 lbs, I went and saw my plastic surgeon in late July. I chose him because of his location and the reviews I read. I probably should have had other consultations, but I was happy. And since then, I’ve received good feedback from friends of friends who have used his services. And even one of my friends has been an OR nurse for him, so I’m quite confident with him.
Tomorrow is my 2-week pre-op appointment with him. I need to get busy today and get a list of questions, but I’m getting nervous. I’ve been on this site reading for months and thought maybe if I write it will help me. My surgery is Dec 17. I selected this time to give me more time to lose weight and the kid’s school schedule (I won’t be able to drive). At my consultation, I said I wanted a C cup and he suggested a D based on my current proportions. So I’m anxious to see what he says tomorrow. My husband wants me to be a D or DD, but I think he is just so used to me being so big. My fear is if at the end I am a D cup, I’ll remain there if I lose more weight which is the plan.
As for costs, I’ll find out for sure tomorrow what my out of pocket will be. Blue Cross Blue Shield has approved the surgery (I think they looked at my picture the Dr. forwarded and said good gosh give that women a new set!) and quickly within a week. I didn’t expect that. I am also having lipo on the sides. This is my present to me. My insurance won’t cover the lipo, but will pick up 90% of the bill for the BR.
So the next 2 weeks will be interesting. Tree is up and some decorations (kept it minimal this year because I won’t be able to put it all away), most of the presents purchased and wrapped. Kids are getting more curious and I’ve been trying to forewarn my husband. I showed him some of the pictures here. I may plan to hire someone to help clean because I think I won’t get done and it will irritate me more after the surgery. And I’m traveling next week for work and then need to have my son’s birthday party the weekend before the surgery. That should take my mind off of things.
Now that I’ve rambled… thanks for reading. Here’s to Santa for bringing me new boobies. Little new boobies.

After losing weight, found out on Monday at pre-cert appointment, that I am now longer in size! It means I will be having an FNG but can go smaller that what he thought. Goal is a large C/small D. Next up is pre-op appointment on Friday. Also, I can say that after I wrote this earlier in the week. I felt so much better!
Pre-cert appointment done on Friday. Will...
Pre-cert appointment done on Friday. Will basically just have to walk in the morning, sign one thing and then off to wait for surgery. A few more gift cards to purchase and Christmas shopping will be done. 120 lbs of dog food stocked up. A few more things stocked. Ready and waiting. And one of the things driving me crazy is that I can't find any short sleeve button pajamas or any light button t-shirts. not even in texas. It will get cold here next week, but could warm up again. Next week I'm traveling for week (agreed to this to keep my mind on other things) and then my oldest turns 16. One final day of wrapping things up and then its "little boobie" time.
