Hello everyone I am here to share my story. I'm 32 with 2 kids, 5'8-165 lbs, and all I can remember is having large breast. Even before I had children they were big. My neck, back, arms, everything hurts. I have marks under my arms, on my shoulders. My surgery is in September and I am looking forward to it. I had an awesome consultation with a great plastic surgeon and she is amazing . I am very comfortable with her and confident that she will do a great job. I am young but I decided to do the surgery because I am not having anymore children. Wouldn't make any sense to have the surgery and then have more kids and they get big again. I am just rambling on, I will be back on sharing more of my thoughts and concerns. I watched a video of a reduction and that plastic surgeon just hacked away like it was meat, lol, shouldn't have watched that. Still ready to go, I would have the surgery done sooner but I want to enjoy the summer and not deprive my kids of their break because I'm all banged up. Til next time. Oh and I'm tired of the looks from men, like I'm a freak show or something.

It will be worth it, I am sorry that I waited so long. I am 50 and am 7 months post op, you are so much younger. It is great that you are having surgery when you are young. Even though I am older my surgery and recovery were fine absolutely no problems, I healed very quickley. Best of luck and of course you have a wealth of information at your finger tips all you have to do is ask.

I keep seeing all the pictures of those that have already had the surgery and it's driving me nuts. September seems like a long time away for my surgery. I swear if I didn't have kids I would do it tomorrow. Well if I didn't have kids they probably wouldn't be this big. LOL. It seems like over the past few weeks I have became real uncomfortable with the large breast. They have always been a problem but I guess because I'm finally going to have the reduction my anxiety is off the charts. I made a good choice to wait until school starts back up so my kids can enjoy the summer. BUT I AM READY!!!!!!! Exercising is a big problem for me, they hurt so bad just before my period starts. The back pain, marks and bruises from the bra, hopefully the marks are not permanent and I can do something to get rid of them. Okay ladies until next time.

Thanks Wendy, yeah I really want to go now, but I robbed my kids last summer with renovating my house. They would probably fire me if I did it to them for another summer. Lol. Yes every one seems so nice and it really appreciate the pictures, good to see all the pros and cons of the surgery.

The waiting is tough. Just get as fit and healthy as you can be

Thank you, I have really been hitting the gym. Thinking I should try to lose some weight before the surgery. I'm pretty healthy now, I eat really good, and don't smoke. I really appreciate you taking the time to give advice. I need it all from the pros.

Wow. We're also close to the same age and size... Waiting is really hard. Good luck with the gym! Swimming is also something you could consider; decent calorie burn, and water supports 'them'.

Waiting is hard, I didn't want to be all busted up for the summer. I will try swimming, anything to support my girls sounds good to me. Thanks!!!!

I watched a BR surgery and I thought the same thing. It was like he was just cutting away. Lol. Idk what made me watch it either. But hey we will be sleep when it happens. Lol. Continue to focus on your exercises and time will fly and the weight will melt off. Good luck!!!!

What size are you going to

Between C-D, the PS can't guarantee a certain size, which I pretty much already knew. Kinda impossible to be honest.

The wait for my big day seems so far away. I scheduled my pre op today and that felt like a little progress. Lol, right. I want to just get it over with heal up and go on with my life pain free. Having my surgery scheduled in September does allow me time to see all the before and after pics of my real self breast reduction family. Thanks ladies for putting the pics online. I have a good idea of what to expect after my surgery. A realistic idea of what I can expect. One thing I need to ask my PS is about drains. It seems like about half the women on here have drains and the other half don't. What determines if drains are put in? Okay ladies until next time.
