My Daughter's New Life After Breast Reduction

There are no cons. My 16 yr old daughter was terribly self conscience of her breast size. She was (is) a little under 5 feet and barely weighs 100 pds with large breasts. She was so unhappy and asked for a breast reduction. This was a dramatic decision for both of us to make. So many would not agree with elective surgery for their child. I KNEW how unhappy she was and KNEW this was the right decision.

Her Dr recommended the Dr and we went for a consult. What impressed me the most was the Dr trying to talk her out of the surgery!! She felt it was so important that this be done only if my daughter truly truly felt this necessary. She said she just could not do it if my daughter had any possible regrets. She won, not only my trust and respect but also my heart b/c I knew she DID care about the outcome. We were not just clients.

We went with the surgery and 1 1/2 yrs later, there is not one single day that my daughter feels anything but love for her new figure. It has changed her whole life. We recently went prom dress shopping and my daughter cried while trying on dresses. Tears of joy and thanks that these dresses fit!!!! I am forever grateful for what this has done for my daughter.

Liz and Cristina, I am 18 years old and considering a breast reduction and lift. I am a little over 5 feet and weigh around 125 pounds. Ive been considering this procedure for months now and have already gotten my parents approval. However, my only concern is the scarring. I would love to undergo this surgery to help boost my confidence and self esteem, but thinking about the scars always brings me down. I would love to know how you dealt with your scarring and how bad the scars really are? Thank you!!

Hi!! The scarring is very very minimal. The only thing that Cristina says is that she can not wear a string bikini. But...She now can wear a normal bikini top. I (her Mother) also am very little (just 5 feet and Cristina is too). I too had a breast reduction. There are absolutely NO disadvantages. I had mine done about 6yrs ago and have no scarring left. Please please don't let the worry of scars be a deal breaker. It really is so very minimal and the advantages of "normal size" breasts is just so very worth it. Please let us know if you want to talk more. Best of luck to you!!!

KAH 20, I am not 2 weeks post op of breast reduction surgery. I have to say that the first two days were pretty bad, but since I was on pain meds it wasn't intolerable. My scarring has considerably already went down and is not as noticable as I thought it was going to be. I have to say that it was the best thing I ever did and wish I would have done it when I was 20!

I really wish my mother would understand my pain, and actually support me in my decision to get a breast reduction

Hi ALH24,

I'm sure much like a number of us more "well endowed" girls you are having pain, headaches, etc...does your parents insurance not cover it? I would think it would. I wish you the best and good luck. Please keep me updated.

Hi, my name is Liz, I'm a 19 year old female and I've had somewhat large breasts ever since I can remember. I have a small frame and I'm not even 5 feet, I weigh about 95-100 pounds and I have a 32DD, I've always wanted a breast reduction due to the fact that it's hard for me to play sports and just exercise I feel very self conscious about my breasts and often hate finding clothes that fit my small frame but can accomodate my big breasts.

Is there anything that your daughter really likes about her boobs now? If you don't mind answering what size did she go down to from what size?

Hi Britt,
I'm unsure if my parents insurance covers it, I'm often in tears to my mum about my problem but every time I bring it up she just ignores me
