Hi guys so i thought i would introduce myself and...
WORTH IT$13,500
Hi guys so i thought i would introduce myself and document my whole breast reduction experience. All my life i have had extremely large breasts. My current size is an Australian 12J and i am in so much physical and emotional pain. I have lost approx 20kg since i was a teenager however my breasts dont lose or gain size. They are very bottom heavy and are causing horrible pain in my back and neck. I am very self conscious and always have bad posture to 'hide' my girls. I am very sporty and love bodybuilding and exercise. My huge breasts make it uncomfortable and i cant do any cardio without four sports bras. Not to mention how hard it is to find bras with big cups and small back sizes ???? I Am seeing my surgeon Howard Webster for a consult on monday. And i am so excited! Its going to be the start of much awaited freedom.

Consult tomorrow
So because i am documenting my whole experience for the ladies who may be considering this procedure i thought i might post a update tonight. Tomorrow is my consultation with Dr webster and i cannot contain my excitement! I have to work untill 12am tonight and i have to be up a 6am. Fair to say i wont be getting much sleep! My mums coming along with me which is awesome. I will have so many questions to ask and im excited to met the surgeon who will change my life. I really hope there isnt a large wait between consult and surgery because i have mentally prepared myself for this the past 5 years haha. I will post a update tomorrow on the consultation and hopefully i will have my surgical date! Take care xo

Good Luck. I have been wanting a reduction since I was 16 only doing it at the age of 48. My greatest concern is the sizing and positioning of the nipple and I really don't want the same hanging boobs but smaller. Looking forward to the updates.

CONSULT :D
Good afternoon all :)
Well I am absolutely bouncing around with joy right now. This morning at 9am I got to meet my surgeon and discuss surgical questions and queries. He said I am a fantastic candidate for this procedure, and because I am young (21) he wanted to make sure I was aware of the possible cons. Breast feeding was discussed at length as I don't have children at the moment. We also discussed scarring and nipple sensations. I am not concerned about all three possible cons. Obviously if I can I would like to breast feed but my emotional and physical health comes first at the moment. And kids are far far far away lol. As he viewed my breasts he estimated that he will remove 75 % of breast tissue to reduce me to a D cup. Wow! Having 75% less boobage will feel amazing and I'll still be a decent size. I'm wrapped! His nurse took a 3D photo that animated my breast for comparisons. I also had 2D photos taken at different angles. His assistant will return to work tomorrow so I'll find out when my surgical date is! He is quite booked out currently (melbournes most demanded plastic surgeon) but I'm hoping it won't be to long or i can take a cancellation as I'm very uncomfortable right now. I'll post a update tomorrow on my dates and cost. It's go time!! Xx

Hi Pinglets
Im here to encourage you!! Its a huge decision to make to have a BR, but you will not regret it and life will be so much easier/freer.
I also saw Howard and am now nearly 10 weeks post-op. I love my smaller boobies :) and am really impressed with how neat the incision lines are- fading nicely, and the symmetry achieved. Wish l had of had this done years ago, but then again, l may not have had Howard, he is such a lovely person to talk to and takes time explaining everything to you- no rushing to get through consult. From what lve experienced and read, a very skilled, knowledgeable surgeon.
Staff also are lovely - Tracey always up for a bit of a chat after consults!
You will find this site such a wealth of information, enjoy the journey. x

So happy you have a good surgeon!!! That was going to be my recommendation, is don't cut corners- it's your body and don't take any chances. Give yourself the best possible option for a good outcome!!! Good luck to you and I wish you all the best!!!

My breasts are quite similar to yours. (Or rather they were). I was a 34 HH (32H before children and a 34JJ while breast feeding). I'm so glad they gave you a rendering of what to expect. I think this would have helped me. I wanted to have about half removed but I'm sure they took about 75%. I don't know what size I am now. Possible a 34D-DD. I feel too small and am in shock. They took 1kg from each breast. I was not prepared for the hormonal swing ... This procedure is so emotionally charged. Again, I'm so happy you have a picture to lessen the shock and I'm glad you found yourself an *in demand* surgeon. Have lots of support around you. :). Best of luck on this journey! Thank you for sharing your story.

I had a BR with Howard last March. Put simply he is the best!
I am so happy I did it and wish I had done it years ago (at your age in fact!)
Howard & all his team are wonderful. You are in very good hands x
Ps I have posted my review on here
Well i guess if back pain bothers you wish there's other way to prevent it. You should ask more people what they think first. I think more people would say you are lucky to have big boobs and looks nice.
