WORTH IT$13,500
I am 23 years old and I'm approximately 173cm and have been thinking about having this surgery probably for the last 9 years. I have had huge boobs for as long as I can remember.
They began bothering me when I was about 14, Boys were paying too much attention for all the wrong reasons and it made me very insecure about myself.
I have reached a point of desperation as my back pain is chronic and constant, it takes me hours to fall asleep and I simply cannot wear anything the way it should be worn unless it is a moo moo haha.
I work in a clothing store and it gets pretty depressing when the only thing i can honestly wear is a big men's T-shirt.
So I booked in a consultation with Dr Jane Peterson about a month ago and was all excited, the only thing in my way was funding.
But I have finally been approved for my loan and I'm all booked in for October 7th!!!

I am so scared but have never been more excited for anything in my life. I am hoping to go down to a small D cup :)
As I have darker skin I am scared of the scarring but I think it will be worth it ! I'll take some pictures of my boobs tomorrow and put them up.

Do it! I just had my reduction done 4 days ago and its been something I've been to chicken to do for the past 12 years. After 3 kids my breasts had gone from a D to G/H. I am now a full D. I cried after the surgery because I couldn't believe the relief I felt immediately. Don't be afraid. I couldn't sleep the entire night before the surgery. I am now thanking myself for going through with it. My family was also very supportive. I can now have normal breasts and not worry about the uncomfortable feeling of men gawking at them. Hope you do go through with it. If you have any questions please let me know! Good luck!!

Thank you ! I have been freaking out but there is no doubt in my mind that I want to surgery. I'm just scared :( congratulations on your surgery !! I hope you have a smooth recovery and keep us updated on your progress.
I cannot wait for mine, I know it's a couple of months away but I'm already so nervous.

When I saw your pictures I thought, finally someone with boobs just like mine! I'm scared to death and my surgery is October too.

Oh what date?
I'm scared too but reading how happy girls are afterwards has made me more excited than scared :)

Additionally, wouldn't your insurance approve?

No health insurance in Australia covers breast reduction. It's not seen as medically neccassary anymore I was told, Medicare rebates $1000 after the surgery is done.
It's pathetic and angers me so much that someone can pay $6000 to get implants and I have to pay double because I'm in pain!
Sorry for ranting but I'm really angry about it all, the price it the reason I've waited this long. Thanks for your comment

Here are the photos that Dr Jane Paterson took at our initial consultation, where she indicated my problem areas and explained why I was having so much back pain. She also pointed out that at 23 my boobs almost reach my elbows.

Im sure you'll be thrilled with your outcome. A friend of mine had hers done here in Sydney a few years ago and it made such a huge difference. Congratulations on making this decision and best of luck for your surgery in Oct.
