WORTH IT$4,300
It's been over a year a six months since I had my reduction and I still have no regrets. I sometimes wish that they were smaller, but then I look at my before pictures and I'm happy with them.
I was worried that they might still be too big and would continue to hold me back from being active. I easily proved that wrong this summer when I went tree planting. This was real tree planting.. carrying the trees in bags on your hips, bending over 1000+ times a day, and constantly on your feet. I thought for sure my back would cause me major problems like it had in the past, but it didn't!! I was so happy. That was enough to prove to me that this was all worth it. I could tree plant and it wasn't backbreaking! Amazing.
The scarring is basically invisible. This summer I was topless at the beach twice with some friends that had no idea I had a reduction and they never mentioned anything. I don't think it was because they were embarrassed to mention anything to me (they are close friends and wouldn't have an issue pointing something like that out), I think it was because it wasn't noticeable.
Sorry it took me so long for an update. This will probably be my last one. Thank you so much to this website and all the people on here that helped me through this. I suffer from anxiety and this website saved me those nights before the surgery where I was waking up panicking about whether or not I was making the right decision. When those nights happened I would open this website and it would be what I needed to calm me.
I have no regrets and would do it over again. I love my new boobs and I am so happy with how much lighter they are. Best decision ever.

4 Months Post Op
Hello Ladies,
I am sorry that I fell off the wagon for a couple months there. I kept myself busy this summer and went through a lot of changes in my life. I decided to leave my job and go back to school. In that process my boyfriend and I broke up, I moved out of the city I lived in and into a new place all by myself. Lots of changes!
My boobs are still holding up nicely and I really enjoyed them at the beach this summer. This was the first summer where I felt really comfortable with myself in a bikini because my boobs weren't taking over.
I have scar treatment tape that I SHOULD be using, but I am so lazy and always keep forgetting. I need to get back on track with that. Anyway, the scarring you see on me now is mostly natural healing. I used the scar treatment tape in the beginning for a month or so.
I am so so happy with my boobs! SO HAPPY! They look awesome and I feel like they are the right size and shape. I have no back pain anymore. When I do get the odd pain in my back it never lasts as long and is usually because I haven't learned to stop slouching. The real test will be this winter when I start playing hockey again. I wasn't able to play last year because of the back pain I was experiencing and I really hope I don't have any this season.
To note, I do still have a bit of a lump when I feel my breast just behind one of my scars. I have been massaging it, but it's not going away quickly. I also have a tiny white bump under my right nipple that isn't going away either. Not sure if its puss underneath or something?

Hey! I was wondering about you! You look fabulous! I am just a couple of weeks behind you, if you remember. I haven't used the scar tape once yet. Same reason, just lazy about it. I am so used to seeing my scars now, that it actually just seems natural. So, it sounds like you've gone through more than one major change this summer. I wish you the best on your new journey! :)

yes! of course i remember you. Thanks for that. it was definitely a hard summer. any updates on how you're doing?

My healing has gone well, although "I" definitely notice that my left side is larger than my right side. This may have actually been the case before my surgery but I didn't stare at my breasts in the mirror like I do now! Lol! Anyhow, about 1 month ago I decided to go out and look for new bras in an actual store (opposed to online from specialty shops) and boy was I disappointed! I decided to try on DD's as I haven't been properly measured since my surgery. First thing I noticed is that I now have no idea what size I actually am and that I am still totally hung up on "numbers and letters". Alas, I left the store empty handed and haven't looked since. But, a good friend of mine recommended I go to Addition Elle for a proper fitting and great selection of bras. I figure I am now an E or F. Considering I was a J before, I can't really complain....Apparently this process can take more than 1 year to see actual "final" results, I am anticipating that the "C" I have dreamt of being will appear one day! Lol! I go see my surgeon next week and I am going to ask him about my left side being "slightly" larger...is it still swollen and such and about the areola on that side as it isn't the shape I desired. I do think I am being extremely picky with it as it isn't terrible but I don't know if it will still change or not. I've had some slight pain in the nipple and areolas lately so I don't know if this is just from healing or something else, so that will be another thing for me to ask my surgeon. Did you experience anything similar to this?
Overall, this surgery has been such a positive experience for me, wouldn't change it for anything! I am sure you feel the same! I do hope that you are moving on well, lots of changes for you, I imagine you've been stressed. Hope you are taking care of you! Most important! :)

Hey there - you look fantastic. I had a little white bump over my right nipple that turned out to be a tiny bit of pus.

2 MONTHS POST-OP with pictures! -Mississauga, Ontario
I am officially 2 months post op and I am enjoying my new boobs. Sometimes I feel like it's hard to notice the difference in my new size. I guess I knew they were going to drop back down, but it feels more than I expected. I can still run and exercise well, I don't have any back pain, but I guess I wanted to be smaller. I am so jealous of those athletic girls with tiny boobs that must never get in the way! I think I was somewhat hoping for them to be that small. Hopefully my continued exercising will help bring the size down more.
Anyway, to the stuff that matters!
I am feeling great. No pain, no nothing. I don't even feel like I had the surgery! Some women say they get random sharp pains and I have only had about a handful of those and they aren't severe. They're more like a reminder. My left is bigger than my right, but I don't find it noticeable until I take pictures like these! I have bought a bunch of new bras and they are all the exact same size that I was wearing before my surgery....so that was a little concerning. I was obviously wearing something that was way too tiny for me, but I was hoping to never see that damn DD again!
Overall, I'm very happy. Do I wish I were even smaller? Yes.
