How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hi everybody, I am a 22 year old woman living in...
Hi everybody, I am a 22 year old woman living in Nova Scotia, and I have 30 HH breasts. I have had them since I was at least 14. I remember being 12 and having these little buds, then after puberty they grew, and grew...and grew. I thought I was a DD for the longest time. I didn't even know how a bra was suppose to truly fit. I'm 5'3'' and 152 pounds. So of course these things look ridiculous on me.
Tonight I went to the doctor, and said I want to have a breast reduction. When I said that, he looked at me, then looked at my chest, and I just felt like the smallest person in the world. It was very embarrassing for me, but I know it has to be done. He weighed me, and said I have lose at least 4-5 pounds. In Nova Scotia, you have to have a BMI of 27 or less, or MSI ( the provinces Universal Health Care) won't cover you, and I am just slightly over the limit. I told him all my symptoms...back ache, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, etc. and he said to lose those few pounds, come back in a month, if I have lost the weight and still have the symptoms, he will write to MSI.
It seemed at first that he may have been trying to discourage me, as he was telling me that there will be scars, and recovery is painful. I've done my homework. I WANT to do this.
So here's hoping! I know I can lose those few pounds. I have been a weight of 120, and my breasts were still the same size.

Almost there!
I am now down to 147 pounds! Going to get down to 144-145 before going back to the doctor. The only person who knows that I want to have this surgery, is my boyfriend. If I am approved, I'm not sure how to tell my parents and friends.
Down to 145.5
Ok, now I am down to 145.5, so I am going to call the doctor's office tomorrow, and schedule to get in next week. I still haven't told my parents, and I don't think I will, at least until I know I am approved or not. I seriously don't know how to tell them, or at least my mom. I know that she will understand, but she;ll be shocked at first. She knows I have big boobs, but not THIS big. My boyfriend's mom knows what I'm planning, and I have no problem talking about it with her. Any tips on how to tell my mother? I live with them too, so they'll ask why i'm going to the doctor. Boyfriend will be going with me, so if I don't tell them, they'll think i'm pregnant or something hahah
