I had large saggy breasts (38G) which were causing shoulder and neck pain. My insurance covered the procedure, so they dictated how much needed to be removed in order for the procedure to be covered. I'm 5'3 and 175lbs. I've had large breast my entire life. I figured a D cup would be proportionate for my body. I wish I could have somehow visualized what a D cup would look like on my body prior to surgery. Now I feel like my stomach is huge and I don't fill in my shirts at all. I'm hoping that my brain will come to terms with this change in my body because what's done is done. I love the way my breasts look without a shirt on, but I can't go through life topless. I'm now considering a tummy tuck so that maybe my breasts will appear larger. I'm very conflicted about my decision and I'm now wishing I would have just left my insurance out of the equation and paid for a reduction to a 38DD.

It's a lot easier to add a little bit in clothing than to take it away. Most women don't have a lot of projection after a reduction, because the remaining tissue has to spread across the width of the breast root. You may just have to experiment with different types of bras to get the projection you desire. A lot of the bras these days have molded foam cups and a bit of a bump pad in the bottom of the cup. Look for something called "light lift". Personally I prefer the less projected look probably as I was always so accustomed to wearing minimizer bras! But I know what you mean about feeling like your stomach looks big. I hear that from so many of the women on here, it's hard not to feel that way once the boobs aren't covering everything else up. Also, please no offense intended, but it might help to work on your core strength and posture? Maybe it's just the way you're standing in the photo but it looks like your torso could be straighter. I was trained in structural bodywork and am used to analyzing posture and gait, so again no offense, just an observation!

No offense taken. I’ve been doing Pilates to help with core strength and posture. It’s been a year now since the breast reduction and they have settled so that helps a little. I think I still would have preferred them a little larger than they are now, but I’m so much happier with them now than before the reduction. Now I have to address the keloids with a dermatologist.
