Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

First bra at 12, steady but not overly much growth...
First bra at 12, steady but not overly much growth after that. Well, except for not stopping! I moved rapidly through D, DD up to DDDD in my early 20s. It's been over a decade since I could buy a bra in a local clothing store. I never wore underwires, after learning more about bra sizing I realized it was because there was never a cup size large enough to let the front middle touch my chest underneath. I've been professionally fitted several times, with no luck. I tried again earlier this year at a local specialty shop and purchased a 38L (have been wearing 40G from Playtex for years). I was excited, but soon realized it was the same problem: too large of a band and too small a cup. So I ordered some bras from Britain (36K, close to US 36N) and those didn't work either.
I gave into my mom's urging, as she had obtained a recommended surgeon from a happy patient, and had a consultation on June 18. I liked the atmosphere and the doctor's manner. She estimated some 700cc could be removed from each breast, if I recall correctly. There's still some lingering questions on insurance, but initially it looks like mine will cover the surgery for medical reasons.
I'm nervous about missing work as I've been pretty busy lately and I'm lower than I'd like to be with paid leave. My employer is great so I'll be able to take whatever time I need ultimately, planning on two full weeks off. I was able to schedule surgery after all summer travel and six weeks before I'm planning on performing music with a band I'm in.
I had not really considered this option before, figured it was my lot in life, but perhaps not!

3 days until surgery
Yesterday I returned from a a business trip and now have only a few days to get everything ready. This mostly stems from my personal need to be prepared so I can feel calm during any changes from regular day-to-day life. Even if it's "just" outpatient surgery, it will be the most I've ever had so far with only wisdom teeth and some LASIK behind me. Insurance will cover half the cost as a "reduced benefit."
My bras are all so stretched out, I would have replace several of them already but for the changes ahead. I have found many reviews on this site helpful so I will try to keep up on updates.

24 hours out
I find everything medical can be so awkward (those hospital gowns am I right?), but the profession is full of caring wonderful people so my surgery experience was quite positive. Mine was first thing in the morning, but that also means it's over with sooner in the day! I got home in the early afternoon and had a nap while watching a history documentary--specifically recorded for that purpose really :) My pain and discomfort has been manageable. My mom is helping me out, staying the night while I slept in a recliner. At times the night felt long but I actually got a good amount of sleep. I'm grateful that I do not react badly to anesthesia so my stomach has been fine, I ate pretty normally yesterday. My surgeon's office had recommended grapes for constipation so I had a bunch of those, plus some bran this morning for breakfast (and it "worked" you might say).
With my long hair that still often acts like an oily teenager I'm REALLY looking forward to a full shower before my post-up appointment on Tuesday. I'm going to give dry shampoo a try in the meantime.
