Hello! I was originally not too preoccupied by my surgery, even though I just set the date last week... But I'm getting more and more excited. I've been wanting surgery since I was 15 years old, and since I was 18 I've started going to plastic surgeons. Unfortunately, my family has been having financial hardships and it was unrealistic to think they could ever afford it; sadly, insurance was also not an option since that's viewed as purely aesthetic by insurance companies in Mexico. I'll be using all my savings and probably some credit, but I'll finally be getting this done.

I'm so excited I've been having some trouble sleeping, and while my family is very excited as well, it's not their procedure and they certainly can't understand why I am unable to stop thinking about it. So I decided I would need some more emotional support, and decided to come here. Hopefully I'll be able to help someone else with my decision and procedure as well. :)

Thank you so much! I'll be posting pictures soon of myself right now. Soon enough, they'll be "before" pictures!
April 18, 2014
That would be wonderful!

Same age and same size...anddd hopefully will be the same size with Bs after our surgery! You have my full support as well! I am just joining this site today, with ten days left until my BR....Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you too! Mine is this Saturday so we'll basically be doing this together, in a way. I'll post some pictures later on today. I haven't done much since I think the part I really need to update is post-op; otherwise it's just me with my same big boobs freaking out about what a big deal this is. So anyway, let's stay in touch! :)

Haha aghh I am calm right now, but I think it's because it hasn't sunk in yet that I'm getting it done. Its been like 4 months since I last saw my plastic surgeon, and she's going to be 8mth pregnant when she does mine....So I am not sure what to be more nervous about...my surgery or her going into early labor lol.... I just can't wait to actually run with only one sports bra in a few months haha

...I'm an idiot, totally replied on my own....lol refer to the comment above yours :/ oops!
May 20, 2014
Actually I see it as a reply to mine :) my new review however, was not posted as gracefully as I'd hoped, lol!
May 20, 2014
no, its a great review! I can't seem to get mine to even post...it said it would take up to one business day...but nada. Haha oh well, until then, I am literally spending so much time reading other people's posts like crazy. I even thought to watch the procedure, which btw i am terrified and grossed out by blood, but have watched it online so many times that I feel so great about it. The only real concern I now have is the girls growing back after lol...I'm only doing this once!
May 20, 2014
Don't worry, they won't grow again unless you have children and then it's only minimal. I actually am reconciled with that fact and it's not going to happen for me in 8-10 more years, so it's not worth waiting so long. I'll get a touch-up in a decade and it will be fine :)
May 20, 2014
Very true....I'm definitely with you there!! 4 more days though for you right? Did they give you the soap bar to wash with the night before and the day of too?
May 20, 2014
Nope, my pre-op visit is actually the day before the actual surgery! They went over the basics in the initial visit, but everything else will be covered the day before. Which is a teensy bit nerve-racking.

Well as promised, here are my pictures. Terrible, I know, but well, that's what we're fixing! My major worry right now is that I've been thinking... I used to be a decent size C-D and I still wanted breast reduction. I know that there's a physiological limit as to how much the surgeon can remove while preserving function, but will it really be small enough for me?

Looking at the pictures, I feel terrible. Not because my breasts are awkward, lopsided, droopy, and have pale, stretched out areolas that you can barely even tell are there... But because of the way this has affected my body. I used to be a not thin, not fat size 6. But ever since they began growing out of control about 2-3 years ago, they have made me feel physically incapable of doing any kind of physical activity. I am beyond couch-potato sedentary; I work at home, and my longest walk every day is to the kitchen, or outdoors to see my pets (only like, 5 steps further).

I can't let myself run. When I run it is because I am in a SERIOUS hurry, and I have to hold my breasts with my hand! Yoga is my workout of choice, but my breasts are either too exposed during things like downward dog, or compressing my breathing to the point of choking during halasana. What I am most looking forward to is being able to run, to jump, or bend or just plain move without feeling like my body is too awkward to be doing that. I want to feel FREE! :)

you will benefit but you are right to be realistic about what size the PS can make you, a B cup is very rare indeed. most people are c or d which is a normal, attractive size. i am a dd but it is a massive improvement on a G - read my review

You will do great and you will feel great. Will be thinking of you!

Your breasts are gorgeous. Honestly, my l spouse talked me out of mine and I'm glad. Love yourself. You're beautiful.
