I've always had big boobs since 8 grade. Just imagine being heavy chested during an already awkward time in life. I loved basketball but running down the court holding my chest caused my love for playing to be a distant memory. I consulted w/surgeon when I was 17(34DDD), my mom consented but fear of surgery I didn't follow through. 19 yrs old I got pregnant had my son, I was terrified that milk production would make them bigger. Working out was so uncomfortable bc of my boobs. I had my 2nd child, I gained weight my boobs were literally on my stomach. I would talk about a reduction but never acted on it. I would shop and feel out of portion bc my top size was larger than bottom. 01/10/2018 I turned 33 and I decided it was bye boobies, I called my insurance company and began my research. 1st consultation was a disaster 02/06/18. So, I scheduled another one with a new doctor Dr.Valiulis :) he was amazing 35 yrs experience. Great bedside manner, he was amazing! Insurance approved-surgery date 04/10/18. :) I was so excited. My dad accompanied me to the hospital at 5am. I was the 1st surgery. All my prayers were sent up and I was ready. I was rolled back for prep. 9am surgery time, all I remember was the surgery lights and breathing into the mask, woke up at 12:15 wrapped up so tight no more 44N...LOL! Everything went great! I had no idea what my boobs looked like and I wouldn't see them for another week. Surgery was 15 yrs 3 months from my 18th birthday. Currently 1 month 1 week post op, it was definitely worth it!

Off the shoulder tops are my favs now. He removed 13lbs. And I've lost a total of 22lbs since surgery. I have 20 more lbs to lose

Thank you! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders "LITERALLY"

Oh. My. Gosh. I can't even imagine how much lighter you feel! I just had a small reduction done (no where near as drastic as yours), and the change was such a difference in the way I felt! I am two months post op and just had my first shopping experience. It was amazing to shop for clothes that actually could fit me (not just tent over me). You look FANTASTIC and your beautiful smile makes me think you have no regrets!
