All I Have Been Waiting for - South Africa, ZA

ORIGINAL POST

I am 21 Years old and having a breast reduction...

Stayweb7
I am 21 Years old and having a breast reduction and lift is all I have ever wanted. I am currently a 36D and I want to reduce my breasts to a B. All is in order for my procedure on monday but the closer this gets the more I am wondering whether or not I am making the right decision. I went for my Pre-Op today and was under the impression that I could get implants (for my breasts to have a very round look) but my doctor has advised me that this is not necessary as I have enough breast tissue. I really need some advice, I want to be sure that I am making the right decision by just getting the lift and reduction even though all I have ever wanted has been perfectly round breasts.

Any advice or words of wisdom would be much appreciated! I am freaking out a bit here...

Thanks for sharing your story. Just to confirm, you're getting a lift, and a reduction, but you want implants to round out the breast?

Yes, exactly that. I want to go from a 36DD to a B. Dr says it is not advisable. Feeling a bit better about my surgery today though, think I just started freaking after my pre- op yesterday.

Don't freak out - be confident in the decision you and your surgeon made. They are the expert. If you are reducing the size of your breast, I would think an implant would be counter productive. It will be a nice, natural look. They will look great! Be confident and look forward!

I advise you to have a reduction stick with your own breast tissue and not a implant., you are fortunate to go smaller,,, most women want to go bigger then implants are the answer, However your decision you have to be happy. Xx
