WORTH IT

I have always had really large breast. Most of my family does. I am doing this for me. I am doing this because I want my neck and back to feel less pain and stress, because I want to feel less self conscious about my breasts. I am doing this to be able to be more active without pain or discomfort . I am doing this to hopefully fit into clothing better. Also It would be really nice to be able to buy a bra without ARMOR in it. I would like to be able to buy a nice pretty bra for $15-25.00. Right now I spend $46-70.00 per bra. It never seems to matter how big or small I am I always have huge boobies. Even when my rib size was 36 inches I wore a size "F-G" . I am activley loosing weight before the surgery which is not easy by any means but I am doing it. I would like to loose 15-20 more pounds before my surgery. Easier said than done but well worth the effort. I have all summer off work so I plan on relaxing and recovering.

I give Dr. Geter FIVE STARS !!!!!!!!!!.. Dr.Geter is a Fantastic PS. He took time to anwser every question my husband and I had about breast reduction. Dr. Geter was very realistic with possible outcomes and very informative with possible side affects. He even told us about the post-op emoyional side that goes with breast reduction. Dr. Geter was very warm and happy and professional. His staff is wonderful too. We arrived at the surgery center at 6am and every person we saw working there was wide eyed and happy to see us. Every one was working like a beautifuly directed orchestra. Just one happy helpful face after another. The surgery support staff did thier job in what seemed like minutes, yet at the same time they made us feel like they had all the time in the world for us. They were the nices crew I had ever met. I appreciated that even though it was a Friday everyone was really there and not dreaming about the weekend. I really recoment Dr. Geter and his staff. Dr.Geter is really a wonderful plastic surgen. I am now pain free with a better self image. Dr. Geter really had his work cut out with me. I wore a size "H' cup bra and he told me after surgery I would be a "D" and his words came true. I like that the most of all. He is extreamly reliable.

Looks like you have healed really well. Your scars are barely visible. Good for you! :) May I ask what size you are now? I'm a 42ddd and my PS says he can only get mine to a D safely. I'm wondering if that makes any sense.

Well just after surgery and for about 5 months I was a full "b" cup until my skin relaxed. Then at about one year I was a full "c". Now 3 years almost out and one pregnancy later I am a " d". My breasts grew a complete size with pregnancy. To be honest I would do it if it was me. It has completely changed my life. I can were anything I want and never feel top heavy or like my boobs are the only thing men see. I no longer feel awkward in clothing. Plus my back and neck have never felt better. I am just a happier more confident me with my smaller bust. Go for it.

My PS planned on taking me from a H to a "d or dd" and after surgery I was a "b-c" there is no size guarantee . they just do the best they can and try to give you a smaller more porportionat bust. I told my p.s. to do what he could and I preferred smaller rather than larger.

Ok, that makes sense. Also, hopefully mine will get smaller if and when I lose weight. Thank you for responding to me.

Thanks for this post. You look very similar to myself and I'm in the process of submitting a claim to my insurance to have mine done. This puts me at ease.

Just found out my Plastic surgen is planning on removing 700mg from one side and 800 from the other. If I am a "H" now I wonder what cup size I will be after.

I mean grams....lol.. I would like for my ending breast size to be a full "D" to a "DD" . I wonder if 700 and 800 will be enough removed to accomplish that.

Welcome to RealSelf, Zing! I had my surgery in August. I was a 34H. I had just under 500gm removed bilaterally and I am a very full DD now. I actually went back a couple of weeks ago and had some lipo done to my breasts to hopefully reduce me down a bit more. I'm still spilling out of my DD on the outside edges, so when I go back in two weeks I'm going to talk to him about doing a bit more. I was hoping to be a C, but I will take just being able to comfortably fit into a D. Good luck with your procedure! This is a great site for info and support!

Thanks, Iowa71.

I am very nervouse right now. I have a BILLION questions running threw my head. I am very concerned about winding up with boobs either to big still or to small. I really think for my size a D or DD would be a good fit. I really would HATE to be a DDD. I am also concerned about anesthesia. I have never been out for 5 hours before. My only other surgery was gal bladder removal, and I can't remember how I was put out. "Twilight " I think. My biggest concern is waking up...lol..

I am busty and I guess I would rather be a little busty than too small. I am just sooo nervouse.

Those anxieties are pretty normal. I was worried about being too small too, but now that I've had it done, I realize I wish I was smaller! However I am happy that I have had it done! Any questions you have feel free to ask. There would have to be someone on here who would have an answer. This site is awesome for that!

Iowa71, Thanks so much. I am taking that you were an "H" and after 500 removed A "DD" as a good sighn for me. I am having 700 (L side) 800(R side) removed. Planned size is "D-DD". I really hope that based on your 500 removal I might be reduced to the size I want. Of course this is only a guess. How come more people do not disclose who thier were / are ?

April 5, 2012

I think it is a good sign too. I think that will put you right where you want to be.
I'm not sure what you mean about people disclosing who they were/are. Are you meaning what size they had been and are now?
The thing I find the most amazing is how easy it is for me to move now. I am running for the first time in my adult life and I can bend and reach with so little effort. I can sit up in bed without having to push myself up with my arms. I had a stiff muscle in my neck/shoulder the other day and it hurt so badly...I can't believe that use to be normal for me! Even if you aren't exactly like you want, I think you will find that you are happy with the effect this has on your life!

Iowa71,

I've read where some don't want to name them in case something doesn't go quite right. They don't want anyone to think that there is a problem with the surgeon.
At the top of the page you can click the tab that says "Find A Doctor" Give that a try to see what you can find.

And I just tried typing my doctor's name into the search bar at the top of the page and it brought him up and reviews that he had been listed in. Give that a try.
