I started to grow breasts the same time most...

I started to grow breasts the same time most teenage girls do. They were always pretty average until I became a freshmen in high school. The first semester of highschool they were normal at a size B-C. I started to take birth control during the second semester of school and my breasts grew tremendously. I was 15 years old with a DDD cup size. I am a very petite person, hardly 5-1, and was very insecure about my body. I am also very active, I like to run and swim and it was causing extreme back pain. I had been to multiple consultations with many different doctors , and Dr. Horndeski won me over with the fact that his methiod did not mess with the nerves that caused sensation in the nipple and my probability to breast feed. Many doctors told me that it was unlikely for me to breast feed and I would probably not have much feeling in my nipple. My parents and I had discussed it for some time, but my dad wasn't completely on board. It took some time to convince him but we finally did and I have never been happier. He is glad we did it because he has never seen me happier. His concerns were letting his daughter go under the knife at such a young age, and the recovery period. It wasn't the best feeling in the world right after the procedure, and the drains they attach are kind of gross, but I am so happy we did it. We scheduled the procedure so I would have plenty of recovery time for school to start up again, and I recommend anyone getting this procedure done to allow yourself at least two weeks for recovery before returning to work or school. I started driving again about a week and 3 days post op, but I wouldn't reccomend driving until two weeks. My doctor was Dr. Horndeski, in Sugarland, Texas. His procedure is a bit different from normal breast reduction procedures but, I prefered the hidden scaring in his method versus lateral scarring in the traditional methods. His method is a bit more pricy, but in my opinion, It is more then worth it. I am currently a size 32C (D in Victoria's secret) and I have never been so happy in my life. Anyone struggling with back pain caused by excess breast tissue or struggling with self esteem about their breast should really invest in this, it's the best thing I have done for myself.

Everyone keep in mind, I may be a teenager but my breasts are done growing. I also stopped taking birth control about one month before my surgery and have yet to begin taking it again. The cost for the procedure was for the Horndeski method, but a traditional breast reduction procedure costs around $9,000.

Good for you. I breat started growing at 12 and never stopped I am in my 39's with large breat I wear and H... I have been looking into Dr. H for years now just really scared I have low threshold for pain and every post says he isn't friendly and some people scars are bad. Could you post photos of your breast only. I know you are young just leave out your face. I also want to know about pain. Thanks for sharing.

The pain isnt bad! I was so scared since i don't have a high tolerence for pain at all.. It wasnt the best thing in the world, but surgery does traumatize your body a little. It was pretty pain free mostly because he wrote us out a perscription for some heavy duity pain relievers. I switched to regular tylenol after 5 days, as the pain was not that bad after the drains were removed. You seem like a very nice person who has done lots of research and hopefully you might change your mind about Dr. H after i tell you that my mother is getting the same procedure done by him as well. She was with me every step of the way and she LOVES the way my breasts look. Will upload pictures soon!!

Make sure you have a support system and somone to help regulate your meds and drains. My mom did that all for me, but a close friend would be idea for most. Also you're going to sleep.. A lot!! So befre the surgery if you live in an appartment or a house with stairs set up some way that you can get to bed without walking to much, you will throw up from nausia if you walk up stairs.
