Breast reduction when I was 20 - now I’m 29!

Hello! So happy to have found this place! And I'd just like to apologize in advance for my English, it's not my native language but I hope you'll understand me, haha.

I'm an 18 year old, 180 cm (5'11") girl and have been considering a breast reduction for about 1-2 years now. It was this summer that I felt that I really wanted to look it up so I booked an appointment with a plastic surgeon and he said he definitely could do one, I was measured with cups and stuff and he came to the conclusion that I fulfilled the national requirements to get it fincanced by the county.

The plastic surgeon seems very calm and methodical and he explained everything. I actually chose this ps myself because a friend in my age recently had him do her BR! He is definitely qualified and the clinic is a part of a larger hospital which makes me feel calm as well. So, after the first appointment I got some time to think about what I wanted to do and when. I booked another appointment which took place this September I think, and we talked a little more about the procedure and so on. My mom was with me both times and is very supportive with this. I felt very sure and we set a date for my appointment two weeks before the operation and also the actual operation! So, my operation is the 19th of February 2014.

The problem is that I'm such a maniac when it comes to risks. I google everything and I've been looking on this page of women saying it wasn't worth it, and what terrifyes me the most are the ones who have needed to get skin graft or the ones whos tissue and fat has started dripping through the seams... I couldn't "resist" watching those images and it scared the sh*t out of me to be honest...

My ps told me everything about the more common risks like scarring (which is rather a fact than a risk, right), loss of sensory, breast feeding problems and so on. He also asked me what size I wanted to be and I was like "as small as possible" and he told me he could not go as small as I probably want to, because that doesn't work with the glands and all. I'm now a 70G which is about a 32DDD/E in US size. He said I could expect a C, which I'm definitely okay with.

My issue right now are these:
1. I'm quite young and I believe that my breasts are still actually growing. I feel like it'd be better to wait but at the same time I hate walking around with these big boobs, feeling bigger than I am, having unwanted attention for my breasts and worst of all the unbearable back pain! I work in retail/restaurant so I seriously feel like dying after every shift.
2. Is it worth the risk? I don't want the scars to break open and my boobs and flesh dripping out of my skin... I'm freaking out about this. I can definitely handle the smaller risks but this... no.

I just really need some honest advice on this operation! I can reschedule and cancel it for free so there is no problem with that.

Thank you!

It sure was a while ago since I updated here. Basically, I got cold feet and didn't do my reduction the other time, but I now feel more ready than ever and just want to proceed. I have my OP appointed on the 26th of January 2016! My main concern at that time will be missing a lot of uni, but I'll try to make it work.

Fun thing is that my boobs have grown quite a lot since my first consultation. At that time, I was very scared of them growing bigger again once I had the OP done. So I guess that's a positive thing with waiting for something good...

I can't believe how fast it's approaching! My op is scheduled the 26th of January, 7AM. I just met my surgeon the other day and was instructed what to do before and after surgery, such as not drinking or eating anything before and changing tape every week. I'm super excited but also quite nervous as I am just beginning the toughest course of my programme and don't want to miss too much or else I'll have to start all over. But I'm hoping to be fine!

I'm adding some better before photos taken today (6 days pre-op). I can't believe how big they've got... A weird thing is that I actually really like my boobs, despite how much I hate them haha. I think they have a nice shape and they look good when I'm naked (and standing up straight, lol). However, I usually wear clothes haha, and that's when things start to get tricky. I love them but I hate not fitting in clothes, not being able to shop my size (which would be S/M), not being able to shop bras in normal stores and instead having to buy bras in stores for old ladies which also cost a fortune, I hate hate hate the back pain. I'm reaaaddyyy to do this!
