I'm 26 years old and I have had two kids. I'm 145-150 pounds and 5'4". I had a hysterectomy at 22 due to some cancer scares and bleeding problems so I am done having kids. My boobs for some reason keep growing. When I met my husband I was in a 34 C bra. Things were not fitting right. My breasts don't have much projection but they are quite round. This means my back size of my bra has to be small and the cup size needs to be big or my nipples will be out and I will have "quad boob". I got fitted at a 32 dd. That was comfy but I can only get bras from Victoria's Secret in my rural area. If you go to Walmart, sizes stop around D and the back sizes are rarely smaller than a 38. About a year later, I needed bigger bras again. I got fitted at a 32 Ddd and I can only wear certain fits, like a "Demi" cut, or my nipples will be out again. These certain styles of bras aren't sexy, my back hurts, I'm always slumped, my aerolas are too large. I got a tummy tuck last year for loose skin and when people see me, they ask if I got breast implants too. Certain shirts make me look inappropriate, even if they are the same shirt a flat chested girl could wear. Bikini tops barely cover my nipples, and I look like a sports illustrated model. I'd love a small reduction and a lift. My two issues? My husband LOVES my breasts (go figure) and my insurance company won't even cover certain medicines. So I doubt they will cover a surgery. My whole life I have paid for everything cash. My house, my tummy tuck, my cars. That kind of money isn't easy to keep spending and my credit is terrible from old student loans and no credit history (due to paying cash). Any input would be appreciated.

Great comics, very true. As far as paying for surgery, I think most people can get Care Credit, have you looked into that at all? Maybe you could pay part cash and finance the rest? The good news is your breasts look pretty firm still, a reduction of a couple cup sizes even might make a big difference. You should definitely check into your insurance first though, you never know they might cover it, unless they have an outright exclusion in the contract. Good luck :)

I just started considering the reduction so I haven't looked into much. I'd like to see a different doctor than I did for my tummy tuck since I scarred so badly and I called them to fix a dog ear and they never returned my calls about rescheduling the appointment. I should check with insurance but I get so frustrated. My husband and I pay 500 a month plus we have huge deductibles. They wouldn't cover a medicine for me for headaches and weight gain due to seroquel unless I was "morbidly obese". I hate fighting with insurance and the disappointment I get. But I guess I'll never know until I try!

My husband says women would kill for my body and that it's unhealthy to think I need plastic surgery to fix everything. Sigh.

Ultimately you have to do what is going to make YOU happy. I hear the same thing from my small busted friends, but they don't know what it's like to try to run or fit into shirts!
