WORTH IT
Hey everyone!! So I've been on this site a lot lately, trying to decide if a breast reduction is right for me. All the reviews and before & after pictures have been sooo helpful! I've struggled finding pictures of women who have the same petite frame as myself. I'm 5ft and 120 lbs with 32DDD breasts, so I'm all boob lol. I am mostly excited for the cosmetic improvement, I'm so self conscience of my large breasts and dread shopping because NOTHING ever fits right, and I hate being in a bathing suit because everyone just gawks at my chest. I'm also excited to get rid of my back pain and frequent headaches. I would love to be a full C, I think it would be more proportional for me and still feel like I actually have boobs. My first consultation is April 4th with Dr. Paul Berry here in Tulsa. I'll be posting updates as I go :)

Hi there, I am 4' 11" (5' on a good day, haha) and about 123 lbs. I have size 36DDD (roughly) and I am having my consultation appointment in July. Thank you for sharing on behalf of us petite busty women. I too hate wearing swimsuits and have suffered back pain thanks to my large chest. I have always been self conscious about my breasts and generally try to wear clothing that makes them appear smaller. I would like to end up on the smaller breast size post surgery - maybe a B. I am always envious of women who can wear cute little bralettes and tank tops without worry. Best of luck to you!

Thank you! Best of luck to you too :) and I know how you feel. It's hard finding other petite women with the same problem. I just bought some cute bralettes for after surgery and I'm so excited to wear them :)

I totally felt your pain! I'm 5'7" 150 lb and tho I am a happy go lucky person, I was miserable with my 34DD+ (I was popping out of a 34DD bra and wore minimizer bras, but was still too big). I was envious of smaller-breasted women, I couldn't wear cute tops, my back hurt, my bra straps cut into my shoulders (even to the point of bleeding), and I hated my reflection. I am so much happier after having reduction! Only 3.5 weeks out, still swollen but already see the difference and looking forward to more shrinkage! Hallelujah!

It will be the best decision you've ever made. Immediately your shoulders will feel free. As if a huge weight is off them. It will feel like a thousand bee stings (exaggerating) for 24-48 hours around the stitches, but it subsides. Use pain medication. It's amazing to buy your first non-old lady bra without 4 hooks. How about a spaghetti string dress. This is the best decision you'll ever make. Just ensure you are the weight you want to be when you have the operation. That way if you lose some or gain some you are in proportion.

Thank you! That's very encouraging. My weight stays pretty steady, so I don't think that would be a big issue!

You got a wonderful job! I just had mine cut down from popping out of a 34DD down to a 34C, but I am almost 4 weeks out and still pretty swollen. I hope mine continue to shrink!

Killing time on a Saturday, I find myself going over to the lingerie and swim suit section and fantasizing about what pretty bras and bikinis I'll be able to wear once I get my new boobs. Can't wait till the day I can actually buy that pretty lace bra. :)

I am doing the exact same thing online today! My surgery is on Friday and it just so happens to be the middle of the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale and a huge summer blowout on summer dresses at Old Navy. I haven't been able to comfortably fit into Victoria's Secret bras in three years so I can't wait. I was also excited to buy dresses with built in bras or something I'd wear with a bandeau bra, something is is UNHEARD OF for me right now. I can't wait!

Here's my before pictures. Currently I'm wearing a 32DDD but think I may be a little bigger... Can't wait to get nice perky boobies that don't sag like utters :( I hate wearing swim tops because I can feel all eyes on my girls, especially since I dress more conservatively in my day to day wardrobe.
Welcome to the community. You are a tiny tot:) I am about the same height as you but about 15 pounds heavier. I went from a DDD to a full B to small C and love the results.
