It's done!!
Had my operation on 24th July so over a week ago now. All went very well, the operation took three hours and 900 grams has been removed from my breasts. It has been quite painful for me and I have mostly been sleeping as booked two weeks off work to recover. It does get better every day though. Went to see my surgeon yesterday for my first check up and all healing well other than a very red inflamed looking area near the incision on my right boob so on a course of anti bioics. Very happy and definitely feel I have made the right decision. I have also managed to lose nearly a stone over the past two months which is great too. Only thing is sleeping on my back is driving me insane!!!
3 weeks tomorrow
Posting a few pics of my breasts in a tight black top. Yet to brave the topless photos but you can see how big they are compared to my waste in these. Three weeks tomorrow, I am getting more and more nervous every day and its literally all I can think about at the moment.
Finally Doing It - Breast Reduction 24F to 34C
Thought I would start a review/blog of my experience. I am 30 years old with no children, 5 foot 6, a healthy weight/BMI and wear a 34F. I am getting a breast reduction on 24th July to go down to (hopefully) a 34C but I will also accept a 34D. I tried the NHS to no avail so am paying for it out of my own pocket through a loan. I want to do it whilst I am young so I can't wait any longer by saving up so this is the only way for me to finally do it.
I have wanted this since I was 13 so a very long time. I started developing breasts at a very early age, I remember getting changed in P.E in primary school and other children making fun of me saying to get a bra. They developed considerably in my teens, I was a very tiny frame back then (UK size 8) and still am to some extent now (UK size 12 but trying to go back down to a 10). They have always looked massive on my body though - then and now. I think I was in denial for a long time and always wore a bra a few sizes too small with spillages over the top. I believe this is caused them to grow an odd shape too.
I want to do this is because of many reasons. Throughout my teens and twenties I have had hundreds of comments on their size, I have never been able to buy nice underwear or clothes that fit well (size 16 on the top, size 10-12 on the bottom is not easy), I have got grooves in my shoulders and get upper back pain due to both the weight and my posture - if I sit up straight they look gigantic so I am always hunching forwards. They are also a odd shape in that my nipples are more lateral rather than medial (again I blame this on wearing bras too small when they were growing) and I want the shape to be corrected.
I have booked this through a UK company called medbelle who have been brilliant so far and have made everything easy for me. They gave me a list of surgeons in my area and arranged my consultation. I did try to find a surgeon through them last year and had a consultation with a female surgeon but other expenses got in the way so I had to wait a while longer. I went back to medbelle this year but decided I wanted to try another surgeon as the one last year just didn't make me feel very comfortable. Anyway, they gave me a list of surgeons and I picked the first one I saw because he just feels right.
I am so nervous but also very excited at the same time which is so weird :). I keep waking up in the middle of the night in a panic about it for some reason but know this is something I have to do and have wanted to do since I was 13. The main thing I am scared about it the anaesthetic and how I will feel after I wake up? The recovery process scares me a bit too.
Anyway wanted to share this with everyone, I am following quite a few stories on here and any help/guidance is appreciated too. Will share some pictures soon.
Thanks :)
