How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

The final straw
The final straw for me and my boobs was in Bali. The heat and humidity were insane and I was so uncomfortable all the time, due to heat rash and other issues from my bra. Also, one day I was swimming in the pool and one of my boobs completely escaped from my bathing suit top. I wish I could say this was the first time in my life it has happened, but alas it wasn't. This mortifying pics shows how big my chest looks from the side - and how it makes me look very disproportionate.
Lesion removed: step 2 towards breast reduction
As I mentioned in my first posts, my PS wanted to remove a small, curious red bump on my breast to have it tested, before we move forward with breast reduction.
I had the procedure done in her office earlier this week and am now awaiting results.
It was done under local anaesthetic and took less than a half hour. I have a few disolvable stitches under a SteriStrip. Did not hurt much at all, and now I am waiting for results.
At one point the Dr drew on my breasts the placement of my "new" nipple for reference. It looked unbelievably high up!! When she me a mirror to look at the marks, I felt so disassociated from my breasts. They just seemed so freakishly big I could hardly stand to look at them. I guess that is the point when you know you are really and truly ready to get a reduction!
A few days later I went shopping for some new work clothes and a dress for a wedding I am attending in August. As usual nothing fit and I felt frustrated and demoralized. I cannot wait to move forward with my BR!

Weird response from a friend
I haven't told many folks that I am hoping to get a breast reduction. My husband and my best friend know, and they have been supportive. However, I decided to tell another old friend of mine and I was really surprised by her response.
She went on a big tirade about how she has big breasts (I asked and she is a 34C) and that she would never alter her body. She even said her mom told her she should get a breast reduction recently (seriously, wtf?). I tried to gently point out that a 34E (as I measure) or 34G (the bra size I wear) is quite a different matter than having a C cup. Also, that I was not doing it purely for vanity but also because I am in pain most of the time. She still would not let up on it. I don't know what I said that hit a nerve, but it clearly did. She also went on about how when she wore certain tshirts people would stare etc. I was like, er, yes, I am aware... The whole thing was totally bizarre to me. She just seemed determined to bring the whole thing back around to herself.
I know many folks on here have had experiences with unsupportive family/friends. I always found it bizarre that people cared so much what others do to their own body. Now that I have experienced it for myself, I am even more confused.
Oh well, onward & upward. I know now I will just keep my mouth shut about it.

Provider Review
Dr. MacAdam has excellent bed side manner and is clearly very experienced and competent. She made me feel very at ease in my consult for a breast reduction. I would have no reservations using her for a breast reduction and I find her pricing reasonable.
