How long should you wait to conceive after breast reduction? I am in the process of preparing for a breast reduction and I was wondering if anyone knows how long you should wait after a breast reduction to get pregnant? My husband and I already have a 2.5 yr old and we are planning to ttc in the near future. He's in the military so the soonest opportunity we would have would be December and then not again until August/September 2008. I haven't had a chance to speak with my surgeon about this concern yet, so I was hoping someone here has experienced this. Assuming things go as planned, we would conceive appr. 8-10 weeks post-op. Is that too soon? Because I've had back problems for several years now which are exacerbated when I am pregnant. Also, I had problems after the birth of my son do to excess milk production (too much glandular tissue). I almost lost my left breast due to mastitis. The question at hand is not whether I should have a reduction or not. I'm having it. I just want to know if it's okay to ttc in December, or should I wait until next year. We wanted our children born close together but due to deployment with the military and a miscarriage, it hasn't happened so far. If I get pregnant in December, our son will be 3 by the time the next baby is born. If we wait until next year to ttc, he will be 4. Anyway, my point is, is it too physically early to ttc 8-10 weeks post-reduction?

So please tell me would my doctor acknowledge this problem or do you think he will just say "thers nothing wrong, just lose some weight"? Or what do i need to say to persuade him to recommend a surgery for me? If he denies me, should i threaten to file a lawsuit to scare him?

What age is old enough for a breast reduction? I have a 15 yr old daughter who is already wearing a size 36G bra. We have to have her fitted at a very pricey store where her bras are close to 125.00 each, even more expensive than that when it comes to the sports bras. She is a very active teenager...she swing dances, is in weightlifting class, etc...but her breasts are just too much for her to handle. She has a hard time running, they just get in the way, and of course, I have 30 yr old men hitting on her because with breasts like her's, there's no way she's only 15. So, I guess I'm curious as to how old is the typical female when their breasts stop growing...and if a breast reduction is done at her age, and if she's not done growing, with she continue to grow after the reduction and then defeat the purpose of having it done to begin with? This is definitely an issue right now. She will no longer be in weightlifting class after May 15, and I'm positive that class is the only thing preventing back problems. Let me rephrase a portion of that...I don't have 30 yr old men hit on her, I have to DEAL with adult men who view her as being much older than she is. According to the height/weight charts, and the BMI caculator, she is about 10 pounds overweight. But I couldn't see her losing ANY weight anywhere other than her breasts...she's extremely active and a healthy eater...can't pinch an inch on her.

For those of you who don't know the procedure: Doctors sometimes remove and reattach the nipples. They don't stay removed forever. Just thought I would clarify that for those who have never heard of the procedure.

How is that fat women can get their insurance company to pay for a breast reduction but a smaller woman can't? I wear a 38DD, stand 5'1/2" and was denied by my insurance company to have a breast reduction. I've been attending physical therapy and have to take muscle relaxers on a regular basis because of the cramps around my shoulders and neck. I know of a few fat ladies who have had breast reductions simply because they are overweight and lazy. I WANT to exercise like running, jumping etc. but I can't because of the size of my breasts and because it causes me to have backs spasms. The surgery would keep me from going to physical therapy and keep me off of the muscle relaxers. Seems like it would benefit the insurance company for me to have the surgery.

What are the details behind a breast reduction surgery? I'm seventeen, but as soon as i started puberty when I was eleven I magically went from flat to a C cup within a handful of months. Now i'm a double D, and I'm petite. I'm a bit overweight right now and people tend to go "oh those will go down once you lose weight" but i've lost weight before, as much as 40 lbs at once, and they never go down. i'm losing weight right now, but i doubt it'll help any. I have back pain daily and they are such a hassle with everything. I'm not ashamed of having large breasts but I'm not the type of girl who wants them so big lol. Like I said, i'm petite, and its just difficult. So what I have been considering for a long time now is a reduction surgery. I've never been under the knife before, and although it doesn't frighten me it's still an experience that needs a lot of consideration. Has anyone had it? I would like to go down to a small D/ full C. When they operate do you sort of get a breast lift at the same time? Thanks!

Breast Reduction? I am 19 years old. I have rather large breasts. Since puberty, I have had large breasts. I am a 36DD/DDD, depending on the bra. For as long as I have had these large breasts, I have had back pain and discomfort. I have been thinking a lot over the past years about getting breast reduction. I have a lot of questions to ask, but I don't have health insurance at the present moment to ask a doctor. Can you help answer some of these questions? Although I have some general back pain, I have a specific spot on my left shoulder blade that hurts when I stand or do a lot of upper body exercise. It has the classic symptoms of a herniated disc, except that I have had it for as long as I can remember, which uncharacteristic of a herniated disc. How possible is it that it is a herniated disc, And that my breasts caused it? If I get it removed, will it lessen my chances of having my reduction being paid by insurance, as it is my main back problem? One of my breasts is significantly larger than the other. This is the breast I would like reduced, as I am satisfied with the size of the other one. Would a doctor/the insurance allow this? Am I right in assuming that if one is reduced and lifted, they would lift the non-reduced one as to create symmetry between the two? I would like to breast feed my future children. Nowadays, how common is it for a woman to be incapable if breastfeeding after surgery? Is there a certain procedure that allows for breastfeeding more than others? I plan to have insurance in the next 90 days when my father is able to receive it from his new job. It would be ideal for me to receive the breast reduction during this summer. How possible is that? Does planning a breast reduction procedure take a lot of time? Thank you for taking the time to hear my questions and concerns. Anything you can answer or inform me about is very much appreciated.

I don't smoke, do drugs and I drink very occasionally. I live in New Zealand and it's quite hard to find bras that fit me (unless they're maternity bras, which I refuse to wear!). I can't buy online because I don't have a credit card (and my Mum won't let me use hers). I have a back and neck injury and I'm quite often in pain. My breasts obviously don't help this. I spoke to my Mum about it today and she said that next time I go to the doctor I should talk about getting a breast reduction and she would pay for some of it. I would be happy if I was a C cup. Would I be too young to get a breast reduction? And does insurance cover this surgery? Is it effective? Please, serious answers only. This is making me depressed and I don't care if 'guys will go crazy over them' or whatever. I just want them gone.

Breast Reduction? Hi. I have a question to all the women who had breast reductions. I did alot of reading on the net and alot of things worry me. First off, I am 100% sure I need a reduction. I wear a 40F. My main concern is what I read about breasts being so large that the surgeon has to remove your areola which causes loss of feeling and inability to breast feed. How common is this? I know every woman is different but I would really appreciate hearing about it from women who actually went through it and how well did it go. Thank ya'll!

Breast reduction? Has anyone had a breast reduction? How did it go? Did you get good results? Was there a lot of scarring? I am a 6'2 tall girl with 36 E breasts and I have excruciating pain in my neck. My back also hurts but not as much as my neck. So I would like to get my breasts reduced to a cup size C. Also, I am an athlete (basketball) and smaller breasts would definitely make running easier. What risks are involved? What will happen when I decide to have kids? Will they get as big again as they are now? Thanks I know I could ask a doctor, but I wanted to get some insight from women who have gone through this experience and have no reason to talk me into or out of anything

Breast Reduction? Hey everybody, I have a serious question.... When I was little i remember developing breasts faster than all my other friends, I wasn't overweight or anything i just had bigger breasts. Now that I'm older (17) they continue to grow, I know this because my shirts don't fit me anymore, they're not long enough because, I'm still not overweight and i'm quite short (5 2") and I feel that my breasts are not proportionate to my body. They have always caused discomfort, I'm a 36D. I was thinking of getting a breast reduction when I turn 18... I just want to be comfortable. Do you think I'm being reasonable?

Breast reduction? I was thinking of getting a breast reduction.I have broad shoulders and was wondering if I got a breast reduction they would appear not as broad.

breast reduction? okay i am 16 and i have known many girls to get breast reductions and i have a 46 dd and i wanted to know was it normal was for someone my age to want a breast reduction and many people tell me that a 46 dd is not big

Breast reduction? * View HP's Profile * HP * Member since: July 11, 2007 * Total points: 95 (Level 1) * Points earned this week: * --% Best answer * HP S Breast reduction? I just had a breast reduction a few months ago and my doc tells me that some pain at this point is normal, but I was just wondering what some peoples experiences were who had this. I feel that I should not be having this kind of pain this far after surgery. Please, no wiseguy cracks. No, no swelling beyond very slight, pain seems to be general and not too specific. Sometimes it is a sharp stabby pain that goes away after a minute, other times it is a dull ache that won't quit. I went from a 36EE to a solid D.

Breast Reduction..? Hi.. I really wanna get a breast reduction, I'm 21,34 waist, DD cup size, I've really been selfconciouse about my breasts since God knows when! & Ofcourse, we all know too much weight can never be friends with gravity!! My question is, do I need to wear something medical, like a medical bra r'something after I come out of surgery? & can I take it off whenever I want?? Also, how long should I keep it on? like , how many weeks? And, are there any risks? I mean, is this surgery dangerouse?? Because I don't wanna add anything like "fake boob bubbles" r'anything, I want a good reasonable reduction & some lift. If you know anything about this, please share, I'd really appriciate it bcoz I'm v.worried. Thnx alot :)

Breast reduction? I am 15 years old (female), 4'11"- stopped growing at the age of 13, and typically 110-115 pounds. I have DD's! and my boobs keep growing. I have a well recommended plastic surgeon for my breast reduction. My question is...how long does it usually take to set up a breast reduction surgery? I am going to call to set up an appt. on Monday August 27, 2007...approximately how many more months will it be until I have my actual B.R.?

Breast Reduction? Last year I had a breast reduction, I went from a 44DD to a large C or small D, depending on the brand of bra I buy (very happy with the results). But a year later I'm experiencing hardness/heaviness of the breast and wanted to know is there anything that can be done other than massaging? If you have had a reduction or know of any methods to relieve this feeling. I've gone online, but nothing really speaks of this issue.

Breast reduction? I'm 30 years old and I wear a 40DD bra. I really don't think that is my true size, but it does fit ok. I'm not a big person. I wear 11/12 in pants, size 5/6 in underwear, so my breasts are really too big for the rest of my body. I get the rashes underneath, the shoulder scars and the back pain, etc. I have been considering breast reduction surgery for years now. Large breast run in my family. My sister has had the surgery. I would like to hear of any personal experiences, good, bad and ugly. I just wanted to say thanks so much for all of the wonderful answers and links. I'm going to call my insurance company and look into it!

breast reduction? well im 18 now and im looking into breast reduction surgery because my breasts are too large for my body and not only am i extremely uncmfortable and embarressed (since all threw high school i was the girl with the big boobs) and for like 2years i have been experiancing some EXTERME back and neck pain. But i get extremely nervous in the doctors office and i cry, although i would go threw a breat exam i just dont know what expect and i know if i want to go threw with surgery i need to comfortable talking about and showing my breasts to doctors but im not, can anyone tell me what to expect in an exam. And i know it sounds like im not ready since im still emotional, but i am, i tired of looking and feeling this way and i just want some confidence and get this off my mind, any help?

breast reduction? I'm 43 and my breasts are very large. I'm overweight. Would breast reduction be a good idea at my age? i think I'm overweight because of my breasts, kind of hiding...

Breast reduction? Abput what age do your breasts stop growing? Im 17 and want to get a breast reduction. I'm 5'2" with DDD-E sized breasts. I don't know what to do. Can anyone offer advice on what to do? And if you've had it done tell me what to expect.

breast reduction? I'm getting a breast reduction from a 36DD to a 36B so i am super happy i should be getting it done in like a week but i also want to try out for flag. How should i talk to the coach about being on the team even though i can't try out because my friend got one and she's trying out but she got hers done three weeks ago and this other girl broke a couple bones in her foot and the coach is letting try out....... but do you think it would be okay because try outs aren't onto april i'm 16 going 17 in July

Breast Reduction? What are the risks of a breast reduction? Is there a possibility of death?

Breast Reduction? I am just wondering for anyone who has had a reduction how long did it take before you could carry heavy things again? I am having a Breast Reduction soon but I have just gotten into University and some of my books are so heavy that I'm worried I would not be able to carry them, even with a school bag after my surgery. What sort of things could you lift within a week of your operation? Also to anyone who has had one do you think that I would be able to go back to Uni after only 1 week? And how long were you not driving your car for? Thankyou to everyone who answers I am having them reduced from a 34G to a 34D to DD. I am not worried about the scarring- it will only be boyfriends who will see them and besides they are being done for medical reasons ( my spine is becomming curved as it is physically impossible for me to stand up straight, it hurts too much) They weigh 3 kilograms each breast and I am only 5'3" so nothing could ever make me change my decision If you are thinking of trying to discourage me then please do not bother answering, thankyou. Thankyou low_on_ram , but I live in Australia so if I wait until university holidays it will be another 10 months until I could have it done, I also work 2 jobs so my holidays are used for nursing placements and working both jobs. But thankyou for your suggestion :) Thankyou for telling me that your scars are not that bad. I am having the Le Jour technique, so the insicion is only around the nipple and vertically down the breast, there is not cut made underneath the breast. (and I am a Beauty Therapist so one the incisions have healed I will be giving myself a lot of "breast" scar removal facials so that should help a lot.)

Breast reduction? I have been wanting a breast reduction for years now . Im 24 years old, 5ft, 9.5 stone and have 34 GG bust. I would love to drop down to a DD cup. I have been told the scaring would be horriific - has anyone on here had a reduction of 5 or more cup sizes? If so - is the proceedure and scarring horrific?

Breast Reduction? I have been thinking a lot recently of getting a breast reduction. They are very heavy and get in the way of many things, such as swimsuits, dresses, dress shirts, etc. I am a 36DD and was wondering if that is not big enough to get a reduction or if I would be eligible? Also, what would my chances of being able to breastfeed in the future be? Thanks! Everybody is so helpful so far... I'm starting to change my mind since they do not hurt me as much as they do other women. I'd rather live with them than scars!

Breast Reduction? I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada and I am looking into getting a breast reduction as my breasts really hurt my back, does anyone know if it would be covered or would I have to pay. I heard it would be covered since it is to reduce problems. I want to go to at least a C, as I am currently a DDD (or bigger). I don't need to hear it might hurt I can already imagine it won't be all fun and games. Thanks! :) From my breasts being big I have a bump on my back between my shoulders. Joe cup sized to go larger than just doubles, and yes they do go up to DDD and bigger a little hard to find but they do! Believe me I know my bra says DDD!!!!

breast reduction? im thinking of having a breast reduction but want to know if you can stillbreast feed afterwards. I heard you cant, and if i have children in the future i would want to breast feed them as its better for them. Does anyone know about this

breast reduction? I am 20 years old and recently have been considering breast reduction. Right now I am a 38 I and I constantly have back, neck, and shoulder pain. I've never had ANY type of surgery and it would be really scary to go through with it. Some of the questions I have are: how do i get started with the insurance (I have Humana PPO)? Is it very Painful? What are the different procedures? Can you breast feed afterwards? I live in Texas in the San Antonio area, can anyone refer me to a good doctor that is board certified? Im willing to travel, maybe say as far as Houston.

Breast Reduction? I am looking for information on breast reduction. I currently have a 34DD. This has caused deep grooves in my shoulders from my bra straps, back and neck aches, discoloration of the skin where my bra hold my chest up. Not to mention the fact that no matter what type of shirt I wear, my breasts make my entire upper body look larger. I'm slightly petite at a size 4, and they dont fit with the rest my body. I was looking online and found two options: A) Surgery B) A hormone Pill Can someone help me with ideas on cost? risks? procedures? doctors in FL or NY? Also, any personal experience would help.

?Breast Reduction? I have a breast size of 38 DD and I want to get a breast reduction, but my friends say I don't need it, I look really good with them... what should I do?? thanks!

Breast Reduction?? How much should a spouse or significant other be considered when thinking of having a breast reduction? I'm with a wonderful man who is very giving and would never tell me he doesn't want me to do it, but I also know he LOVES my figure, and my breasts play a large part in our sex life. I'm in my late 30's and have been busty all my life (40DDD), but I'm also not huge all over and would like to be more proportioned. I'm not considering it due to back pain or anything like that (then there would be no question), because I've always taken good care of myself (I wear only the best support bras). My dilemma is strictly cosmetic..I'd love to wear things smaller ladies can wear. And besides, I'd love, just once, to be looked in the eyes the first time someone meets me!!

breast reduction? hey.im still 14, yeah "you shouldnt even be thinking that" ect. but im thinking that in a couple of years i want to get a breast reduction. i have 8F breasts(aussie sizing) and size 6-8 waist (aussie sizing)and im well really skinny and i still have 4 more years of boob growing. its not that they dont suit me, because well, they look great on me. but they get anoying. i cant wear tops or dresses that fit properly because my boobs are too big for my waist so i have to go the next size up. i cant wear low cut tops without guys drowling all over them, and its all people ever look at. its never my face (ive been told im very attractive) or my personality. thats why i want to get them reducted. BUT i dont want them to look really fake. im thinking of going to about a C. what do you think? i would like advice of anyone who knows about this topic whether they have gotten them done, or know someone who has.did they turn out looking like"ballons"or did they come out looking good? thanks.x

Breast Reduction? I have D cup breasts. I want to be as flat chested as possible. I want Garth Fisher from Extreme Makeover to do my Breast Reduction. How much do you think he will charge? garthfisher.com

Breast reduction? After I had my son, my bust doubled in size. I swear they are killing my back, and it's hard to find shirts that fit in the bust without being big everywhere else. I'm only 5ft 3, 115 pds, and they really look way too big for my body. Here's the problem, my husband loves them....lol And I mean lovesssss them. I told him I'd like a breast reduction and he laughed and said that was crazy. I also hate the way ppl stare at me (my breasts) I have even had ppl ask if they are real and ask if they can touch them! I mean come on, I honestly don't know why any woman would get implants!

Breast Reduction??? I was wanting to check into breast reduction because my breast are to large and are making my back and spine hurt...and they are causing a hump to form on my back...they are to much for me but i was wondering if i should do that...and if it is painful and how long it will take u to recover from it??? wondering if anyone knew the answer to my question from personal expierence???

Breast Reduction.? Im 16 and I thinking of getting a breast reduction. Im terrified to be honest.. But I dont think its safe for a young person to have a big chest they cant handle. Ive been chesty since I was little and my back is already starting to kill and Im having a hard time breathing. Ive been made fun of when I was in elementary for being 'too mature'. Im not fat. Like its not because of my weight. Its been there ever since puberty. Its genetic. Should I consider it? Should I wait? Are there any important things I should know before going under the knife? Or whatever it is they use. Lmaoo I get unwanted attention =[. And it sucks bad to shop with my friends because theyre flat. I dont think I will change my mind though.

Breast reduction? I have kasier permenente insurance and I am currently a 42DDD and I am only 19 years old.

Breast reduction? I'm 19 and want a breast reduction more than anything. How much would that cost, what are the drawbacks and negative points, and is there any way to get the insurance company to pay for it?

Breast reduction? I am 19 years old with bigger than dd and 36 around. This is such a pain in the butt, i get alot of unwanted attention- even from friends all joking, i know its all in fun, but it gets sickenning after a while. My back hurts, and the only bras i can wear are granny bras! forget those cute pink la senza bra- not happening. My boobs also make me look alot bigger than i actually am. I was thinking about maybe looking into a breast reduction. but my sister was going to get one, and she said if i ever have a baby they will just go back to the old way. Also how much would this cost? i live in canada. Any additional information would be great

Breast reduction? Hi! has anyone had a breast reduction? How did you decide what size to go for? I'm 34DD, weight 142 pounds and am 5'5 tall. I don't know if I should go for a cup C or a B... I'm planing on losing more weigth to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 130 pounds. I thought I'd add I'm not doing it for beauty. It's my back and my neck and shoulder pain that are forcing me to. My surgery is actually two weeks from now. I had a pre-op appointment yesterday and they said they are only removing half a pound of each. I doubt that's going to help ease my pain...

Breast Reduction? I have a very large (and extremely annoying) bust, and I really have trouble finding swimsuits that look good, bras that work well, and shirts that actually look right. I am a 36DD and was wondering what size doctors recommend you be before you get a breast reduction. Would I qualify, or am I too small? I would really love to be a small C. I'm 5'7" I am currently in the process of losing weight (although I am not overweight) and I think if I do it might help reduce my breast size. I'm 21 and haven't had children yet.

I am currently turning 35, I weigh 109 at about 5'3" however, I am a 32 F, I am concerned not only due to current back issues, but,due to family history, age progression = BREAST MASS. Currently, My husband has decided within the next few years he wants to try for children. Can anyone give me advice without saying "diet'?

Breast Reduction? Has anyone recently had a brest reduction like in the past months or so if so can you please tell me how you felt after and what you did to help speed up your healing process? I am actually going in Feb. 20th to get the surgery, my breast size is 34 JJ so I know there is a lot of work to be done and I just wanted to know if it is so painful to the point were I might have to have someone watch my 2 years old daughter she is very active and can be a handful at times so I know most likely the first few days I might need help with her but for about how long? Thanks in advance for any helpful answers.

breast reduction? I am only 5'4 and wear a 36 f. I have been thinking about getting a breast reduction but a lot of pictures I've seen leave huge scars. Is there a procedure that leaves little to no scar?

Breast Reduction? What is the typical cost of a breast reduction. I don't have any insurance, so I would have to pay cash for it. I wear a 40 I. I would like to get into a C cup.

Breast Reduction? I am only 17 years old and I have a very tiny figure, 5'2'' and I weigh 115, only problem is that my boobs will not stop growing. I am right not a 32 D and I know they will continue to grow like my moms. I feel like guys do not like me for me, but for my boobs. My mom will not let me get a breast reduction surgery because I am under age, but when I am 18 I am really thinking about getting one. Do you think that is a good idea? Or should I accept my body for the way it is?

Breast Reduction? I am planning on getting a Breast Reduction and i went to see the Plastic Surgeon, does anyone know how long it usually takes the insurance company to tell you if they are approved it or not?

breast reduction? I had a breast reduction in May and I still have next to no feeling in my nipples. Does anyone know if the feeling will ever come back to normal

breast reduction? I get out of the military soon (lose any forseeable health insurance) So I've got to decide. What are the risks of breast reductions. Can you breast feed after one, if you have kids. Recovery time. Anyone whos had one, please tell me about your experience. Is it worth it. 36DDD now, looking at maybe C's.

Breast Reduction? I have been wondering about breast reductions for a while now. At 20, I am a 38DD and I feel I am getting bigger. It is so hard to be comfortable and find clothes, swimsuits, etc. that fit. So I was hoping maybe someone would be able to help me with my questions...Ok so first off does it have to be a hinder to my physical health before insurance will cover, and if it does, how much does it usually run? Do you have to be up to a certain size before they will even consider you? And how much and long after will you be in pain? These are just questions I feel I need answered before I can seriously consider this. Thank you for you time:)

Breast Reduction??? I am 21 and size AU 10-12 with G cup breasts. I am having a reduction in 11 weeks and just want to hear from anyone who has had them done. I work 2 jobs and study at University and I know that everyone is different but: How much time did you take off work? How long were you in pain for? Do you still have any pain? Have your scars healed well? I will appreciate any personal answers, thankyou. **Just wanted to add in that I live in Australia and the operation is costing me AU $10, 500, I will get about $1500 back. I have no problem in spending this much money on something I really want done, but I would never ever ever go to such a country as mentioned to have surgery- it is not worth the risk- there is no way that the surgery can be as good as here and I couldn't fly back for my 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 months check up- My surgeon lives in the city 2 hours away from me and I justify paying the extra costs because to me that says that he must be good if he is so expensive.

Pregnancy following a breast reduction? Anyone ever got pregnant soon after a breast reduction or getting implants? How bad did your breast hurt? I got pregnant the same week of my reduction and my breast are killing me. 10 times worse than my other pregnancies (4 other kids)without a reduction. I'm 3 1/2 weeks pregnant. My reduction was 4 weeks and 1 day ago. One of my incisions leaked milk which prompted me to buy a home pregnancy test. What to do for the excruciating breast pain besides pop Tylenol everyday? By the way. my Ob/Gyn says the pregnancy is looking healthy so far. My Plastic surgeon says the breasts are healing perfectly but I'll be in pain and discomfort until the nerve endings grow back together completely.

Does Breast reduction change weight?? See I am thinking off undergoing breast reduction. My breast size is a DDD 38 and I weight 175 and I am 5'4 people say most of my weight carry in my breast so once I get a breast reduction will that help lose some of those pounds?

does a breast reduction also include a breast lift or without a lift? is it ok for doctors to charge 4 lift? I am trying to get a breast reduction my doctor charged my insuarance company which approved me. Now he's telling that if I want a plain reduction I don't have to pay but if I want a lift I have to pay more money out of my pocket. Does a breast reduction include a lift?

Breast Reduction/Lift? Ladies- I'm considering having a breast reduction, not much just a little extra weight off, and a lift. My breast are DD cup and I'd most likely take them down to an even C then have them lifted. I'm 35 and have children but I still look pretty damn good. It's just I hate that my breasts are no longer big and firm. And to me, big and saggy just won't due. I'm looking for stories, good and bad, from breast augmentations you've had. I don't like the thought of going under the knife for something so cosmetic, but I'm really beginning to feel depressed about them and exercise only builds them up minimally. Also, any advice on how to get my insurance to cover it would be helpful. I've heard the "complain to a chiropractor" tip already. Thanks. To entangledhere, thanks for your input, did you pay for the proceedure yourself?

Also, any advice on how to get my insurance to cover it would be helpful. I've heard the "complain to a chiropractor" tip already. Thanks.

Anyone have breast reduction surgery before having kids? I am looking for someone who has had breast reduction surgery and then had children. Did your breast grow during the pregnancy and remain that size after? Has anyone had to have breast reduction surgery twice due to your breasts growning again after one surgery? I have been informed about the possibilities of not being able to breast feed after the surgery.

Breast reduction and breast feeding question..? I had a breast reduction awhile ago and was told by the DR that it may be a possibility that I wouldn't be able to nurse because of some possible damage to the milk ducts resulting from the operation. I was wondering if anyone else had 1 and if so, did your breast leak colostrum in your pregnancy (I am 6 months and havent noticed any leaking yet) and were you able to nurse your baby successfully?

Breast Reduction in Teenagers? Is it wise, or even possible, for a 16 year old to have a breast reduction? My daughter's chest size is a 36G, and it appears that she is not done growing. It's been suggested that she have a reduction to prevent back problems, but is this wise for someone her age, especially considering she is not done growing yet? She is very muscular, and lifts weight regularly. (She's in her 4th semester of weight training in school.) And her coach is very helpful...he has developed a program that will help her strengthen her back muscles. That's great, but I'm sure there will come a time when she stops lifting weights...I guess I would like to know if it's better to reduce them now, or wait until it's necessary to do so, if that time should arise.

Question about breast reduction? I have very large breast and Im tired of my back hurting all the time and I am really considering having a breast reduction. Im worried about scarring.

I need breast reduction surgery, but I am 30 lbs overweight.? I have been given conflicting advice from different surgeons. One Doctor tells me to lose weight, the other one states it does not matter. Last year, I went on Atkins and lost all of my weight and my breast size did not change. Although I have recently regained the weight, still my breast size is the same. My neck, shoulders and back are constantly hurting, and I have to sleep in my bra to be comfortable. Is my weight really an issue when it comes to a breast reduction?

Bilateral Breast Reduction w/lipo. Has anyone had a br w/lipo? would you recommend it to others? I am scheduled to have a br in a few weeks. My PS says that he does the bilateral breast reduction along with lipo for contouring purposes. He says a roll of fat will form on the side of the breasts and lipo would fix that. I have had a hard time finding websites where people have had this as an additional part of their br surgery. I have seen the results of people who have not had this additional process and their results seem fine to me and they are happy with it.

Weight Loss and Breast Reduction???? Im a female that has recently lost a lil weight and is trying to lose a few more. Or more like toning it all up. A problem that Im having is that my breast size has shrunk fom a 36C/D to around a 34D or 36B depending on the person that measured me. I knew that would happen with weight loss but theyre not as firm as they used to be and the skin at the top portion of my breast is a lil loose and looks as though stretch marks want to form. How can I firm them up so? Anyone know any secrets to helping your breast grow. I miss my size and dudes close to me have noticed the reduction as well which makes it harder for me to deal with this????? Botox or collagen injections for breast??? LOL
