breast lift/reduction

oKay I may be in the minority here but when I get my breast lift, I want a reduction in size, I have always hated my large breasts, and would be thrilled with a B cup! Anyone else have a lift with a reduction? How was it? were you happy with it?

Hi,
Yes for me I knew I wanted a reduction.  I had been a D when I weighed 130 lbs in my 20's and then went up to a DDD as I gained all my weight.......so I asked the surgeon to reduce me to "C".  It's always a very personal decision and for me I knew I didn't want to be real big on top anymore.  Last year (Nov 2008) I had a reduction and lift and ended up a nice full "C" and was 1000% happy with my decision and the results!!. 

About 3 months ago I had another Lift done because as I continued to loss another 45-50 lbs to reach my goal my new boobs got a little droopy so I thought I would lift them while going in for the full TT.  The new surgeon sure did lift them but I think I've lost some volume which I wasn't expecting but I guess it makes sense.....so now I think I will be in a B cup once everything settles down but I don't know for sure yet.  

Lessons learned.....
I should have left things that are well enough alone.....but I'm not overly unhappy.
I wish I had not rushed into getting the breast reduction done until after I had reached my goal or was at least within 10-15 lbs of goal.   That is why I waited till I was at goal and done before I started the rest of my plastics.

Best wishes to you!!!

thank you, yes, I am 4 pounds below my surgeon's goal and within 16 pounds of my dream goal of 120, so...I was thinking it was at least time to think about it...and I hate having a constant back ache from the downpull of these breasts!

I can tell you that I have not had one moment of back and shoulder pain since having the reduction.  Best thing I ever did!

me too -- all my back, shoulder and headaches went away -  I might put tylenol out of business now!

I want the opposite!  Funny the grass is always greener!

Hi, I am having this procedure done tomorrow so I'll let you know what I think.  Right now I am a 36G although I don't think I look necessarily bad in clothes- I'm just a 36LONG.  I'm very concerned about being too small when all is said and done.  Insurance is paying for it so I have to have around 400 gr taken out of each breast.  The Dr thinks I will be a large C when all is said and done.  If I'm not happy with them, then I will have implants put in when I go see Dr S sometime in April or May.

the best of luck to you tomorrow! you will be in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs!

Good luck tomorrow!!

I am a very full C - most bra's a D

doc took our 380 in each (approx) I too was in the G range (should have wore a 36GGG ha ha) not the 46E which was so ill fitting

now I am a 36D
