Spinoff to breast augmentation- Breast reduction!
Anyone have a breast reduction? It's definitely something I have thought about for a long time, but I'm too afraid of the surgery!
Wanted to see what others thought about it, pros and cons?

Re: Spinoff to breast augmentation- Breast reduction!
the only cons are the scars. but they fade over time.
Everything else is a PRO!

Re: Spinoff to breast augmentation- Breast reduction!
I have one when I was about 20. The scars really are the downside. But I loved the results. I say loved b/c I gained weight and therefore gained back in that area.
Would I do it again - yes! Was it miserable for a week after - yes. But it was so worth it and was very happy with the results. I did it over a holiday weekened and was back in school right away.
The scary part is the drains you have hanging out of you that need to be drained everyday. The thought of them bieng pulled out is super scary but didn't hurt that bad.

Re: Spinoff to breast augmentation- Breast reduction!
just FYI, my friend (sorta) had this done and they ended up growing back, no joke. Her's regenerated. She got it done in her early twenties.

I had no drains...I think they do it differently now.
Don't want the drains to scare you...my whole procedure was 2.5 hrs and I was back at work in 4 days.

Did she gain weight, or stay the same size and her boobs just grew?
I've never had one but have always wanted one. But I'm overweight by about 30 lbs, so I'm hoping that by losing this I will lose part of my chest as well. I gained weight in my chest so it stands to reason that I can lose it as well. But if that doesn't work, maybe after having kids I'll have a reduction and lift.

Nope she didn't gain weight. In fact its a rare chance this can happen.

As soon as I am done with kids! Can't wait for this and to finally buy pretty, delicate looking bras rather than my beige "sturdy" deals!

your body changes and hormones can make a change. I know mine got bigger but I gained weight. I went back in for some scar removal since I developed some scar tissue inside one. I had the puppies adjusted. I was back at work after that in 2 days. It happens.

Re: Spinoff to breast augmentation- Breast reduction!
I had it done when I was 20... I was defintiely overweight at the time, but lost the weight after the surgery because I was able to work out and had the confidence I lacked before the surgery. It was the best thing I ever did... ever... I definitely have very visible scars, but no one ever seemed to mind
