To the women: personal experience with breast reduction??!
Question: i am sooo not into surgery, but if i had a dime for every time someone has asked me if i've considered a reduction...i say i'm beautiful just how i am-but, then i sometimes do notice a strain on my back, or pressure on my ribcage and diaphram-i told the doctor, who said it would be considered medically necessary, but what about the risks? did u have it done and you're happy with it? did u have it done or know someone who had it done and it didn't turn out well??

I had it done Feb 2006 and do not regret it one bit. If I had to do it again I would.
There are risks with EVERY surgery, including breast surgery. That is why you should see at least three PS's before deciding on who to go with, and be sure to be a good patient.

I know someone who used to be a G and got reduced to a B. She was very happy with the results and her back didn't hurt anymore. There were no surgical effects, but her boobs now look like they were pinched in the middle and pulled up a little bit (there is no difference with a shirt on).
