Question:
Breast Reduction photos

Would anyone be willing to share their breast reduction photos? I'm 5'2" 138 and would like to see photos of anyone with similar stats. I'm currently 36DD or 34DDD. If you're willing to share please send to [email protected] Thanks!    — SJP (posted on September 8, 2004)

I don't have any of my photos, but I had a reduction about 15 years ago and have been very happy with the results. They used the sort of incision that runs along the bottom and up to the nipple. I don't think the surgery has changed much since that time. One thing I will stress is that how your breasts look just after surgery is nothing like they will be later after all the swelling and gravity settles down several months later. When I first had it done they put me in a sort of corset for a month of support (and maybe molding), and the breasts were sort of cone-shaped. At this point in time there is almost no scarring left and I am much more comfortable. I used to get rashes, and could barely go without a bra for more than an hour without pain. Will also say though, it took me about 2 months to get back to normal. I couldn't lift anything up past my shoulder, and was quite sore. Unlike those Miracle Makeover shows, it wasn't quite that easy. Whenever I see the surgery listed as "recovery time" 2 weeks I grimace, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
