Well here it is, the update from my breast reduction that I know so many have been waiting on. Unfortunately, its not a good update. I hope this video helps some of you, and helps you have better questions going into your surgery if you’re doing one. I DO NOT recommend the doctor I went to, nor do I feel they treated me with care post-op and pretty much told me I got the size the doctor wanted for my body (aka not what I wanted).

I just had a reduction on June 1st. 2023. I' am still in the healing process. I went from a 42K to a D or DD I may be. Not sure until the swelling goes down to see the final results. But I feel free!! I was literally a prisoner in my own body. I hope the best for you and wish you the best. I hope you get what you want.💗💗
I’m three days post-op so in the beginning of the healing process. Luckily because my dad is on call for his work this week, I get to sleep in my parents’s bed which is the kind that can move up and down. This makes it easier to get out of bed and sleep propped up. I was a 36DDD and wanted to be as small as my surgeon could make them (A if possible; or B).
Being told that the surgeons did what *they* thought looked best with your curves must have been so insulting. I'm getting angry just thinking about it. This surgery wasn't to make you eye candy for men, it was to make you more comfortable!
I'm so sorry this happened to you, wishing you the best 💕
That was my fear. I just had a reduction three days ago and mentioned both during the consultation and right before surgery that I wanted to be as small as possible so A/B cup (I know there’s no guarantee on size due to needing enough tissue to keep the nipples alive). My surgeon (male) was in compliance with that.
While I’m overweight and now my tummy protrudes a bit (I’m slowly working in losing weight but with symptoms wanted to get the surgery done. This way I can also do more intense workouts after recovery without needing to double bra and stuff). I also had lost a lot of weight about five years ago and my boobs stayed proportionate so I know that losing weight again wouldn’t make my cup size go down enough.
I’ve never liked being on top and always wished I was small.
Ooo I fully understand you:( I am only 5 days after surgery and I can see,they are still bigger as I wanted. I hope it will change, as I was saving and dreaming about this whole my life.
I really ,really understand where are you comming from.
You have every right to feel frustrated. When you first started talking that you felt like you were too big still I was thinking a full C or small D. When you said DD or DDD my jaw hit the floor. I know doctors aren't miracle workers but to pay that money, go through the physical and emotional pain/healing and to have results that far off is ridiculous.
I am currently going through the process to see if I want to have this surgery myself so that is how I stumbled onto your journey. I really appreciate all the people on youtube willing to document this journey and being vulnerable with all of us, it means ALOT to people like myself. Sending you virtual hugs and love! xo
Also, why did they keep asking you prior to your surgery what size and shape and then just do what they think looks right on your body? I am have curvy friends that don't have much of a chest. I also have very thin friends that have gotten large implants and their doctors didn't make them smaller than asked just because they are curvy. That is an odd excuse in my personal opion. I am not a medical professional either but is seems odd.
Thank you for sharing this. I just reached my six month mark and I’m dealing with the same issue. Mine are still too big and it’s crazy how the doctors can gaslight you when you express your unhappiness.
I agree. Later this spring I’m going to see if I can find legal help.
My heart goes out to you, and I sincerely hope that you are able to achieve what you're looking for.
I had a breast reduction done when I was in my twenties. I was a DDD and wanted a B but was told that the best they could do was a C. I hated having large breasts. I know God makes us the way he wants us, and I wasn't trying to ungrateful, but something had to change. The stigma attached to girls/women with large chest is difficult. It's as if the opposite sex feels that somehow it means you're easy. It most certainly does not! It was the first thing people looked at when meeting me and I hated it!
I was self-conscious, nothing fit right, my shoulders and back hurt, and the marks on my shoulders from the straps digging In weren't pleasant either. I wasn't prepared with how to care for them after surgery. Wasn't told about the scares or the pain. However, I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I don't feel that mine were done as well as they could have been, but I'm glad I did it.
Pray on It and God will lead you.
no the opposite sex just found you more attractive
@@thomasmchenry5464 I agree she did not know what she had. It is genetic programming to find busty women attractive.
It is same as I getting Muscles reduction surgery.
Back pain is all about muscles weakness, bad posture and under garment.
I just had a breast reduction a few days ago and was a 36DDD. I told the surgeon I wanted to go down as small as possible so an A if he could do it (I know it can’t be guaranteed bc of needing enough tissue to keep the nipples alive, etc.). He was fine with it.
I had a breast reduction Dec 7th 2021. I went from a 36G to a 36C..the best decision I ever made. I paid $6000 less than you and I got the results I wanted..I hope things go well for you in the future
I went from double DD to full C in OC and best thing I’ve ever done. Everything fits right and changes your posture for the better! Follow your heart on what you want and go after it so you are satisfied.
Hi Sandy! I’m a 34DDD and 5’2 , my back has been hurting pretty much since I have had breasts (middle school grade) and now I am having the little upper hump on my back , headaches & now strap indents oh my shoulders. I want to get mine done soon & wanted to ask if I went from a DDD to a C , is the recovery harsh ? & make a big difference on backache / headache?
@@GGPop808 I had an easy recovery at 45 so the younger the better. It will change your life. Breast reduction surgery has the highest satisfaction rate. The first few days the drains bug a bit but after a week or so things improve. 2 weeks out soft bra and can do a little more. I highly recommend this surgery! Don’t get fat put in. Good luck!
@Aditi . 5 years out and perfect
@Aditi . 5 years out and perfect
@Aditi . it can take a year. Ask your doctor
My advice when you find another surgeon would be this,
1. have them take that fat OUT OF YOUR BOOBS ASAP
2. Ask them how many GRAMS they would take out, that’s what determines your breast size. My doctor said he’s gonna remove 700-900 grams out and that alone will make me a C cup.
3. Please reconsider the anchor scar, they can take out way more tissue that way. They will fade very thin over time.
4. And lastly, I hope this doesn’t come out wrong but those “Instagram famous” plastic surgeons are always going for the Hollywood look. They do what they think looks good and not what WE are asking for.
5. Also please please make sure your next doctor puts you in a surgical bra after surgery.
6. Going from a DDD-C is obtainable, don’t let them tell you otherwise. I’m so sorry girl, I know you’re pissed. My surgery is April 21st
Yes it is. I had a breast reduction February 8 2022, I went from a 42 DDD to a C.
@@morganmorgan884 omg how is your results looking so far. What state are you in if you don’t mind I’m researching surgeons that have experience on bigger sizes
Libby tells us your results please!
April 21st is my bday lol I hope you loved the outcome of your surgery ❤️ hoping to get mine soon, back and neck pain is killing me!
Sorry your your out come did not go as plan, got mine done. Went from a 38K to a 36C... let me tell you an amazing outcome!!!
I had my reduction February 8 2022. I went from a 42DDD to a C. I love it, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I had mine just a few days before yours! I think it was the best decision ever too. Just starting to try new clothes and it’s so fun!
I had mine on the 10th of Feb I love it went from an H to a C
Same I went from a 38DDD to 36C on Feb 4 and this is the best thing I have done. Zero back pain. It’s amazing!
My breast reduction is scheduled March 31st and I'm also 42 DDD, my surgeon is shooting for getting me down to a C or D🤞🏽
@@jadegreen3138 you are going to LOOOVE it 💚💚💚💚
I’m finding this video really helpful. I have my surgery in 2 days , I’m currently a 32HH and my surgeon has said that he can’t guarantee a size, but would reduce them considerably. My main goal in this isn’t for cosmetic purposes (I’m not knocking anyone at all) , but it’s medical . My spine , neck & collar bone are being crushed by these huge watermelons I have - so I don’t have a goal size , just to be out of pain (and not have to take 1500mg of codeine every 4 hours) .
I feel for you - it sounds like you were pretty much mis-sold this surgery . I’m not sure if it’s different here in the UK , but we have free healthcare (the nhs) and private healthcare- I’m having this done via private and I feel really informed . I’ve researched the hell out of it all , and my surgeon has been voted the best plastic surgeon in the world by a very prestigious magazine, plus has patients travel from all over the world to have him . Genuinely I feel like I’m in the best hands . I was surprised that they didn’t keep you in hospital after your surgery , as I’ve been told it’s a minimum 1 night stay . Xx
Yea it’s different in the US, breast reduction is pretty much always outpatient surgery, meaning you go home the same day. Then they have you go back to the doctors office the next day for an exam. Not sure why 🤷♀️
How did your surgery go? What size did you get down to?
Me too!! Im also very narrow in my chest a 28 or 30 but my boobs are like D or DD so Im skinny overalls with big boobs that dont go with my frame.. I wanna get it done. Please give us an update
I’m a 38H and 127 pounds I wish I could go to 38B or even 38C
How did it go? Who was your surgeon?
My heart breaks for you. And I totally and utterly understand all the feelings and emotions you have expressed. I had a reduction when I was 23 and I allowed the surgeon to talk me into not being as small as I wanted to be. I wanted to go from an H to a B ... he talked me into a C. Things were OK for a while, then I had some medical issues in my 40s and gained about 50 pounds. I feel like most of it is in my breasts. OK, so not really but that's how I feel. Fast forward to today, I'm 57; have lost most of those 50 pounds (have the last 10 to go for my goal) - and I'm a DDD, on a good day. Headaches, back aches, shoulder pain, etc. I have decided to have another reduction - this time its very different because I will loose my nipple; and while he will "make" me one, it has been a difficult decision. I'm doing it anyway; Aug 4th. My novel here is to thank you for your courage to share your feelings - as the surgical manager is trying to "talk me into" being a C (again). I was considering it; stupidly. After watching your video I am going to insist on going to a small B; a very small B ... so thank you for making this video and sharing the results. THANK YOU
I hope you are well and healing in body, mind, and soul. As someone who is both older than you and used to have severe dysmorphic issues, I can say that with age comes acceptance and grace. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder when you're young, and when you're older, you realize that no amount of outside beauty can match beauty that shines from the inside out.
Surgeon told me the exact same thing; he did what he thought fit my body type. I wanted to be much smaller & I couldn't be helped. That was in 2016. Now I'm as large as I was pre-surgery, but with a better shape. My breasts grew back. I'm STILL too big for my liking. I didn't want "boob sweat," and I specifically made that clear. Still & always have had boob sweat which is very uncomfortable! I think I'm too old to have surgery again, so I'm calling it quits. But PLEASE don't YOU stop until you are happy & comfortable. Take care & good luck! 😊
Mine grew back too 30 years later postmenopausal. I’m having my second reduction at the end of this July
I'm 75 and 5 days posture op for explant and lift.
Had my reduction lift on 7.31.23. I am more than happy with my results. Tapes and stitches (if any) come out tomorrow. I had a tummy tuck at the same time. In terms of recovery/pain… What breast lift?
@seanhidey1789 _ Hi. Hope you're doing well, but after one year, did they get any bigger, or did they change in shape or even fall down
You are totally right!!! Instead of giving you so many excuses, they should do it again for free. You are totally brave and I would demand that doctor to give you back your money. Wait till you are totally heal and go see a lawyer, if they are not will to do anything about it.
I went from DDD to a C reduction/lift. My surgery date was 2/17. I am extremely happy with the results and don’t give a fig about scarring but my surgeon did such a wonderful job I am completely unbothered by them. Would I do this again? OH HECK YES!!!!
That’s so refreshing to hear-I’ve always been chesty-always wanted a boob ‘lift’ mine have always drooped- I’m 56 now-42f or bigger-my shoulders ache-hate wearing blouses,always got a long cardigan on -not confident at all -your comment made me think .Thank you
Where did you go???
I'm a 34ddd and I'm just starting to research for a lift and was told that I need a reduction. I like my size but I don't mind going down to dd but I don't want smaller so I'm a little disappointed
I'm so glad I came across your video. I had the SAME EXACT experience with my surgeon. Almost verbatim. I understand 100% how frustrating it is. I was so unhappy with my results. I was a 38DDD and I wanted a C cup. I ended up with 38DD. WTH!!! I was afraid to express my disappointment and felt intimated to express my concerns. I still had the same back, neck and shoulder pain. The surgeon and I decided that after six months; if I was still dissatisfied with my results, the surgeon would do liposuction to remove some of the fullness from the bottom portion of my breast. I ended up doing a 360 BBL and the liposuction of my breast also done. I'm currently four weeks post-op from that procedure. I have to wait for the "swelling" to go down within 3 months to start to see the results of my breasts. I'm so discouraged. The surgeon explained that there is a possibility that my breast may be uneven, but so far, they look great, except for the swelling. Please give an update.
Hey girl can you give us an update? How did your breast reduction turned out?
Oh man! I’m getting one done & this would also make me upset because coming from someone that’s larger bust also we look forward to the relief & everything. (It’s much more than just having a smaller bust)
This video was great for me ! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
The surgeon should be doing a lot of measurements while you’re sitting upright before the surgery. There is a science to achieving your new cup size that involved various measurements . It took him about 30 minutes to measure me out.
@@sandy949 Sittin upright and also layin down? I think when the person is layin down breasts look different so they should know what to do
@@bbygrlpt2 the dr spent 35 minutes measuring both sitting up right and lying down. It’s a lot of measurements from different angle of the body. Good luck
@@sandy949 Thank you for the info💖
I am watching your video day one of my reduction. I will continue watching your journey. I hope your doctor or another redid your surgery for FREE. People do not understand the large breast journey. 🙏🏾
I’ve read a lot about them growing back especially if you don’t have an extreme diet plan. I’m currently at 34H, I wish I was a 34D like back in middle school. I have read online that everyone has a different genetic amount of dense breast tissue that should not be removed and the only part they’re probably removing for the surgery is the breast tissue that isn’t dense. We all have two different kinds of tissue and basically the dense is responsible for maintaining the shape and the other breast tissue is just fatty from weight gain and weight loss and hormones.
I just had my reduction March 4, 2022. I went from a DD to C. I noticed you had no bra during your recovery and I was told I needed to be on a surgical bra 24-7 for at least the first 2 weeks. I’m on my second week post surgery still recovering and It might be too soon but I can say that I’m loving by breast now. Have to wait and see in 6 months how they look.
I did the exact same reduction in size five years ago. Wear soft supportive bra for a long time for best result.
Please update us once you reach 6 months post operation.
I'm DD as well and my Dr wants to reduce my breast to a small C, but I'm wanting a B. So hearing from you will be helpful on making my decision. So thanks in advance.
@@tamzin-leenewkirk3927 Hi, one month already! saw my surgeon yesterday had my last medical tape and clips removed and everything looks hood. I thought about a B but I thought it would be too small. C is perfect not too big and not that small.
@@sandy949 How long ago did you had your surgery? Also, how are your scars why did you use to help minimize the scaring.
@@noemimartinez6331 years ago. I used nothing and they are okay. Scarring is different for every single person. Best surgery I ever did!
I’m sorry you’re unhappy. I watched your videos before my procedure. I went from 40 F to 38 D/DD. They’re bigger than I would have liked, but smaller than before so I’m okay. I hope you get results that make you happy.
Second, third and fourth opinions is where it’s at. I saw multiple surgeons, and wound up with a result I was happy with, but every outcome is unique and I was fortunate, because it is a leap into the unknown and there is no rewind.
I really feel for you, it is a very intimate and hard thing to talk about to strangers and there is a massive knowledge differential between a doctor and a lay person/patient.
Read everything you can get your hands on, talk to every lady you know who has had breast surgery or even looks like she might have had breast surgery, get 20 consults until you find your own personal boob whisperer. I am confident you can get the outcome you want.
I wish you luck in your search 🧡🧡🧡
Wondering if you have to typcially pay $300 for every consult? That also can get costly
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m a 36G and like you, I want a much smaller size. You helped confirm that I picked a good doctor because he told me upfront that he couldn’t promise me a cup size but that it probably wouldn’t be less than a D because of my proportions. He said all of the things your doctor waited until after the surgery to tell you.
Again I’m sorry that you had a bad experience. Thank for sharing and helping others.
I had my nose done in the 1990s. He told me if I wasn’t happy with anything, he would fix it for free.
I did have a problem with it and he fixed it FOR FREE - with a smile, and he was friendly and respectful towards me.
Thank you for sharing. I sincerely appreciate your vulnerability and to hear the struggles you’ve gone through is really valuable
You are so incredibly brave to be sharing this. Thank you so much!
So I’m getting a reduction soon and I decided to look at the good and bad about surgery. I came across this video it made me ANGRY AND SAD FOR HER. This is not right!!!! After paying so much for them I’m sorry they should be PERFECT!!!!!!! they should not be that low, I totally get you…. you wanted what you wanted. You have every right to feel the way you do. They took advantage of you and then tried to bully you into accepting them. I really pray you get what you want eventually. There is Notting worst than waiting for this and being sooooooo disappointed.
I had a reduction and went from about an E to a B and here is the problem: large breasts have a certain width, and you can reduce volume, but you can't reducecwidth the same way. Since my doctor took so much off, what happened is my breasts had the same width, but not the volume. The volume they did have dropped to the bottom, ie bottomed out, and my nipple was up on the flat part. A revision was not able to correct this. I ended up getting implants and had them for 27 years until i got BII from them and had them removed. Now i have my original wide but deflated reduced breasts back, with some improvement from the doctor tucking them diwn a bit. They're not perfect but they're good enough. Plastic surgery is never perfect.
Wow when you showed the 3 pictures side by side there was a huge difference. The looked good/small after surgery even with swelling. The last photo they looked way bigger and in fact one breast was noticeably bigger then the other. It actually looks like they grew back a fair amount. A girl in them UK had a reduction and in a short period of time they grew back with NO weight gain. They say it’s rare but it can happen.
I'm so sorry you went through this. I had my breast reduction on Saturday, and I didn't pay half of what you paid, and I went from a HH to the C cup I wanted. I totally relate to what you said about getting the size that you want. So sad 😞
I’m so sorry that you are u happy with how this happened 😞 you look amazing but your feelings are so valid. I hope that you can get resolution on all of this!! ❤️ thank you for sharing your story
You are 100 thousand percent right 😢 I’m so upset for you ! They need to re do the surgery at no cost… is terrible that they aren’t taking any responsibility on this.. I’m getting mine done soon and they look exactly like yours on before photos, I’m very worried this can happen to me too ! Is so unfair that they get to decide such an important decision for us! I’m sorry this happened to you
I am so sorry this happened to you! All your feelings are valid! I would be livid. They are the professionals, that should have told every single detail of what was going to happen because this is YOUR body. It’s something you live with everyday and should have been filled in about even the smallest detail. I’m so sorry this happened and I hope you can get your goal 💕 btw YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Sending you love and hugs darling xxx bless you! Don't worry about who unfollw you on Instagram, be yourself and express your feelings without feeling guilty 💛💛💛and I understand where you're coming from as I can see the photos 📸 and those people who are saying you're crazy are having a laugh 🙄 so sorry hun xxx
Thank you 🙏🏻
@Alexsis Mae you're welcome lovely xxx
Just had mine in March so almost 4 months PO. Went from a JJ to a C and I couldn’t be happier, life changing! I’m so sorry you’re not happy with your results. I hope you’re able to come up with a resolution 😕
How long was the actual procedure? Like how many hrs of the surgery?
@@bbygrlpt2 I can’t say how long the procedure for the breast were because I had it along with lipo and fat transfer and it was a total of 6 hours
I just had my breast reduction last week going from a 36i to a 36b/c and if I got of the table and was a Dd I would also be so frustrated. I’m sorry you went through that. I couldn’t image
Can can you please give me info on the doctor you used and how did it all come out… I am really scared but looking for a doctor… I am also size i
Hugs and thank you for all of the women you are helping by posting this information. I hope you get the results you intended.
Aww I’m so sorry. That’s so unfortunate to not get the results you wanted. I’m planning on having a reduction but was told a long time ago that I have to get to a very specific weight. That was 18 years ago and I’ve gained a lot of weight since then but have lost quite a bit since being at my heaviest. I was told that I need to be 140 lbs at most. I’m at 218 lbs right now, so it’s discouraging but I’ve changed so many things about with my diet, exercise and lifestyle so I feel like I’ll get there Lord willing. I happened upon your channel by accident but I’m glad as I’m also a Christian so it’s nice to be connected. I should check out your more recent videos to see whether or not you’ve had another surgery. It would suck to have to pay that again. Breast reductions are usually covered here in Canada, especially if it’s effecting physical health like causing back pain, neck pain etc. I would hope they’d do a second one for free when you’re not happy with the first. Thank you for sharing your story. It will help people but I wish it hadn’t happened to you. God Bless!
I thank you for sharing this video. I can tell it was difficult, and I'm so happy you shared in your own time. Breast reductions in South Florida run about $5000...and I'm so happy my insurance will be covering mine. You have given me so much to question when I do my additional meetings with my doctor. Thank you so much🥰
Thank you SO SO much for sharing your journey despite how difficult it was. I know I will be getting a breast reduction at some point in the next few years and your videos are so helpful. I’m so sorry they had such poor communication! It sounds like they are trying to cover up that they didn’t give you the size you originally asked for. I am definitely not a surgeon and know nothing about it but that’s how they come across. Thank you again for sharing 💕
Thank you for being so open and honest. I’m so nervous now, my consult isn’t until April 6th, but I’m a 34J and scared that I won’t be able to go down to a decent size
I’m a 36J and I’m so scared of this happening too.
Any updates?
I’m going through this same thing !
I was a G and they left me DDD
I’m not happy it’s smaller but I wanted smaller
My boobs don’t match my personality
They’re so out there and I’m more reserved
I feel your pain // I got my surgery in June 2021
I totally understand this mentality. My boobs totally do not represent me at all. They feel like somebody else’s body part.
Yes, there is more to us than meets the eye.
I’m so sorry to hear about your journey on breast reduction. I just had reduction surgery last thursday, Dr. Sumida in Folsom at Nuance Cosmetic Surgery. He is awesome! I’m 62 and I was a triple D. He also did liposuction under my arms and sides. I’m surprised your dr added fat to the top of your chest during surgery. He should know that as we age our hormones make our breasts bigger. I’m glad you are getting a second opinion and new dr. Maybe do the surgery after your are done having children as you know breasts enlarge then. Your’s did look super good right after surgery, I’m just surprised at how much they enlarged after almost a year. I hope and pray you get this resolved it is a very tough journey to go through. Hugs,
Thank you for sharing this experience with your audience. I’m 3 weeks post op. From g to what I asked for c. And my doctor barely listens to me in the post op check ins. He keeps going, aren’t you so much happier? Did we take too much, do you want me to put some back in? I asked for a b-c and he kept insisting that b was too small. Even though that’s what I wanted. So I settled on a SMALL c. Now that I’m post op… they look like a D-DD. I’m praying that they’ll go down from the swelling. But he talks as if this is it for me… I went bra shopping and still couldn’t find anything in my size… all this to feel the same way as before? I’m feeling angry and horrified. All that anticipating. All that difficulty for the last 3 weeks. I’m seriously praying. I hope you get the results you want in the end and I’m sorry you’re going through this!
I’m five days post-op and was a G before going into surgery…I’m so worried this is what’s going to happen to me. I know it’s only been a few days, and there’s still swelling that needs to go down, but my surgeon told me she took out approx. 360g from one side, and close to 500g on the other. I had wanted a C cup, but from reading other people’s comments, and doing some research, I don’t think she took out NEARLY enough to get me as small as I wanted. Not only will all the pain (and time off work) be for nothing, but my parents helped me pay for a portion of this, and I’ll feel like all their money will have gone down the drain…I’m PRAYING that I’ll be happy with the results once swelling goes down, and that I won’t be anything bigger than a D (if not a C). I don’t think I’ll say anything if I’m not happy with the results though…I’ll feel terrible😔 I could NEVER afford a second!
@@TheDancelover009 I have an update for you! My breast did go down! I’m at a solid c now :) fat transfers allll the way down the body as we heal apparently. So I’m hoping for you that it goes down as well!!!
@@Stephanie-ki5oz i am in the EXACT situation that you WERE in. I feel like I’m a D/DD and I asked for a C. Yesterday, officially made 2 weeks post op. Im not feeling this size. I wasn’t given a supportive bra after surgery, more like 2 dollar bra. How long did it take for you to see that C cup?
@@TheDancelover009 How are you doin girl?? Did it go down?? Is it any better?
@@niastubby8769 hey nia! Sorry you went through this too. I’m officially fitting into c cup now!! My surgeon was incredibly useless. I got a skin infection due to him being negligent in my after care. But I’m all good now. Wore a Knix bra during my recovery. How are you doing now???
I had very similar problems aftet my breast reduction. I was made to feel like I was complaining and worried for no reason. I was told that I'm not dying so things aren't that serious. I was scared, worried, upset, and disappointed. However I was treated like my feelings did not matter. I am now having a second surgery with the same surgeon to have my right breast reduced again and nipple lifted because my right breast looks much different then my left breast 🤦🏽♀️. PLUS I have a DENT/ DIMPLE under my left breast that has to be repaired. When I stressed these issues with my surgeon in the beginning. He was so cruel and had no empathy for how I felt. I cried and cried... Now I will have to go through a second surgery to repair what I had been complaining about from the start. I'm praying for great results this time AND I hope I don't lose blood supply to my nipple. I already have no feeling in my right nipple from my first Reduction surgery.😔😭. Pray for me y'all. Thank you#
I heard myself gasp at the 3rd photo.
Your requests and expectations are absolutely NOT fulfilled.
im sorry you went through all this... so glad you are transparent
I’m so sorry for what you have gone through. I am going to meet a surgeon in Ontario soon. Mine are dd and hurt my back I’ve had to have back surgery and shoulder issues and I’m hoping for a size B because you have informed me not to choose c as i May still be a d
I go for my breast surgery Friday. A day away. I’m told I’m much larger then DD. Said C or D be smallest I could have. Will get back to you
I’m a 1 week out and I am very unhappy. I was H cup the surgeon took off a little over 6 pounds I was very full breast. I voice my opinion the same day I was very flat with not must breast tissue left. I voiced how unhappy I was on my 1 week appointment with my surgeon. I feel embarrassed I have to be a B cup and large lumps under my armpit. I discussed the size with my surgeon he was pretty sure I would be around a D cup after my surgeon and according to my body type having much wider shoulders. I couldn’t stop crying about my results and tried hard not to cry but continue to stress my concerns about my size and fat under both arm pits but more on the left size. My surgeon told me multiple stories after my surgery but before my surgery we spoken agreed on cup size about a D cup but pretty sure a C cup would be to much breast tissue removed for my safety during all three appointments I was expecting what we agreed on and to noticed days after surgery that I was all padding im embarrassed and had hard to accepting these results the surgeon and his nurse telling me how beautiful my breast are and within a year they will settle into the size we agreed on and when I spoke on the phone with my surgeon what really was upsetting my surgeon starting mixing me up with other patients.
You wanted a D cup and they are now a b cup?
I’m a size D and after two kids, I want to lift and reduce them to a B. I have small arms and waist so I want small boobs to match. I can’t wait to have this done. I hope you get the results you want next time around x
Wow with $18,000 I would travel and get it done somewhere else. I am planning mine for October 2022. I moved to Portugal and it cost me €4,000 the hospital package . My biggest fear is being big after the surgery 😩
Thank you for being brave enough to post a video like this. I just found your channel while researching reductions and you've given me many things to keep in mind as I go into my surgery. I'm in the Pittsburgh area, I've paid and booked a reduction at $6224, with a doctor with a high reputation in my area. Dr John Francis of Artisan Plastic Surgery. I'm not sure you'd want to travel all this way though!
Thank you for sticking with your Christian morals and keep pressing into your faith in these times ❤️
PS. They're 100% gaslighting you about "can't go by cup size" and "second surgery will cause deformity". Really unfortunate for them.
I have mine scheduled for Nov and asked about fat transfer for fullness but my surgeon warned me of this risk… they can’t control where it may migrate to. It’s so tough to make these decisions
I am so unhappy with my reduction. I can still fit my F sized bras. I was so depressed over the size of my breast following surgery that I couldn't get out of bed for 2 weeks.
I’m so sorry to hear that love.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I can tell how this really took a little of courage for you to share. My surgery is coming up and I’ll definitely use this video for reference for advocating for myself
Alexsis, the same thing happened to me. 6 years ago I had a reduction. Went from 32DDD to now a 32DD. So unhappy. I’m getting my 2nd reduction on April 21, 2022! I’m going for a full B..
How was it girl??
@@bbygrlpt2 thanks for asking. It’s been a little over 2 months. Slow going with the healing, one breast is larger than the other so hoping that changes over the next few months. But overall I’m so much happier.
Hi Filippa! did you have the second breast reduction? How did it go? I hope all for the best and that your breasts are now the right size for you. greetings.
@@RosAria72829 hi Rosaria, yes I did, So almost 4 months ago. It went well but I still wish they were a bit smaller. I’m probably a C but still don’t know for sure. I don’t know what’s up with these docs, they are afraid to go too small. I’ve watched a ton of videos from girls and not one of them has said they went down to a B. I’m still happy I did it, and now just working through the scars. Thanks so much for asking! 😍
Hi 😊! May you tell me what changed, about shoulder/back pain and/or headache, if you had any before? And what are the difficulties now, or if you feel better? I would like to reduce my breast too, but i don't know if it would be worthy or not...
So sorry this happened to you. You have every right to be upset. I’m having surgery next week and this is one of my fears. I’m a G cup. I requested to go to a full C or D. I have neck and back issues so anything more than a D would be awful. Have you decided on a new surgeon yet?
Dr. Dalal is with So Cal Kaiser. & He took me from a G cup to a B/C cup. Very humble & complete doctor. He told me the surgery would last 4 1/2 hrs but he took 6 hours so that I could have the results I wanted. Im super happy with my reduction & I think you should look into him ❤️
Thank you for your journey ❤️ I'm getting done in August and so scared for these reasons. I just want smaller breast to help my back. 40ddd and want a C or even a B don't even care just better what I have. I have months to decide to cancel or not.
Was it expensive?
@@samanthabambenek6398 If you've ever had a C Section this surgery is a walk in the park just be prepared to sleep on your back that's all I would say was the hardest part.
@@elizabethrivera5837 My insurance covered the entire procedure, and I have Kaiser through Medi-Cal. Normally yes it's very pricey.
I totally agree with how she feels and especially from seeing the photos not to mention that cost a lot of money. They should have offered to redo this to her liking without her having to pay anything .
sounds like this doctor doesn't specialize in reduction. I'm so sorry this happened but sounds like you'd be better off with a new doctor, new eyes and a second opinion
God bless you!! I’m so sorry you are going through this!!!🙏🏻
Girl! They need to do this again but at NO charge to you! I'm having mine done in 3 weeks. I went to 2 different surgeons before deciding. Both said how important wearing a surgical compression bra was after the surgery! I was told the longest I could have it off was 1 hour each day. It definitely makes a difference on how you look and where your girls are going to find their place to stay. Don't let them give you that BS of we can't make you a c or d or whatever. They totally screwed up by not having you support your breasts while they were healing. I'm mad for you!
Hey there so I totally feel your pain. Breast reduction shouldn't be that hard but it seems that doctors either don't listen or never deliver. Go see Dr. Bradley Hubbard in Dallas. He fixes anything and is the nicest doctor you'll meet;) Good luck love.....go get what you want!! Xoxo Jen
During the pandemic 2020 I was mostly braless most of the time. Skin does stretch and I did noticed my boobs went up two sizes. I'm just wondering if because you didn't wear a post surgery bra had something to do with the end results. I've had myself two prior breast reduction surgeries. I feel you, and I know exactly how you feel but from experience a bra does make a difference. I hope you end up getting a doctor that does listen to you.
May I ask why you’ve had to have so many reductions?
@@Spinelli_Blues Same situation with you I didn't like the end size of my boobs. I was going for a smaller size as well. I felt like it was my fault because I wasn't very clear to the surgeon.
So after surgery like say a yr a person has to still wear those supportive bras so that the boobs dont grow back? Or is it so they dont sag? Also when the skin stretches does that make the boob bigger?
@@bbygrlpt2 Hi, no, I do not think
you have to wear a supportive medical bra all the time, but I do think one has to wear a bra any type that you wish; just wear some type of support. It's only so they don't sag and consequently stretch the skin; and yes they do sag the skin and in my opinion do make your boobs bigger. I increased two sizes post pandemic. I might of increased my weight too, but that's another story.... I actually read that most breast reduction surgeries need a second surgery after ten years after first surgery. I was actually exactly ten years due after my first surgery I'm not sure if that was the reason I needed a redone.
My friend had a reduction and her insurance paid for some of it. I would be afraid to go to the same doctor, especially if the surgeon has some resentment from seeing your grievance on UA-cam. A good professional doctor would have said, we will redo the surgery for free. I had lipomas removed and the doctor said if we missed any, just come into my office and I'll remove them. Doctors don't always do the surgery the way you requested but instead of wanting to fix things at no cost, some of them are more interested in saving face. That is not a good doctor in my book.
Yes I understand this situation, I just got my second breast reduction, my first one was a desastre, one was size was 38c, the other one was 40D,, I was left with a third boob under my right arm, I waited a very long time to get it fix, now my breast looks amazing even, beautiful 38 B, the Dr who did my second surgery fixed the botched, ❤so happy now
My friend got breast implants and wanted to be a d and she’s definitely a double if not ddd it’s crazy I feel like breast surgeons do stuff like this all the time cause they think people should have bigger boobs
I was looking at them, you had weight gain. It’s not bad I’m just saying that will make a difference. Did they say anything about that
That was my thought as well.
So sorry your experience wasnt great, i went from an ddd cup to a small c b cup, im in the uk, i was told that they cant tell you cup sizes as its done off weight.. in the uk with a breast reduction a breast lift is performed at the same time. My breast look amazing and if theres ever an issue then we can have a revision, also over here and issues and u would get a sexond surgery free of charge or even your money back, its shocking to hear how you were made to feel, transform clinic in the uk are amazing, i do hope your finally can get the result you desire.
Alexsis, I feel for you. The after surgery picture they looked smaller than they do now. You would have thought why did I bother? They should have done what YOU asked for not what they thought would be better!! I would be as angry as you are about them now. We spend a fortune and a lot of time researching what we want and don't want! What has happened to you is what I'm frightened of happening to me. I hope you get the outcome you wanted.
Also the reason why plastic surgeons don't want us discussing prices is because they will ALL try to charge you what they think they can get from us. When they know our profession it's like oh really, ok we can charge her this or more. Just how I was made to feel.
To anyone considering ANY type of cosmetic surgery: interview as many surgeons as you can, and ask them for references of actual patients they have operated on, who got the same surgery you are considering. Then CALL everyone on the list!
PS with the pandemic it may take a while to get in but it's worth it. His surgery center is amazing and he understands how to make things right!
The photo right after surgery looks like C's. How can the doctor know how they will progress and look like later, as in your last photo? Is there a way the doctor could have predicted this?
Did you try losing weight my friend lost 20 lbs and her breast got smaller
This is literally my fear with getting this surgery. I'm definitely still doing it but I really hope I'll be as small as I want
First off sorry for your story I got a reduction. 100 percent covered by insurance. So for 20,000 you should have gotten exactly what you wanted. I’m so happy I had this done.
Thanks so much for sharing!! I'm looking to get it done and will definitely look for a doctor who is upfront with their capabilities and their philosophy - I want medium boobs for my band size, regardless of what they think will look good for my overall body. Fingers crossed for around a C for me... and you!
I hope your journey is going better.
I am a F cup and want to go to a D and I’m so nervous something like this will happen. I am hoping to have surgery late this year or early next and I keep having anxiety about it!
That’s awful. I had to pay $10,400 out of pocket because my insurance no longer covers a breast reduction even when medically necessary which mine fell under.
I was a 36DDD (or could have been bigger if I went with a 34 band size). My surgeon is male and both during the consultation and right before surgery, which was Thursday, I mentioned wanting to be as small as possible so A cup if possible. I know there would be no guarantee on size (which my surgeon also mentioned), partly because of needing to keep enough tissue to to keep the nipples alive. My surgeon was fine complying with trying to get me to an A/B cup. I’m not sure which it came out/is going to come out to as the months go by so we’ll see. I’ve never liked being large on top and want to be able to eventually wear tops and dresses out without needing a bra or being able to wear a strapless bra. And not having to double up on bras for intense workouts, etc.
My surgeon never mentioned about trying to match my curves which is good (I think I’m a Pear shape?…I’ve never been good at figuring it out). I do have some more weight to lose.
I’m sorry for what you went through and that you didn’t get the results you wanted. I hope you’re able to get a revision that makes you feel better.
I went with a surgeon through my hospital network.
Props to you for not bad mouthing but I’m sooo tired of these doctors getting away with this stuff. They have hero complexes and are so arrogant and entitled and insensitive I’m so over it. It’s so funny how also my doc told me it’s gonna take me a week to heal (he’s a man) and that I’ll be back at work by then. I’m a server for a steakhouse with heavy plates and and he knows that. So upsetting it’s funny
And your hair looks great and very healthy
I completely understand wanting them smaller. My preferred size is 2 sizes smaller than most surgeons would want to give me. But I'll be arguing that the less breast skin I have, the better off I am as a diabetic w a history of skin ulcers.
As for the cost, I'm Australianso I'll get some money back from Medicare, our universal health system.
You should call this clinic out because clearly they were giving you the run around
It is not unreasonable to be extremely unhappy to pay for a service and then not receive what you asked for. I would be so upset. I’m so sorry.
Thank you for sharing such an important part of your life, I salute your strength and courage.. keep your head up ! ! God Bless
I am 8 days post op. I went from a H to a C (its looking like). I went to the Bunke Clinic on Castro St in SF. Was covered by insurance. They did an anchor and I had drains for a week
Your beautiful, but Most videos i've seen from your blogs i've noticed you have no compression bra on or any form of support. Ive had a breast reduction and i love mine so much, that being said, i was constantly in a surgery bra as skin naturally stretches. In my opinion one really needs to really take care of (their girls) and watch our weight and make sure they are constantly supported in the chest ect. Taking care of your our new chest is very important part of a breast reduction and i believe it makes a massive difference. The surgeon can unfortunately only do so much and we have to keep them maintained, I hope you find a surgeon who can get you to your desired size. You are beautiful with whatever size. Thanks for the video.
Am happy I watched your video, it will definitely help me as I am considering a lift/ reduction. I will try to share my Journey
What size are you now? Wanting to be a c is really understandable. I had a D and I am now a B. I would have liked to be an A. It is better to measure your size because cups are not accurate enough. I told my surgeon please make them as small as possible not even mentioning the cup size. If that surgeon does not know what a size c is, you are in trouble. I can’t tell you what this doc was doing. Cup sizes are inaccurate
I suggest Cerulean Plastic Surgery in Calgary -they do the lolly pop incision.
Hi dear! I fully understand how you feel: I have reduced my breasts last month but it is not as small as I would have needed. I have serious cervical problems. I'll wait a year and then see if I can do it again
1. You DO look gorgeous. It’s been 8 months from your surgery till now, don’t know where you are in your journey.
2. Fat implants can move.
3. You were NOT instructed NEARLY WELL ENOUGH as to how the Dr figured out how to size your breasts
For smaller breasts on you you might have to have a smaller rib cage than you do.
They just didn’t give you enough information
I’m a retired RN.
You DO look gorgeous.
Dr Terry Dubrow used to be in Beverly Hills or Orange County
BUT
I would leave you alone.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry you had to go through all that… I will probably be needing a breast surgery at some point to remove implants I have, and I will probably be using the beauty broker to find a credible surgeon. Have you heard of her?
How can it not be achievavle? They can make you any size you requeest, all the way down to nearly flat- the screwed up bottom line and wont own up to it. What a debacle. Sorry you have to go through this Alexis!
hi not true depends on your tissue density blood supply so you don't lose your nipples. That's why sometimes they can't take you all the way down to very flat. Usually 3-4 cup sizes down is safe. If you were very big to begin with and want to be flat flat you would need to do a full masectomy then breast reconstruction
.
Wishing you the best for sharing your story very courageous.
I had breast reduction surgery and I regret mine I was a J now I'm a D and I had complications as well
Thanks for this video. I plain have a reduction and I have breast that similar shape. I definitely understand because they hang lower as you age & I'm older.
So, being as the doctor gave a reason/excuse as to why he won’t redo the operation to reduce your breasts, did the doctor offer you your money back?
