BREASTS

34B Barely before kids
38C after kids

Now...faker than a Hooter's girl....I have Implants that don't shrink (reconstruction after mastectomy), swelling under my arms from lymph node removal - saggy skin from the excess fluid, PERFECT (I am healthy and loved, I really don't care about the other stuff)


if you opt to have a reduction - go to a plastic surgeon recomended by your physician and try to find others who have used them. Also - ask LOTS of questions and be very specific about shape size, etc.

I have not had a reduction but I had reconstruction which was by far more emotional than my bi-lateral mastectomy at 34. I expected perfection but was a bit embarrassed to say it to the doctor and was surprised when it was done (in a bad way) but over time things are great. My point to my rambling had I asked more questions and been very more specific with my expectations, I would probably have ended up with the results I have now (maybe a little lift/higher) but without all of the emotional trauma.

Good luck!

Mine have haven't changed. I've been a 34/36 C since high school (except during pregnacy and breastfeeding)

I have friends who lose them first, and I have a friend that everytime she gains they get bigger and they never get smaller when she loses. She has really, really big boobs now.

Losing weight never helped to reduce my breast size.
A breast reduction did! :bigsmile:

This was so the case for me! I'm telling ya, losing weight doesn't always make them go and I hated having big boobs. Come on now, what are ya gonna do with a 38DDD? They get in the dang way!

and to add my own breastesus to the mix here.

I was 32A when I was 20

added 3 kids and 50 pounds

36c

lost 27+ pounds

still 36C with no back fat.

there is my story

I dont believe U.
I need proof.

:bigsmile:

My husband doesn't want my boobs to be smaller because than he said I will look fatter. Go figure.....I would be happy as a DD.

First off, they are your boobs and it's your back pain. Tell him to BUTT OUT. Or strap two 5 lbs weights to his chest and make him live life for a week. Then see if he tells you to keep 'em!

Second, I've had a reduction. My first concern was that suddenly my gut stuck out further than my boobs and I felt super fat. However, weight loss helped my stomach shrink, and a better bra helped push the girls up high and perky, so they stick out further than the gut. DO NOT DISREGARD A BREAST REDUCTION BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID THE BOOBS KEEP YOU LOOKING SLIM. It's not true. I look back at old pictures and wonder why in the world I kept those things around for so long! One year after my reduction, I am super duper happy with them.

I agree with Lauryn. It has been almost 2 years since my reduction and I am very happy with how everything looks. I am working on losing my belly now so I am not worried about it sticking out farther than my boobs. men just don't get it! If it was them it would be a different story. You have to do whatever makes you feel better about you!!!

You guys can pass some of that excess boobage my way.... really, I wouldn't mind at all!

I think it'd be nice to be able to buy a bra that wasn't baggy on me (I'm a 38, they automatically think women with a 38" strap should be C or bigger - there are very few styles with a B cup, but those are even too big for me!)

:blushing:

Lol, don't even complain. Try finding a bra in size 32 F. I have to go to specialty stores and pay like $200/bra! :explode: I would GLADLY give you two cup sizes or more. Lol.

Hmmmm, I'm a 36AA. I thought that was a bigger size than A but not quite big enough for B. Eh, no. It's Almost A.

:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

leave it up to the men to want visuals! Keep thinking you do!!
