Despite losing 25 kilos, my boobs are still huge. And bloody heavy. I’ve had constant neck and back pain from carrying around more than a kilo of boobage for the last 20 years.

I’ve always dreamed of having a breast reduction. But I knew I would never have one until I had finished having children. I wanted to breastfeed and that’s not guaranteed if you have a breast reduction. I am now officially finished having children. I did expect to finish a little earlier in life, but as circumstances turned out, I didn’t finish having children until my late thirties.
I went to see one surgeon locally and the photos she showed me of her handiwork were horrific and I preferred my saggy old boobs to the new and improved ones she showed me. My husband was equally horrified. So when I told him I was going to see another surgeon, he was more than supportive.
I am a little scared though. I’m worried about whether I will like them smaller and if I will still feel like myself. I trust the surgeon and I have made him promise not to make my boobs too small. I definitely would feel odd if I went from an E cup to an A cup. I still want to have medium sized breasts and a nice cleavage.

Modern surgery is generally safe, though it always carries a risk; complications can and do occur. Most of the women I have spoken with did not experience any complications, though I know of one poor woman who had to have repeated corrective surgery when her nipple and areola died, which sounded very traumatic. While I knew

You and I have breasts, but that doesn’t mean we really understand how they work! I don’t remember learning much about breasts in high school biology (it would have been mortifying in a co-ed school). It is important to understand the anatomy of the breast so that you can understand what’s involved in breast reduction surgery.

While many women choose to wait until they’ve finished having children and breastfeeding before having a reduction, for others, this isn’t an option.
