Re: My Breast Reduction
They look awesome! And who cares why you had it done? I understand curiosity, but when people turn it around and try to judge you based on your response, it's annoying. You got it done for medical reasons, awesome, I hope you feel great soon. If you HAD gotten it done for cosmetic reason, awesome, I hope you feel great soon. As long as you're happy then rock on with your perfect titties! |

Re: My Breast Reduction
Exactly. I will admit that I wasn't the most confident without a bra (naked), but considering the fact that a pound and a half (~600g) was removed altogether and I'm still a 34C or D, that's impressive. :P

Re: My Breast Reduction
I basically feel healed. Scabs have come off, some loose stitches have come out, and I am not tender. Plus, they're awesome and soft again. |

Re: My Breast Reduction
Sweet! I applaud you really. i'm a 44dd myself and have thought bout getting reduction done just because of the back pain alone. my only question coming to mind right now is, if you dont mind me asking, roughly what was the cost for this? |

Re: My Breast Reduction
Just like to say here, that even if they dont always look bigger than they are, doesnt mean the size isn't right. there is still the overall size of your chest and a bit of your sides that factor into measuring a bust for a proper size. overall, naturally large chested women don't always show as happy perky perfect boobs in place, like the "perfect in place" fake ones. |

Re: My Breast Reduction
I can attest to that. Mine have never been perky and I know that I need to upgrade my bra again. I'll move up to at least a 42G. For those who aren't bra-size-savvy, think of it this way (and I'm really dumbing it down here). The number is the number of inches around the torso under the breasts. It is known as "band size" and is usually rounded up to the nearest even number. The band should fit comfortably around the torso on the hook(s) closest to the end. As the bra gets older, it will stretch a bit and the second and third rows of hooks will help tighten. The band shouldn't pinch or sag. The letter or "cup" is the tricky thing. Everyone knows how to use a tape measure for the band, but cups are wacky. They go A-DD and then messy from there. You have your DDD (or E or F), DDDD (or E or F or G), E (or F or G), EE (or F or G)..... It all depends on the manufacturer. Anything after DD is a crap shoot and you can't reliably say what size is correct unless you have a proper fitting and even then will need to know the right sizes in other brands. For cups, testing with an underwire bra is best. The underwire should rest under the breasts against the crease where the breasts meet the chest. The underwire should lay flat against the ribs and fully surround the lower half of the breast. It should not poke or stab. The part that connects both cups in the middle, what I call the breast plate for lack of a better term, should lay flat against the sternum. The breasts should not fall out, or strain against the cups. The cups should not have a significant amount of space while the breasts are in them. Then comes the straps and where the band lays. The straps should not slide or dig. This means the bra is either too big or too small. Tightening the straps is acceptable but if the bra is not the proper size, the straps will dig. Or slide. The band of the bra should lay on the tips of the bottom of the shoulder blades, not the middle. One should be able to comfortable reach back to undo the hooks. If the bra rides up, the bra does not fit properly and the support system becomes void. As you can see, figuring out the proper size is a royal pain and most women do it wrong. Most women wear out their bras until they break instead of buying new ones every three to six months. The bigger the breasts, the quicker the bras will wear down. This is especially true if the same bra is worn every day (like with me because my pretty red one broke). Not hand washing bras breaks them down faster. In general, a woman should replace bras every three to six months (going longer if you have 50 of them or are a small size). A woman needs at least four bras: A comfortable bra that could be worn daily, a sports bra, a bra that can be worn with low-cut tops, and a fancy/special occasion bra. And don't get me started on sports bras. That's a whole other ball game. So, guys... women in general have to be geniuses when it comes to figuring out bras. Those who do it properly are goddesses basically. All you have to do is figure out how to take them off (with your teeth). |
