Breast reduction?

Has anyone here had a breast reduction? I am seriously considering it, but I'm thinking I should get to my "ideal" weight before I do it. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on it....

I'll take what you get rid of!!!!!

I had a friend who did it and she was overweight. Now she is losing weight and is getting itty bitty. I suggest waiting. How much BF do you have?

That's what I'm afraid of. Although even when I was at my ideal weight I was a DD. Good Lawd, I probably don't even WANT to know how much BF I have. Too much??? I'm about 20-25 lbs. overweight right now. Can't shake those baby lbs.

I would say that I would need to see pics of the breasts before I go making a snap judgement. For scientific purposes, of course.

I go from a 36d when bulking at a thick weight to a 34c... big decrease. I would definitely see where you end up first before surgery. Losing fat is the best way to naturally decrease size.

Well it's nearly impossible to tell with your clothes on. Your really should take the top off so that your family members at IM can better judge them.

I am sorry but I really don't believe that's possible, post a before and after pic to convince me.

You should not have surgery. What exactly about your breasts is so problematic that you would subject yourself to the potential complications of surgery?

Anyone who is overweight should never get breast reduction surgery. The percentage of a woman's breasts which are fatty tissue can vary dramatically, but all women's breasts have a significant amount of fatty tissue. Thus, if you lose fat your breasts will get smaller. A DD breast is not so large as to be a hindrence in your life (the size you say you were when you were thinner).

Exercise at least 5 days a week and control your caloric intake (no need to starve, just reduce your intake a bit) and you will be fine in no time.

Thanks for the advice. As I said before in the thread, even when I was at my leanest,(which was after my second child.) they were a DD. A very full DD. I know how to lose weight, I just never seem to lose my boobs, no matter how much I lose. My sister lost a ton of weight and hers are itty bitty now. That doesn't happen with me. My question wasn't if I should get it done, but when.
Thanks though.
Thanks!!!

Ask them to make a third boobie with the tissue they take off.

But of course!! Wait, who are you? Are you me? OD? I'm lost....

I would suggest losing the weight first like mnay have already mentioned...i have seen dramatic reduction in breast size in women who drop weight....and I have seen women drop weight and keep their normal breast size...so just do it and find out how you respond and go from there.

I had a good friend of mine have the brest reduction surgery and she loved it...she was very large on top and thin everywhere else...had lots of back problems...had a hard time working out and playing sports and she did get a reduction but was still fairly large by most peoples standards...plus she looked more normal in clothes and got alot less perverted stares below the neck line.

Bottom line...do what YOU want and what makes you comfortable...it is YOUR body after all.

GIRL trust me, most of that is fat. You will lose a lot of boobage when you drop your body fat. When you start dropping fat, the boobs are one of the first things to go. I didn't believe it until it happened to me. I was ready to start saving for a breast reduction, and now I think I'm gonna start saving for a breast lift on the itty bitties I have left instead.

I just wasn't sure if getting it done and continuing to lose weight would make them saggy or look funny. Thanks for the info!!

Take a look here. It is a web ring of just woman with Breast augmentation.
You can find a doc in your erea, see before and after pics, and discuss it with woman who are facing the same decision you are.

What is it with woman? Nice chest long beutiful hair. Boob reduc and a hair cut later. Some one help me understand this.

RR please don't reduce them! I agree its mostly fat and a lot of that will reduce. Feel fortunate that you seem to carry most of your fat cells there though. If you reduce them that means cutting out fat cells (which won't reproduce) and this will result in fat having to be stored elsewhere first. For most women this will be under your arms or butt and it will look grotesque since it will swell up disproportinaly in places where you do not have as much.

Besides you should be happy with those puppies even if they cause you some discomfort. Just toss em over your shoulder

.

But I bet you will be a whole lot more comfortable if you go on a fitness transformation and see how they shape up and reduce. I have seen this with a lot of women and many complain that they don't have anything after they get below 15% bf. So you would probably look awesome (ok more awesome ok?) if you went nuts on the diet and gym. Besides, there are medical risks anytime you go under the knife. I'd recommend you also talk to your husband about it since he has a vested interest too.

RR ... even though you were at an ideal body weight at one time, what about your BF% at that time. Perhaps once you get to your 'ideal' body weight, you could still lose some body fat. Just a thought. I agree with the masses, wait till you've reached what you consider your ideal body weight and body fat % and go from there.

ditto...body composition is more important for long term health than scale weight. you should aim for around 20% body fat then see...
