Breast reduction/uplift

[Lulu Goss]

So...I had my consultation and I just feel devastated. I’ve cried the whole way home. Although I had an hour with him I just feel like it wasn’t what I expected. I know they have to advise you of all the things that could go wrong but I felt it was quite off putting and there were a lot of things about the procedure I feel I didn’t understand as he explained it. He spent the first 25 mins I think just going over how they do these ops and explaining all the things that go wrong so I sat and listened. When it came to me asking questions we agreed it would probably be more helpful if he looked at me first so he could see where I’m at.
But then when he examined me and took measurements he said that he wouldn’t be able to make much of a difference and that I would have a lot of scarring for not a lot of benefit and that I need to think very hard about it as he doesn’t think he can get me what I want. And that was the end of the appointment, there wasn’t a chance to ask any questions I guess as it felt like he was saying to me there would be no point going ahead.
The thing is I didn’t even show him a picture or say anything I feel was unrealistic, all I told him was that they feel too big and sag and I feel completely unsupported without an underwired bra and want them to be smaller and lifted. I feel really confused tonight. My boobs aren’t enormous, he and the nurse both seemed surprised that I’m a 32E and said I look smaller though he did say they are very dense so weigh heavy for their size (lucky me!) I’ve come home and looked again online at before and afters and I just don’t understand what it is about my boobs that he feels he can’t do anything with.

My emotions are probably very heightened and maybe I’ve just come away feeling too negative but overall I felt he was very negative towards me having the procedure and was implying that I wouldn’t see much of a difference in exchange for the scars I would have. I feel crushed. I feel like I’m stuck wearing these ugly great big underwired bras for the rest of my life, holidays are a nightmare because of bikinis, I can never go bra less I even hate having to take my bra off to shower. It’s probably the loss of hope that it’s hardest right now, I almost wish I’d never had a consultation and just kept telling myself one day one day. I’ve already thought about getting a second opinion but the person I saw today had the absolute best of all the reviews I had read and seems to be really top of his game, if I went and saw someone else and they said they could help I think I’d be scared that they were unreliable and just trying to make money. I think I need to lick my wounds and take a bit of time away from it. Really wasn’t expecting this outcome. Still can’t stop crying.

So sorry you had a bad experience - I havent had a reduction but wanted to share this about a consultation for an enlargement I had a couple of years ago because I can relate to what you’ve said.

I’d had a boob job 5 years previously but was unhappy with the size and shape so decided to have them done again. It wasn’t a quick decision, it was something I’d considered for a year before I went for it.

I went for a consultation with one surgeon who, when I took my top off, just said “there’s nothing wrong with them”. I felt a bit embarrassed and explained what I was unhappy with and he took some measurements and then basically gave me a lecture about why I shouldn’t have them done. Same sort of thing about surgery being a big thing, lots could go wrong, I might not like the results. He was really patronising and was making it sound like I was just doing it for no reason. At one point he even asked me what my boyfriend and dad think! My mum was with me and he actually really affected what she thought about me having them done again, and she then came out of the appointment saying he was the surgeon and maybe he was right. I was fuming but also so so upset. Exactly like you said, it’s so awful being made to feel like something you really want so much might not happen. I cried on the drive home too and I was upset about it for ages as I’d been set on him being the surgeon I wanted.

A few weeks later I went to see another surgeon and he was amazing. He did tell me that there are no guaranteed results but he wasn’t negative, he understood my insecurities and was very factual about what he could and couldn’t do. He showed me photos of previous surgeries he’d done and talked everything though with me in a really friendly but professional way. He completely turned a negative experience into a positive one and I went ahead with him and couldn’t be more pleased with my results.

I know reduction and uplifts can be more complicated than enlargements/implants but if it’s something you still want to go ahead with I really would suggest having other consultations elsewhere to get other opinions. Really hope it goes well for you and you get what you’re looking for x

Hi everyone. I had a reduction and lift about 2 years ago in Lithuania - best thing ever. I was on the NHS list but it was taking forever to get done so I looked on a few forums and found the clinic I used. Cost me £2200 which is 1/3 of the UK cost.

I was a 34FF and have gone down to a dd. The recovery was so much easier then I thought it would be. I was back at work 10 days later (desk job) and had no problems with any infections - healed like a dream.

My nipples are so small now and I have full feeling in them too. I can now wear shirts which is amazing. But I didn't realise how much they hid my mum tum, now they're not detracting attention its much more noticeable. Mentally it takes a while to get used to it, I still buy booby style clothes then realise I cant fill them as much

It really was the best thing I have ever done. I cant even remember my big, hanging sacks anymore! X

 

[Ladymuckx]

I feel your pain. The smallest breasts I’ve ever had since developing was 32F. I have put on weight and now a 36J. I really struggle. I feel smothered when I sit down, always hated how I look in clothes but at the same down they’re really not pert. I ‘joke’ they roll away. I dream of having a perky C cup. My mum died of breast cancer and I worry so much that I will miss a lump because they’re so big you can’t feel properly. Would love a tummy tuck and a breaaf reduction and uplift.

Wow! That’s so incredible. Thank you for sharing your story! Do you mind sharing the clinic you went to? £2200 is actually very affordable compared to the UK

 

[Fanaff]

Thank you both! Can’t believe how nervous I am! Not looking forward to showing a stranger my boobs either hopefully I will come away feeling more confident about everything.

Honestly, I was stressing but my friend is a midwife and told me she doesn’t even notice fannys anymore so that made me think, this guy has probably seen so many pairs of boobs it’s nothing to him! He also looked at them with an eye on how to improve them so it was honestly fine!

 

[MalletsMallet]

Thank you, yep sounds like we’re at the same point, I keep feeling like I’d do it right now if I could but still very nervous. I’ve spent the past couple of months pretty much decided I want to go ahead, and just the past few days starting to look at surgeons. Feeling quite overwhelmed and emotional and going back and forth from definitely having it done to hmm well maybe. I think for me it’s 90% a vanity thing in that I can’t wear a lot of the tops and dresses I would like to and the other 10% is just what a pain in the ass they are and how uncomfortable they can be, especially in the hot weather where I hate even wearing a vest because I feel too busty so it’s always T-shirt’s.

Ive definitely been thinking about the risks and scarring and think I’ll know a lot more about that after having some consultations as well. I will keep this thread updated if people are interested.


Ah we sound so similar, it’s nice in a way to know I’m not alone and others know what it’s like, it’s not something I ever really talk about and it feels like you’re the only woman on the planet wearing an underwired bra to bed! I only take my bra off to shower too and I hate every moment of it they feel so heavy!

Its really positive to hear that you plan to still go ahead when you’re feeling ready, I hope whatever was wrong is now better. Maybe we can keep each other posted. I’m not too far from London (in that I’m not on the outskirts or anything but where I am is a driveable distance there and back in a day) so have thought about looking for surgeons there but ideally would like to stick closer to where I am. I’ve found someone who looks good but is only doing zoom consultations at the moment, there’s something about the prospect of maybe having to flash my boobs at a webcam that’s making me feel like he should be paying me

Hahaha. Absolutely!!! Haha. Actually, as part of my deep dive into research I looked on Reddit forums for girls with bigger boobs and there are A LOT of men who like a heavier boob However, it never has and never will be about pleasing anyone but you. Mind you, I do think, like you said, it's nice to know that you're not alone in your experiences etc. The Reddit forums we're a good way to get to see that there are plenty of women with similar boobs out there. Made me feel better but didn't change wanting them done.

Yeah, I think the journey home from where you get it done is definitely something to consider. I knew a girl who had it done (knew vaguely-not in touch to ask her about it) in the next city to her and the journey home the next day in the back of her mum's car really hurt. Which isn't great when you consider what you've just had done and things like road bumps etc

The surgeon should look at things like your rib cage positioning etc. as that will make a difference to overall results (mine noticed my upper rib cage is elevated which you can see when I stand to the side. This means I can get away with having smaller boobs but look like they're a bit bigger as they project quite high up).

Something else I learnt was your breast has a 'take off'. If you stand to the side and look where the first fold of your boob is- that's where your boob will 'settle. It's hard to explain, but once the swelling goes down they'll settle to that 'level'. So if your take off is low, they'll never sit super high. Which isn't a problem at all, but something the surgeon pointed out as some people think they can ask for a set of new boobs straight out of the Littlewoods catalogue but genetics will always influence the final result

Very happy to keep this open and talk about experiences.

Good luck with the consultation!!

(And thanksstructural skeletal issues rather than anything more sinister, thankfully. Getting there!).

 

[Fanaff]

I have my face to face consultation this week and I’m already full of anxiety does anyone have any tips, advice? I’m working on a list of questions but I feel like so much of the information is already out there, did anyone have anything they found to be particularly important to ask or that they forgot to ask and wishes they remembered?

I had my face to face last week, I forgot to update! Tbh, he didn’t give a whole lot more information than the zoom meeting I had. He did some measurements, ran over the time frames that I’d be in hospital/off work/not driving for etc. He was really reassuring though. Good luck!

 

[MalletsMallet]

Hi, I've always been a lurker on these threads but reading this thread caught my eye so felt the need to come and offer you my opinion as 18 months ago, I had a breast reduction and it was honestly the best decision ever. I was previously a 30H and am now roughly a 32DD/E, the difference is amazing. There may be other readers who have also had surgery but I'm happy to answer any questions??
Just to give you an idea of my journey, I too was fed up with the size of my boobs, visited my GP who referred me to the NHS surgeon. Now, I know I was extremely lucky as its really quite rare to get the op on the NHS however even had I not qualified for the surgery, it would still have been worth investing in getting he op done privately. My BMI was within the criteria, think I have a BMI of 23 and the limit is about 25/26. I didn't request a particular size but the consultant calculated how much he needed to remove and estimated that I would be reduced to a DD which may sound big but for my frame is just perfect. Your nipples are also made smaller and repositioned.
I know its classed as major surgery but my surgery went like a breeze, in 2 nights and then home to recover, I was off work for about 5 weeks, driving after 3, overall my recovery was brilliant.
Yes, they look bruised and swollen but honestly the feeling when you come out of surgery, its like been in awe of these pert little boobs. The pain was fine and manageable, i came home with drains but these were removed 2 days after coming home. Not all surgeons use drains but they are supposed to help reduce the amount of bruising as they drain the excess blood away.
I live on my own so obviously sleep on my own so I had no worries about anyone knocking elbows into me but I did use 2 pillows down my side to keep me in position on my back as you won't be able to sleep on your side for a good few weeks and you will need to wear a bra in bed for the first 12 months though I still wear one as I am paranoid about them getting droopy! Theres probably more I could tell you but one thing I can say is that its not a horrendous operation, yes surgery is probably about 5 hours (mine was only 2 and a half because I had 2 surgeons operating on me) but please don't let any nightmare experiences put you off, they will be few and far between.
Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Can't keep my eyes open but wanted to say thank you for this post and that I'll definitely be hopping on tomorrow to ask questions! Thank you

The emotional back and forth sounds natural and is probably a good thing as you’re really thinking things through. I think vanity is a completely valid reason as it’s obviously affecting your life and even those minor issues can have a big impact on your mental health - I sometimes get quite down with not being able to dress how I want, too. You sound really level headed. While researching I also read that you should talk it over with your GP even though you’re going private so they might be able to offer some support as well

Please do keep the thread updated, I’m still a long way off actually taking the plunge so would be interested in following your journey

Thank you, level headed is probably the last thing anyone who knows me would call me, in fact you might be the first to ever say it but when it comes to things like this I am absolutely going to do my research and take my time, it’s just too important. In a way I don’t think that it will ‘change my life’ but I think it will make things easier like finding underwear and nicer clothes, nicer bikinis for holidays and not so much a struggle in hot weather and I like to think it might help me feel a bit younger too, I sometimes feel like I’m always having to wear boring tops. Having lost all the weight as well (7 stone, then 1 has gone back on but that’s coming back off) I think it would help finish off my transformation a bit. I am more than happy to keep the thread updated and let people know what I learn along the way x

I feel you. I’m 22 and a 34GG, my back hurts if I don’t wear a bra for more than 15 minutes and i start to feel very insecure in clothing. Even modest clothing looks very busty on me and looks too revealing

I went to see a doctor about it, but he told me that it’s likely I won’t be able to breastfeed in the future if I went through with it and my breasts will change a lot throughout pregnancy, so I decided to wait til after I had kids to get a reduction. He also told me it wasn’t straightforward, I have to be a normal BMI (I lost a stone and then got into the ‘normal’ category), and my case would be forwarded to a panel of experts who would decide if I could have it on the NHS

but, if I didn’t want to breastfeed in the future, I would get one tomorrow if I could. If it’s making you unhappy, do it!

Thank you for sharing, I hope you will be able to go ahead one day if you still decide that is what you would like. It’s good that you’ve had the chat with your dr so you’re already a bit ahead in knowing what to expect in the first steps if you do ever go ahead. I bet there will be a lot of information to take in.

I’m sure there’s no shortage of men who like bigger boobs! I’m really lucky that I have a very loving and supportive husband who always reassures me he loves me however I am and will support whatever will make me happy.

I knew nothing at all about rib cage positioning, thank you for that I’m going to go and take a look in the mirror in a minute and have a google and see what I think mine is like. It would be a dream to just be able to select the pair you would like! I have started an album on my iPad called boobs of the sort of size I would like to show the surgeon as I think that’s probably a good starting point, I do keep my iPad password protected

Im getting very close to starting to arrange consultations so I will keep people updated, my husband keeps telling me to just do it but there’s this part of me that is still holding back just a little bit and I’m not sure why!

I know someone who had this done in her early 20's (yes, they were that big! And painful!) She is now in her 30's with 2 kids and hasn't regretted her decision once. I can't relate, I hardly need to even wear a bra but just wanted to share a positive experience that I know of.

Hi, sorry somehow I missed your post when I replied to the others. Apologies for that! It’s nice to hear that someone has had the surgery and doesn’t regret it! I would happily swap you, I’d love to be able to go bra less or just to be able to wear a pretty bralette. Maybe one day!

 

[Hinchhater1442]

Sorry, i keep thinking of things as I go along. When you have a BR, the boobs are automatically lifted so that they look perfectly pert. I find it great now that I can wear off the shoulder bardot tops and no bra. Never in a million years could I have imagined not being able to go braless without running the risk of tripping over my boobs.

I was just about to ask this! So I wouldn’t need to pay twice for reduction and lift? it’s sounding more tempting by the day!! I don’t suppose they gave you any info/stats on the likelihood of them ‘dropping’ again despite the lift? I’m so nervous that I’ll pay for it and then they’ll go back to how they are now if/when I have children

Thank you so much for posting your positive experience it’s so good to hear! And I’m really pleased for you that you are so happy with your results! At the moment I’m unsure if I need just a reduction, just an uplift or both but I guess when I start having consultations they will be able to let me know what they think is best for me.
how is your scarring and how do you feel about it? For me that’s probably the single biggest thing putting me off and I’m trying to weigh up if I’d end up feeling worse about them than I do now
With me now since I’ve lost weight, to look at me I don’t think anyone would think I was particularly big breasted and in fact they don’t feel that huge to me now compared to how they were but I just feel they’re bigger than I like and definitely too heavy for me. There’s just so much to weigh up but I am so happy to hear that you have no regrets!

 

[MalletsMallet]

Good luck, both

[WhiteRose]

Do you know what they would do differently if you wanted an uplift as well? If they remove mass and skin and reposition the nipples higher during a reduction, I don’t understand what they would do for the additional uplift part?

Sorry if I’m being stupid, it’s late Can completely see what you mean in terms of a reduction resulting in an uplifted look so confused about what the surgeon would do differently if you wanted both...

I suppose if you are happy with the actual size of your boobs but needed them lifting, you may need implants but with a reduction, they couldn't just take fat away from say underneath the nipple, it has to come from all of the breast and therefore your nipple is repositioned higher up, in the centre of the boob. Most larger breasted ladies, the boobs droop and therefore your nipple is sitting much lower, in some case pointing south. Therefore once the excess fat has been removed, your nipple is then sewn back on to sit more naturally in the centre therefore giving a prettier boob, more uplifted look.
Sorry, I probably aren't making much sense but in my head I know what I mean, I just aren't explaining myself very well!

 

[Fanaff]

That’s true, I’m sure I’ll be fine once I get there it’s just the anticipation I think. I’ve read that he’s very good at putting people at ease.

Good luck, let us know how it goes

 

[NotNineteenForever]

Hi all, I had a reduction/uplift 4 years ago, in my early 20’s, went private through Harley medical clinic (women throughout the consultation and different appointments were so lovely) and went for surgeon Mark Solomos after research online, advice from the clinic and personal preference.

It is hands down the best thing I have ever done for my self confidence and don’t regret it in the slightest, if I ever had children and ended up needing surgery again for some reason, I would in a heartbeat.

My mum also ended up having the same surgery with mark early this year too, and is happy with her results!

I’m happy to answer any questions or help if anyone would like some advice!

 

[Narc ahoy]

That's shocking asking what your boyfriend and dad think! (Your DAD! Is he even supposed to have an opinion?)
The surgeon clearly thought what men think when looking at you is far more important than what you think about your own body.

 

[Myanthony1]

No personal experience as I’m basically flat as a pancake just wanted to say that both my cousin & MIL had this done and had no problems at all until they put on weight and it all went onto there boobs. Not to put you off it’s just that they are both now bigger than ever!

 

[Lulu Goss]

Thank you so much for sharing that with me it’s made me feel a bit better. I was still tearful yesterday, today just more confused and sad. I’m sorry that you went through that experience but I’m glad it worked out in the end. My husband suggested that I go and see someone else too but like you were, I felt really set on the Dr I went to see before I actually saw him. I feel a bit beaten down by it now, I did actually feel really stupid when I walked out and still can’t work out what happened. He wasn’t rude or anything like that but I feel like maybe there was some kind of miscommunication because I can’t work out how he was able to tell me he wouldn’t be able to get me the results I want when I hadn’t really discussed what I wanted. I’m trying to go back over it all in my mind. And lots of women with many shapes and sizes of boobs have a reduction or uplift, I can’t see anything when I look at my boobs that gives me any understanding as to why it wouldn’t work for me.

I’m going to give it until after Christmas and see how I feel then. Definitely feels like I need to dust myself off and pick myself up to be able to do it again but part of me just feels like I don’t want to go through it again. But I’m sure it probably would be a good idea to and I guess I will know the time is right if I start to feel ready and want to try again. Thank you so much your words are the first that have made a difference to how I’m feeling xx

I’m glad - don’t lose hope, give yourself some time and go again if it’s something you decide you still want to do. Not sure where you are but if you’re anywhere near London/Kent, I had Dr Khan who has his own company called ReShape. Worth having a look at, as I said he was amazing!

That's shocking asking what your boyfriend and dad think! (Your DAD! Is he even supposed to have an opinion?)
The surgeon clearly thought what men think when looking at you is far more important than what you think about your own body.

I know I couldn’t believe it! My dad definitely did not have an opinion on it and even with my boyfriend, he always said it was my choice he didn’t really get involved! That surgeon was very condescending

I know there’s a risk, hoping it will be a good deterrent from the biscuits for me if I do go ahead
