Anyone had? Thinking of having it even though it's way expensive... friends saying I'm nuts as major surgery long recovery. Interested in hearing of anyone's experiences good or bad?

Not helpful but I want this too...
Had massive breasts for over 20 years and just want to enjoy my body n clothes now without feeling constantly conscious of them...

i had a mastopexy at age 62. Best thing I ever did.
Long acting freezing means little to no pain, modern home convinces made recovery easy.
By day 2 I was able to gently reload the dishwasher, transfer laundry washer to dryer, prep veggies.
By week two doing most household chores, back to more robust walking for fitness.

I had a breast reduction in 2017! I went from a 34G/H to a lovely 34D. My boobs are unchanged even after child birth although I wasn't able to breast feed as my nipples were taken off and re placed! Recovery time was maybe 3 weeks in total? 100% worth it! I paid £6400 and went to spire

I had a breast reduction about 19 years ago.

Best thing I ever did. Went from 32E to a C
My boobs were bosoms not boobs so I looked matronly
Recovery time was minimal. Had a few days taking it easy then started doing stuff that wasn't reaching over head.

Pain was totally non existent and I was refusing pain relief the day after.
