Breast reduction

Has anyone had or is considering a breast reduction.
I'm currently 38G n soo uncomfortable..
I have pimples n sores under my armpits from where the wire bows out n pokes me all day..
I get terrible underboob sweat..
I hate the massive beige or white or black bras I get to choose from.
Just basically sick n tired of being eyed up n talked to at chest level..
The back n neck pain r on another level.


I have money saved..
Just looking for reassurance and
a few kind words by ladies who have been thru the procedure..
many thanks
Thanks

Yes I had a breast reduction almost 10 years ago and I was a 38JJ so you can imagine my discomfort. I went to a 38DD.

It was definitely worth it. But if you have any weight too loose I would try my hardest to
loose it and shape up before your surgery as once my boobs were gone which dominated my figure it made my big tummy (which was previously over shadowed by my boobs seem even more prominent afterwards). I didn’t have mine done until I was in my mid 40’s which was after I had had my children, when we could afford it and when I had plucked up the courage (as I was pretty scared of the op). But I really wished I had done it when I was younger.
I wouldn’t do it for coloured bras a good bra specialist or Bravissimo had good choice of coloured bras.

DH loved my big boobs too ( I think he loved getting lost in them). But he was very supportive as he saw how upset I was with all comments (many made in front of him) that I received etc. But actually he also loved and loves my new tiny pert breast’s a lot too.

My dh also liked my boobs! He has got used to the smaller ones though and I am far more body confident now, which he likes!

I do have a bit of a tummy as well, but it’s made me look slimmer in that area overall - I am narrow around my ribs and have some ab definition at the very top (before you get to my belly button, where it all goes wrong....) the reduction has made this area more obvious and the overall impression is a neater torso. So it can work the other way too.

@UnapologeticallyUnhinged thanks for the info. Food for thought!
