I am 32 and wore a 38h bra. I have had 2 children and my breasts stayed bigger with both. I have been going to the chiropractor and massage therapy for 3-5 years to relieve the back/shoulder pain and the headaches I was having. I have been wanting to do this for a while but I wanted to wait until I was done having children. My baby was born in 8/01 and I couldn’t wait any longer!!! I am so glad I didn't! It has been only 3 weeks and I am almost back to normal (without the big boobs). I checked in for my surgery and went through the questions and the drawing on me. Once I was given the stuff to calm you down before surgery, I was out!! I was asleep when I went into surgery I never saw the operating room. I woke up 5 hours later and was not in that much pain at all! My shoulder hurt the most from being propped up with pillows. I was given oxygen so I wouldn't have the nausea (it worked too!) And the pain meds during the night. I was released the next morning and went home to bed. I stayed in bed that day and the next two except for brief periods (1-2 hours) but I felt pretty good! The discomfort is mostly from the swelling. I hardly had any bruising (one little spot) when I got home, I applied the arnica gel (a must) and the bruising was gone. I also took bromelain (an enzyme) to relieve the swelling. Both are terrific and I am still using them. I love my new boobies- I am making everyone look at them (weird how they are artwork instead of boobs after the surgery!)
Anyone considering the surgery...
I say.... Go for it!!!

About 70 percent of young women try to lose weight. That dissatisfaction with their body weight stays with them into adulthood.
