“She Had Back Problems, Man!”: Getting a Breast Reduction
You know that scene in Superbad, where Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are talking about the girl who got a breast reduction and Jonah Hill says, “Why would she do that? It’s like slapping God in the face.”
Well, several weeks ago, I “slapped God in the face.”
Sure, the road to recovery is a bumpy one: Pain like you wouldn’t believe, that can’t even be fixed by prescriptions. The healing of scars. Ruining every bra with ointments to help me get better…
But all the negatives aside, here are my favorite things about my breast reduction thus far.
Hi, my face is up here: You can’t believe how refreshing it is to have guys look at my face instead of just my chest. I used to have full-on conversations with people and their eyes somehow stayed fixated on my chest the entire time. Classy, right? It’s nice to be reminded that some people in this world do make eye contact.
Cutest bras EVER: Why didn’t Victoria’s Secret ever make fun bras in my old size?
Whoa, my clothes fit: I like that now I can “fill out” my tops in lieu of “spill out” of my tops. Now I don’t look like my boobs are overflowing all of my dresses.
I CAN DO THAT?: I can now comfortably touch my toes, run without my back or neck spazzing out every five seconds, wear one bra to the gym instead of two and borrow shirts from people without being scared that I’d stretch them in the wrong places.
The positives outweigh the negatives for sure, and the only thing I can say is: sh*t, I wish I did this sooner.

I "slapped God in the face" coming on three years ago, and it was the best thing I ever could have done for myself! Not only can I touch my toes, but I can SEE my toes! Oh, and the bra and shirt shopping still hasn't gotten old! Sure, I still have scars, and probably always will, but they don't bother me, and my fiance always says that they're just not noticeable. It's a procedure that, after giving it plenty of thought and finding the right doctor, I highly recommend to anyone whose breasts are getting in the way of their life.

How much did it cost?
Did you lose your perkiness?
What size were you originally and what did you go down to?
If you could do a 2nd article on the specifics like how to find a good doc, the risks, the after effects, whatever, would be so helpful!
Thanks :]

Hey Hilary!
1. My procedure was all covered by my insurance policy (check with your doctor or go into a well-recommended surgeon for a consultation).
2. Perkiness was not lost, it was added! In fact, the procedure not only removes, but also lifts and reshapes.
3. I went down two cup sizes, but you can't base it on bra-size. I was spilling out of DDs – DDDs and now I can comfortably fill out D cup and C cup bras. Sizes in bras are like sizes in clothes: they don't matter!
I'll definitely do a second article with more information!

As someone who has had this when I was 14 ( my mother and grandmother had one at the same age) I am happy with the results except the scars and the fact that i will never be able to breast feed but other than that it was paid by my insurance and im glad i did it.

I also had breast reduction surgery about 3 years ago and am still unbelievably happy that I did. I also have scars (guys seem to be ok with that though) and it was painful, but i’m so happy that I did. Before I would have terrible back pain and thought about those damn boobs all the time, now I rarely think about them at all (seriously. a total blessing). I went from a 38DDD to a 38D (still pretty big, but more proportional). It took about 4 days of bed rest, then light activity after that, and my insurance paid for mine too. My advice to any other ladies considering this procedure would be to make sure your doctor is noting in your records every time you complain about back pain. That’s the reason my insurance took care of mine.
Slapping God in the face? I don’t think so. Do what’s right for you.

I've considered doing this. I'm rather short so having a Double D bra can be a little awkward at times.
But I'll probably end up chickening out.

I think my boobs are annoying, but not large enough to get a breast reduction…I did jump from a 34B to a 36D in like a year though.. so hopefully they don't get too much bigger.
If they do– I know what to do lol..

Considering I’m a 48 G, yeah, I need a reduction. Badly. But my insurance won’t cover it all unless I drop another 20 pounds, so. :\

I've considered this but as a 32F, I'm just a *little* too small for my insurance to cover it. So frustrating.

Went from 34DD to 34B a year ago great. Gone up again to a C as put on weight. Wud like another reduction and is it pos to have fat/silicon in nipples to make them 'puffy'?
