I’m apprehensive of being under anesthetic for any time at all and have had terrifying reactions / experiences from it . The recovery time also is a factor as is possible cost . If it were less invasive I’d do it in a heartbeat . I hate hate hate having all this extra fat and tissue and don’t feel it matches the rest of my body . I just feel clothing looks and hangs so much better without breasts in the way , lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413550 Thu, 21 May 2026 20:25:57 +0000 Peri 2413550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I asked about this a year or two ago and got the positive and encouraging answers that you are getting. So far I've just been too scared...of the surgery, the recovery and the limitations. Silly to be scared when I haven't even checked it out! And the wistful thinking always grows when hot weather hits. These girls are heavy and the bras they require (36 DD) feel so hot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413522 Thu, 21 May 2026 14:27:14 +0000 Sisi 2413522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Janet</b> and <b>Angie</b>. My intolerance for my full bust&nbsp;&nbsp;increases as Summer approaches, when it's difficult to find a bikini that covers me well ... but at the end, I "chicken out" . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413520 Thu, 21 May 2026 13:56:59 +0000 Angie 2413520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sisi,</b> I don't know the details personally, although I have some clients and past colleagues who have had breast reductions. It was life changing for them. Sooooo much more comfortable physically and emotionally. There are hairlines scars too. Undetectable.&nbsp;</p> <p>I totally get the apprehension of&nbsp;anesthesia.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413514 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:49:06 +0000 Janet 2413514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for asking about this! </p> <p>I have a friend a couple years older than I am who had one two years ago and she is thrilled. She doesn’t need a bra anymore and feels so much better. </p> <p>I have always had a significant bust, even from my teenage years, and even at my lowest weight. I’m currently a 32G and I know women who wear a smaller cup size than I do who have had reductions. I think the only thing that’s saved me for this long is that I never had children, so the boobs have stayed *relatively* level if not perky until very recently. But I have had dents in my shoulders for years, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to have bras fit well, feel comfortable, and do their job of lifting and supporting. At the age of 60, I’m kinda feeling I’ve had enough and would like one less obstacle to my comfort. I don’t want to lose a lot — I’m hourglassy in build and want my upper half to balance out my wide hips — but it would be nice to go down to maybe a D instead of G. I have a narrow back and I just feel a bit thick with this much volume on the front of my chest. A slight reduction and lift would appeal to me. </p> <p>I do wonder how long I would have to wait to resume exercise (3x a week Pilates and walking 4-5 miles a day). I’m a little scared of surgery — the only other procedure I’ve ever had was my laparoscopic hysterectomy 13 years ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413505 Thu, 21 May 2026 07:04:12 +0000 Sisi 2413505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Robin and Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413501 Thu, 21 May 2026 02:02:29 +0000 Sal 2413501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My very close friend had one about two years ago and has been delighted.&nbsp; Mainly it was related to her sore back, with the weight of the breasts.&nbsp; It is limiting with some things initially but she thinks it was most definitely worthwhile!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413442 Wed, 20 May 2026 13:22:46 +0000 RobinF 2413442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one about 4 years ago. Mine was considered a lift rather than reduction (34DDD to 34C-D depending on the bra) but they did remove some weight so not sure why. I got it on a Friday and was back to work on Monday. I was uncomfortable for a few days and had to sleep propped up but recovery wasn't too bad for me. I also did not have to have drain tubes which can make recovery more difficult. I had a very sore throat for a few days because of the breathing tube, like hard to swallow. But that went away.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was totally worth it. I didn't have much of the pain others experience due to large breasts but I was often uncomfortable and sweaty, besides feeling very self conscious. So much better now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breast-reduction#post-2413433 Wed, 20 May 2026 12:35:45 +0000 Sisi 2413433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet's</b> comment to <b>BJ1111</b>'s<b>&nbsp;</b>post reminded me that I've been wanting to ask something for a while: have any Fabber ever had a breast reduction? A few years a go I went to a surgeon to discuss it, it is doable but what scares me to death is three hours of general anesthesia.&nbsp; </p>
