HI EVERYONE!

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS HAD A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH A BOOB LIFT? AND WHO WAS ABLE TO BREASTFEED?
Has ANYONE experienced a positive impact on their self-esteem YET NO GUILT?

I totaly understand the fact that it is better to stay natural, in order to have the best experience possible with later babies...

But who is to say that physical pain caused by big boobs is worse than psychological pain caused by saggy boobs?

If the answer was easy i wouldn't be juggling with it for over 10 yrs....

Now i know that the more years between the surgery and pregnancy the better....

And i'm already 27..... So i feel pressured to come to a final decision.
Eventhough i am not planning to have any babies in the next 6 to 8 years.

If i were planning on having babies now, i wouldn't even ponder this question.

But to know that i could have a few years of my youth with adequate breast....

Oh gosh... How selfish does that sound?

But again, it really only sounds selfish if one considers back pain to be more important than emotional pain...

And the shape of my breast, combined with the D cup, make it difficult for me in dressing, sports and in my career which is the dance world.

To conclude, i will say that it is really hard to make a decision based on the knowledge that we may regret it later.

It is like telling a child not to experiment climbing a tree, because we have been there done that, and we can simply share our experience with him, and also let him know that it could be a dangerous move.... Therefor, he must trust our wisdom.
I also feel it is like wanting to break up with someone, yet no go for it because we might realize later that he was THE ONE.

I absolutaly want women's truthful advice... I just needed to express how i feel about the situation....

Thank you for your time,
Celeste.

Here is my truthful advice:

I had a reduction because I had breasts that caused me back problems, didn't allow me to fit into normal clothes, caused my bra to make permanent, deep grooves in my shoulders, and caused me immense psychological pain because of the unwanted, constant attention they brought me. (Never mind the skin problems underneath my breasts, the fact that I couldn't find a bra to fit, or the fact that I really couldn't exercise because any bouncing caused me pain.)

I now have a ten month old daughter, and at every feeding, I have to supplement with formula, knowing that breastmilk is better for her. Knowing that I could have breastfed without supplementation if I hadn't had the surgery.

I still think it was the right decision to have the surgery, but I walk a VERY fine line on that. Part of me wonders what it would have been like to breastfeed exclusively and without taking thirty pills a day to increase my milk production. To be able to feed in public without explaining my plastic contraption.

If you feel it's the right decision for you, right now, and that your emotional pain outweighs the ability to breastfeed later, then do it. But give it some thought. Someday breastfeeding may be more important to you than it is now.

I had reduction surgery just after my 3rd child turned 1. Seriously, the surgery is a major undertaking. I thought I wanted it when I was only in a D cup, then when I was in a DD and so on. I was in a KKK when I had the surgery. I thought that a Dcup sounded so big so I was rather unhappy when I was still in a D at 4 weeks post-op. I'm in a C cup now and very happy with it. However, even looking at D bras, I can't get over how tiny they are in comparison to what I was. Anyway- All that to say this: Every body has to decide for themself what's best for them. Personally, I'd look into physical therapy, massage therapy, excercises and a good supportive bra first if I were just a D cup before I'd consider undergoing a reduction again. JMO
