Once upon a time, I was part of the Big Boob Club. My left breast was triple D, the right was a regular D (I had something called congenital breast asymmetry, and it’s more common than you’d think). I had back pain, could never get comfortable when I went to bed (stomach sleepers, rise), and working out with massive boobs was less than inspiring. All of the above inspired me to get a breast reduction (plus a lift and some liposuction because, frankly, why not?!).
Long story short: it changed my life, and I’d tell anyone considering getting a reduction to go full steam ahead (after a proper consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon, of course). But as with any procedure that requires anesthesia, there are so many things I wish someone had told me before going under the knife. Your nipples look weird and crinkly for months, silicone scar tape is much more effective than the drugstore scar gel, and plunging neckline surgical bras exist, so you actually won’t be super restricted in the wardrobe department.
