Reduction nerves!

Hi all, I’m seeing a surgeon in 5 days to discuss a reduction. I’m currently a 30k and want to go to a 30D. Is that realistic? Also have many of you had infection issues as this is one of my biggest fears. Any before and after pics would be good to see so I know what my batters would look like!

Oops haha not my batters! My ‘afters’!

That is a totally realistic size!
I went from a 32JJ to a DD cup.
Don’t worry about infection, it’s not massively common. I had an open wound for 11 weeks due to healing problems (I’m a crap healer) and I went the whole time without an infection! It wasn’t until the day before my wound revision surgery that I’d finally contracted an infection and with antibiotics it was fine. Feel free to look at my photos.
Which surgeon are you seeing?

Hi Lindsey,
I went in the day you posted this, and went from 30HH to 30DD ( which will be confirmed in a few weeks) hopefully the surgeon walked you through the expectations that it’ll be in proportion, from looking online most ladies end up around a DD if they have a small frame like ours, but the surgeon is your best advisor 🙂

Omg I didn’t see the replies! I am all booked in, they had a slot left on the 13th July which is really close and I’m so excited! I’m going for the 30D with Mr Mounir. I can’t wait to get rid of these big bangers and be able to stand up straight, not have backache and be happy! Zoe-I saw your pics and they look great, Jen, have you posted any that I could see? Thanks for replying girls and hope you’re healing well Jen! X

Hi all,

I was back to work last week and then away this weekend so ran out of time to check in sorry! added up the new photos which give you and idea of week 4.

Ive accepted your requests now so you should be able to see the pictures!

Healings been no problem so far- irritating- but no problem haha

I’m not one to sit still long and my hips feel like they are increasing by the second form not exercising (I’m an eager runner normally!) so the main challenge has been sitting still and not lifting/doing housework.

nerves are natural, don’t worry though, and definitely DON’T GOOGLE ANYTHING! urgh its just full of horror stories which aren’t common- people in the US usually searching for answers, stick to the advise on here, your surgeon and nurses for tips &tc.

I have never been more body confident you won’t regret it! and ooooh the joy of not having back ache or people staring is PURE bliss!

Hi Lindsay I hope you don’t mind that I sent you a friend request. I am going to see Dr Mounir on Wednesday 9th September for my consultation. I am currently a 42L and ideally would like to be a D/DD.
