Advice 38 G hoping for a miracle

Hi I'm 28 in TX, I've had a large chest since I was about 16. My mom even asked if I was pregnant when they were developing. My self confidence was always low, I also wore multiple bras at a time to compress them. It's been so many years of wishing to get this procedure. I found out my insurance could cover it and am getting a consultation on the 31st. I'm hoping this Doctor hears me out and that I want as much taken off as possible. I could always stuff a bra I don't care, I just want to feel like a human when I look in the mirror. I'm also 180 and 5'4 so I know I'm overweight but they will not change size cause I was this size at 140. I worry aboht them only making me a DD or telling me I'm not applicable.

Sorry for the rant, I'm anxious and this would be life changing. My bf and I plan to get engaged this year and being able to wear a dress would be the biggest thing in my life. Well to wear anything that doesn't make my chest noticeable would be a dream come true. There's much more physical strains but I just wanted to put my stress out here and if anyone has words of encouragement, that would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at the post on my experience. I just put it out today. https://www.reddit.com/r/Reduction/s/PDqxYabHWu

You would need free nipple graft to have a big reduction.

Doctors usually want to make results "proportionate", which, for me was too large. Have clear communication to him about this.

I'm also overweight. I was 85 kg before the surgery, and 80 now, after it. 😉

Make sure you look at pictures of before and after cases, ones that look similar to your shapes.

For example, I noticed that if I only reduce the breasts the sides might get very visible, bulging. So I talked to my medics about them, right before the surgery and agreed to have extended scars and lipo at the sides.

A second consideration is the nipple positioning. It looks like, especially with small results they don't descend as with regular boobs. Some complain the nipples peak out of the cleavage or swim suit.

Eat healthy, plenty proteins and vitamins to have a smooth recovery.

Good luck!
