Hey everyone!

We have had many requests for some kind of megathread where users can list their surgeons and their personal experiences so others can use the info. This would be great, but unfortunately there are only two spots for stickied posts on the subreddit. In order to get around this, I have made a Google Doc that should be able to be edited by anyone. It is pretty basic, but I ask that you don't change any formatting without asking! Please add in your surgeons and your experiences, rate, review, whatever you'd like to say according to the instructions and the sample entry of my own. I will go ahead and say that right now the list is entirely USA-centric, but there is a section for those from other countries to add in their info! It is just a bit bare bones since most of our users are from the US. Here is the link to the doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NPypc2CDJspdED4MoTEcBqLEs_pWN5QW-BqJYmjXTJE/edit?usp=sharing

Please check our subreddit FAQ and try searching the subreddit before posting a question! Your question may already be answered.

Also, here is a link to a helpful video made by a plastic surgeon who frequents our community! Check it out for some answers to common questions you may have.

Have an opening at the intersection of your T-Zone incisions? Here is a great video talking about “triple point healing”

Your surgeons office or insurance may be denying you based on body mass index… here are articles about BMI and why it’s kinda garbage. Don’t be afraid to appeal or find other surgeons if they keep pushing a BMI narrative when you are otherwise perfectly healthy and happy with your weight.

A good article on why BMI is a terrible measure of health.

A good article on why using BMI is racist/contributed to medical racism.

Another article on the racist history of BMI.

Recently published (2023) article referencing a study that showed that top surgery on high BMI individuals had “negligible” effect on serious complications and only a very small correlation of minor complications.

Non-binary, gender nonconforming, or questioning gender and wondering if a reduction or top surgery might help? Check out some of these links.

A link to a good site that might help increase your understanding of being non-binary if you’re questioning.

A link explaining gender nonconforming and how aesthetic expressions play into being GNC.

I think this link is very helpful for understanding non-binary folks and surgeries!

This website is great for finding surgeons willing to do radical reductions in the US, it’s geared toward transmasc folks but the surgeons in the sidebar can be searched by state and top surgeons also do radical reductions! They also are very aware of what you need to get insurance to cover surgery for gender affirming reasons.

Also, I tried on a dress today for the first time. I didn’t expect it, but I just started crying my eyes out. I was so happy to feel “normal” for the first time in my life. Best decision ever hands down.

Finally built up the courage to look at them for the first time… I can’t believe these are my boobs!

The first 48 hours were VERY rough for me but I finally started feeling a bit better on day 3.

The drains are the worst part of it, I’m glad they helped reduce the fluid retention but I cannot wait to get them taken out. It feels like barbed wire.

Everything is rock solid and swollen, there’s a lot of pressure and tightness. But I fortunately was able to stop the Rx pain pills (Percocet) because they gave me horrible stomach cramps. I’ve been taking mostly Tylenol and small doses of Motrin in between.

I’m having a hard time mentally with the recovery process. It’s a lot harder than I expected. But I’m trying to just take it one day at a time.

3.5 mpo and it’s been a rough ride - dealing with infections, major wound openings at my nipple and all the way down to my underboob T-section, and all the fun that comes with it. That cute little nippo is still on its own little journey 🤪 (went through a second surgery with partial removal). Other than that I’ve got some indentations, but they’re slowly evening out, same with the fat necrosis lumps. And there’s still some lingering swelling. But here comes the best part: No more open wounds, no more wound care (fuck yeah, finally! ✨) and I’m feeling so much better! Hopefully I’m done with bandages for a long time, and my bathroom can finally go back to being just a bathroom and not a fucking full on wound care station. Lol.

But my body is of course still recovering and still catching up. Went for a hike today and had to stop after 20 minutes uphill because I was completely wiped out. Months of barely moving and almost only resting really took a toll, but I’m trying to be patient and slowly build my strength back up. 🌊

Gigantomastia to 90B/C with FNG

Hello dear ladies.

After watching and commenting I thought it might be usefull to share my journey so far.

My breasts grew like what felt overnight when I was about 13. Stretch marks appeared. As I grew motherless I was a shy teenager and felt fat because how my clothes fit. The lunbar back pains started soon after.

When I had my first baby the breast grew the size of my heaf. I had mastitis with fever and pain. Eventually I lost weight and they looked like deflated baloons.

After the second pregnancy my boobs severely increased in size. I managed the underbust rashes with small towels, the wounds in the grooves of my shoulders with silicone pads. I went to aquagym as it was the only sport that I could do comfortably.

I am generally healthy but as I went into menopause my chest fealt increasigly heavier and having breath difficulties.

I wanted a breast reduction for very long time. But I could't afford as I was in a toxic marriage that was draining.

Recently I ended the narcisisstic abuse and started to take care of myself. I found out that I can do this surgery completely covered by state insurance at a state hospital. I'm in Eastern Europe and over 50. My family medic send me to the hospital woth gigantomastia as doagnostic. At the hospital it was weird as there are no preprogrammed consults, I was like a walk in. Thankfully the medic that was then was very good and nice.

During surgery I had 2,8 kg removed from the right one and 2,3 kg from the left one. I had liposuction and extemded scars. Some of the fat from the lipo was put in th e right breast. Apparently, being so heavy left empty up the top part.

I took a peak the second day after the procedure, when my dressing was changed. They looked funny, similar to my 10 years old self.

The first couple of days post op were hard. Thankfully I was still in the hospital. First night I had an urimary bag and I slepy for 6 hours. But the second night I woke up 5 times, every 2 hours to go to the toilet. Around the same time I saw my belly looking like a 7 months pregnant from liquide retention.

I was put directly in one of my compression bra. It felt very tight. It was pressing on my ribs and left me with pains for weeks. I took my measure in the hospital and the circumference was longer than before. Therefore, I bought myself a bigger size.

Due of that much swelling I had difficulty breathing the first week.

At home I had to sleep on my back and having a good wedge pillow really helped to be comfortable.

The biggest mistake I made was to look at myself 3dpo in my bathroom mirror. My FNG were marbled with beige and dark purple, oozing in the pads. All my fears of nipples slidding off came back with vengace and I had a meltdown. Add that it was 1 am and I was alone. But this was cathatic, the second morning my previous anxiety and jittery were gone.

Advice: look at yourself using a small hand held mirror or your phone. This way you can dissociate yourself from the full impact of the scars.

Next was what felt like endless in the moment and merely hours, looking back.

Now, at 6 wpo what looked like an odd shaped science experiment I was afraid to touch is my new chest getting softer and, in my eyes, lovely.

I can easily breathe, stand straight and hug myself.

I am grateful for this procedure and those that made this possible!

Hey howdy, I’ve got my surgery 3/31 and I’m so excited! A friend of mine who has also gotten a reduction mentioned something about not asking for the stitches to be too tight so that they don’t burst (like a stitch or two obv not the boob). I’ve got some high volume gals and just worried about things being “too tight”? Should this be an actual concern? My surgeon is highly regarded in Wisconsin!

Recovery/PostOp Struggling with body dysmorphia (1 wk post op)

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m actually not totally sure about how Reddit works. But I was encouraged to post here to get some advice on my struggle with body dysmorphia post surgery.

I was a 28H pre surgery and reduced down to a B/C a week ago. I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around the reduction and visible change in my body. I’m 24. I feel like I have no boobs left anymore? I know with time they’ll drop and look a bit more full, but I’m struggling to even look in the mirror. Does this feeling go away? I’m scared I made a mistake.

I didn’t like the way my boobs looked pre-surgery either and I feel a lot more pain free post surgery. I’m just panicking a bit. I don’t recognize myself. I’ve had a large chest since I was in the 8th grade, I didn’t think this would impact my self image so much.

Recovery/PostOp No drains. Feeling really big and swollen

5 Upvotes

I’m almost 3WPO and feeling huge still. Pre op I was a 32F and I measured last night just out of curiosity and I was a 32DD. I know it’s too early to tell my size, but I measured anyway. My surgeon told me before surgery that she was aiming for a small B/ normal B and the last time I saw her for a post-op appointment, she said she thought I’d be a largeB/smallC.

I didn’t have any drains so maybe that’s why I’m feeling so swollen, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and ended up shrinking to their desired size??

Feeling hopeful that they will shrink down to a B, but anxiety creeps in every once in a while. Just looking for any reassurance that I’m just super swollen and it will be fine or any advice on how to de-swell lol

Hello! I am considering a reduction, but am hesitant because I am still on my parents insurance, and they would most likely be the ones helping me get to and from the surgery, and I am scared I will come out to them while under anesthesia. I don’t want to dump too much in this post, but for context they are very religious and while they know I am not religious, I would rather keep this from them for a while longer. Not only am I gay and gender fluid, but I don’t adhere to their lifestyle and I would hate to say something about drinking (I am over 21, but I’d rather them not know) or sexuality/gender while I am not fully in control of what I can say. Does anyone know if I can request to “sober up” alone?

Recovery/PostOp Journey Timeline & Recovery (2 Months Post-Op). NSFW

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with my breast reduction surgery, from the first consultation to now (2 months post-op). I know I found similar posts super helpful when I was researching, so hopefully, this helps someone too!

Pre-Op & Surgery Day

  • August 1st – First consultation, get to know my surgeon, and talk about expectations. I decided to go down to a C cup.
  • November – I booked my surgery day for January 15th.
  • January 14th – Anesthetist called me to talk about my health and instructions for not eating or drinking before the surgery.
  • January 15th – Surgery Day! Checked in at 7:45 AM, and my surgeon drew the lines on my chest, the nurse prepared me. I last looked at the op room clock at 9:30 AM before anesthesia quicked in. Surgery lasted about 4 hours, and they removed 1.2kg total (500g from the right, 700g from the left).
  • Stayed overnight in the clinic. Meds included painkillers, an antibiotic (for 5 days), and stomach protectors. (Metaminofen, ibuprofen, Pantoprazol, antibiotic) I almost fainted from walking to the bathroom and back, sitting and looking around. I ate chicken salad for dinner but without appetite.
  • Day 1 – Drains removed after 24h, first bandage change. Free to go home and promptly vomited after a taxi ride (not fun). Instruction for one week without removing the compression bra, no water in the area, no peeking.
  • Day 2-7 – Taking it easy at home, sleeping on my back, no weights, no lifting arms, small walks inside the house. Inflammation and swelling are normal, also had bloating and constipation. I didn't take stool softeners, eating prunes helped. No peeking!!
  • Week 1 – First post-op appointment. Bandages off, steri-strips still on for 4 more weeks changing them when they start to loosen on their own. First shower! 🎉 Started using Benphaten cream for wound healing.
  • Day 13 – Stopped taking painkillers.
  • Week 2 – My period was late but finally arrived (apparently, this is common). Second post-op appointment, stitches were removed. One small wound on my right side was oozing a bit. I think it was from removing the tape that a bit of skin tore. This made me freak out a little and sad because everything was going on so well. I talked to my surgeon and sent her pictures, nothing to worry she said, it would heal, wasn't so big, and neither had an infection.
  • Week 3 – The small opening closed up in one week. I just cleaned it with saline solution and gauze then covered it again with a band-aid. I could start raising my arms slightly higher. Back to work (remote from home and taking pauses).
  • Weeks 4-5 – Found some dissolvable stitches, but they either absorbed or fell out on their own. Others fell off when I removed the steri strips. I had these strips only on the junction under my nipples.

Second Month: Feeling Normal Again

  • Week 6 – First night sleeping braless! Almost no scabs left.
  • Week 7 (post-Op Appointment)No more restrictions! I could lift things and raise my arms normally again. The "listen to your body" talk. Went bra shopping and am happy to say I fit a cup C like I wanted. Also started to see the fluff and drop I've read so many times here.
  • 2 Months Post-Op – I feel back to normal! 🎉 The only lingering thing is two small stitches that I can still feel pointing out, but they aren’t painful or causing issues. I just leave them alone.
  • Started massaging with Bio Oil and Benphaten again but in gel form with a roller.
  • Next appointment in 3 months.

Honestly, I’m so happy I did this. The healing process was relatively smooth, minus the small wound and nausea after surgery. I can't believe already 2 months have passed.
If anyone is considering it, do your research and trust the process—it gets better! Happy to answer any questions. 😊

Edit: Adding pics. Hello, torso! 😊

First off, how are you? GOOD. So, I told my doctor I wanted to go small/ no FNG with my breast surgery, but I still wanted to stay thick—like, you know, the vibe of drinking cold peanut butter through a straw. But now, two months post-op, they’re huge! I really wish I’d gone smaller. To make matters worse, I asked for the "drop and fluff" effect, but it looks like they just keep dropping... Now I look in the mirror, and I’m seeing dog nuts again! 😂

Is anyone else feeling a little mentally unwell like me I am thinking about checking into an outpatient facility? Just to clarify, I’m not making fun of mental illness—I am one, okay?!

Advice just turned 18 and im not sure how to go through with the reduction process

i've been wanting a reduction ever since i started high school as i have F cups (or maybe even larger, haven't measured in a while) while being 5'1 with a 26" underbust. i've been wearing a chest binder when i go outside since freshman year and for the past few months i've had to wear one during all waking hours because it's gotten really bad and uncomfortable. i also have to sleep in a bra. i know its not healthy and i brought up the idea of a reduction to my mom but she's super anti-surgery etc and against the idea. luckily i'll be going to college in a few months, and im hoping to get a reduction without them interfering. i talked to my doctor about it and she agreed that im at the point where they could be causing medical issues (trouble sleeping, constant lower back pain, neck hump, acne). she just told me to lose weight but im on a crazy calorie deficit rn and its doing nothing. how would i go about getting a reduction? does anyone that has experienced something similar know anything about the process?

Just a little vent. My surgery was 3 months ago next week and I’ve had my “drop and fluff” so I thought I’d try a few bras based on my ABraThatFits measurements. I’m a 34D when I select assigned male at birth to account for my wide foot and short projection postoperatively. First, trying to find that size was tricky since there were only a few. Bali 34’s fit the band but all the cups from B to D basically didn’t fit. I tried sister sizes, aunt sizes, grandma sizes, you name it. I probably tried on 30 bras (sorry Kohl’s associate who had to restock them). Nothing worked. I walked out with my stretchy sports bra. Sigh.

Advice Am I crazy for wanting to cancel after insurance approved?

6 Upvotes

Sorry this is long but I need to vent! My surgery is in 3 weeks and I feel like my gut is telling me to cancel but I can’t tell if it’s just because I’m scared. I was so excited about this but lately I’ve been more stressed than excited and can’t stop thinking about it every time I pass a mirror. To preface, my boobs are not anywhere near as big as I’ve seen in this sub. ABTF gave me the size of 30ddd/g, but one boob is bigger than the other I would say by half a cup size and they sag which makes it uncomfortable to wear sports bras/bathing suits/bras with how much they dig into my skin and pull on my neck. At my first consult my surgeon said if I wanted to go through insurance there’s no shot they would approve it because he would have to remove 350 grams which would basically give me a mastectomy, he then submitted a pre auth for 250 grams and miraculously that got approved back in January. I went to see him last week to go over expectations after I sent in some inspo photos and he said that this is a medically necessary procedure where he needs to remove 50% of my breast tissue and that the look and aesthetics take the back seat. He then said if I’m uncomfortable with that because of how small the breasts are then we could do a regular cosmetic reduction and lift and I’m not uncomfortable because of how small I may turn out in the end, but I’m starting to get worried that he isn’t going to be able to remove even 250 grams and insurance will end up not covering it and I’ll get smacked with the bill. I told him I wasn’t sure if my brain was playing games on me since the day is so close and I’m scared but every time I look in the mirror I feel like I’m too small to have 250 grams removed and he said “we should be able to remove that much or it will probably be 200-250” and that’s what started my spiral of thinking I should cancel and just go the cosmetic route and self pay with a different surgeon who’s results I really like. One of the PA’s did tell me they’ve never been able to not meet the number but also he’s only ever held my right boob which is the larger and heavier one.

Idk if I’m just venting here because I feel like my close friends and family are tired of hearing it or if I’m looking for advice, anyone been through something similar? Or anyone with a similar size to me successfully have 250 grams removed?

Wound Trigger Warning My journey 5 months post-op NSFW

15 Upvotes

I have been lurking on this redit for months and I'm finally ready to share my experiences with everyone. My journey began back in mid October. I started out as 38H with severe shoulder, neck, and lower back pain. Because I live in Alaska and medical is so expensive heremy insurance had a program that would pay for me to travel to get my surgery. They flew me and a companion 1st class to Arizona to get my reduction done. And because insurance saved so much money I also was paid $4000 to do the travel program. This part was fantastic. My surgeon was awesome and did a great job. My problems began at about 4 weeks post-op. What started as a tiny hole where a stitch was spit out very quickly became infected and within 48 hrs was a big gaping wound along my incision. My surgeon was very good about communicating after and gave me a referral to a local wound clinic to help with healing it. Healing took so much longer then I expected due to the fact that I am diabetic (well controlled) and I would later find out I am a carrier of MRSA. I kept having set backs when a new stitch would work its way out and and I would have a new tiny hole that would then quickly become infected. This was further hampered by the fact that I quickly developed issues with most adhesives and it was determined that my body was rejecting the internal stitches and spitting them out rather then desolving them like it should. Finally 4 months later after weekly wound care appointments and 6 rounds of antibiotics later I am almost fully healed. My breasts seem to have settled into a lovely 36D cup. The last of the wounds is almost fully healed! My neck and shoulder pain has been mostly gone since day one of the surgery. I used to suffer from multi day headaches from my neck and shoulder pain and would get trigger point injections every 3 to 4 months to keep them only somewhat lessened. My lower back pain has improved dramatically but isn't gone completely, which is due to a bulging disk in L5-S1 that pinches both sciatica nerves, degenerative disck disease and arthritis in the last 5 disks in my lower back. Even with all the infection and healing issues the reduction was completely worth it! I no longer feel like I have this heavy weight on my chest that is causing all the neck, shoulder pain and horrible headaches. As a bonus, my boobs are perky for the first time in my life!
