so i dont know if i should say this, or how to say this, but a few too many wines and the urge to blog squashes any and all common sense.
i want to have a breast reduction.
i know what most people who only know me from my blog will say:
*horny, perv* what? no way, you're tits are great (read: they are big and you wear tight shirts)
*everyone else* what? no way, you're boobs look fine.
however these people are only judging by webcam pics and the occasional photo i put up, and definately - webcam pics are deceiving. most people who only knew me from my site, who then met me in person said i looked quite different from my site. they said they thought i'd be taller... and who knows what else. thinner? more proportioned features? *shrugs*
and then there are the people who know me in person - again no doubt the reaction will be 'wtf? you dont need it'
but firstly - what do you know? you only see my boobs in uber-supportive bras and flattering tops. and second - i'm the one who has to live with these things.
let me explain: i was always under-developed in high school, until grade 11 when i finally became a nice, perky, full b-cup. cut to the end of high school, i went overseas for an exchange program. a combination of late-blossoming and living overseas, not knowing anyone, missing home and comfort eating, i put on 7kg or so (15.4 pounds). After I got home and started university, i lost a bit but never got down to what i was in high school- because in that year overseas, i also jumped from a b-cup to a d-cup. In the past few years, i've bounced up and down between 53-58kg (116-128lbs), but have never been able to lose the boobs.
HOWEVER, and this is the important part- my boobs grew when i put on weight, and since then, they have lost.... um... their gravity-defying abilities. they are a tad saggy. and the truth is, they are NEVER going to get any better. i can lose so much weight, tone up at the gym, but i cannot change my skin without cosmetic surgery.
so, anyway, a couple of years ago my mum had a face lift- and i went along to her consultations and spoke to the surgeons about a boob lift/reduction. at the time, i was barely 21 and i thought it was really worth going through with.
i've still thought about it over the past few years however, and eventually i told mum i wanted to have a consultation and speak to someone about it. and my mum is 100% behind me. she's always had bigger boobs, and was always self-conscious about them. she was always so surprised at how confident i was, considering i had slightly bigger boobs then she had at my age - but i proudly wore tight tops, and embraced my cleavage.
my mum never liked her boobs, and at 52, she has quite saggy boobs, and worse than that- she has dints in her shoulders from the weight of her boobs on her bra straps. they have dug in over the years and she now has a PERMANENT dint in her shoulders. not a subtle dint either. its so very noticeable. she dislikes the top of her arms so much that she would never wear tops that show off her shoulders, so this is not a huge problem for her......
however, i'm young!!! i want to wear tops that show off my shoulders- i dont want dints. and i'm sick of wearing granny bras if i actually want support. and i'm sick of jiggling if i want to wear a remotely skimpy top. and i'm sick of the lears from pervy guys, and i'm sick of not being able to fit clothes properly.
and you know what- i might as well do this while i'm young, while i heal better and my skin is more elastic and while i actually want to wear tighter tops.
SOOOOO, anyway, i had my consultation last month and it all went well. i would benefit most from a slight reduction plus a lift. i've been waiting now for the quote...
and finally it came. and i was SURPRISED!!! it was a hell of a lot cheaper than i imagined.
in the past i've met ALOT of girls with breast implants and from what they said, i always thought implants were between $4,000 - $7,000 ($2,900-$5100 USD) - depending on where you went.
as for reductions - i was always under the impression they were between $7,000-$10,000. ($5100- $7300USD).... my quote arrived the other day and i was surprised. it wasn't as much as i thought:
Reduction: $3,300
Asst Doctors fee: $300
Anesthetist fee: $1000
That doesn't include the hospital fee (which could be quite alot), BUT there's almost $1000 medical rebate for a reduction.
So, now I've got to ring the hospital and confirm the hospital fee (1 day and night in the hospital), and make another appointment to see the doctor... another consultation... and then i just need to decide if i'm going to go through with it or not.
if anyone who reads my site has had a breast reduction or anything, please comment. of course, the realist in me knows that most people who come here are pervs that have clicked on my cam from camwhores or some other cam portal, and wont have anything constructive to say at all. thank god for the delete comment function.

You've gotta do what you gotta do Rhi.
My GF is in pretty much the same situation: short (1.55m), medium build (~55kg), but she's been hovering between a C and D cup for the longest time.
Honestly, it's great for me, but I know she doesn't want to have saggy boobs when she's older, nor does she want to live with the back pain.
Her needs come before mine, and I fully support her (pun not intended heh).
My advice is to do some research online, maybe see if you can talk to some people in person who've done the surgery, check out how they look now, etc.
I'm behind you 100%

Rhiannon,
Just like the commenter above, my girlfriend had fairly large breasts (D cup) on a rather small frame. It would be a lie for me to say that I didn't enjoy her large breasts. However, she had a lot of the same problems and concerns you did. She went ahead and had a reduction. Didn't need to get a lift. She went from a D down to between a B and C. She is SOOO much happier now. She can wear the clothes she wants, and she's much more comfortable in her own skin. And to tell you the truth, I am happier that she is happy; even with smaller boobs :-)

I know it means a lot to you, and if you want to do it then effin' do it!!
I'm just as supportive as your bras (har di har) and promise to supply you with an abundance of pain-easing red wine throughout your recovery.
After all, I don't care if you have no boobs at all and would love the excuse to help you buy a new wardrobe!! :D

My wife has fairly large breasts (DD) and we've been discussing her getting a reduction for a long time. She's gone in for a consultation and luckily she may be able to get her operation covered by her health insurance because it causes her back aches. Have you checked into coverage by your health insurance? Maybe the doctor can do a write-up showing family history, since you said that your Mom has "dents" in her shoulders from her bra straps. Besides being less-than-asthetically-pleasing, those dents can also cause other health problems. But I'm sure you've looked all that up.

Hey, go for it as you said while you are young and heal - I personally have'nt had on but I supported one of my good friends through one and the extra "procedures" after (once you do one bit you get the taste for more - in her case remove some "bulk" above the belly and below the boobs that became noticable after reducing her boobs and losing some weight) sadly I can't refer you to her plastics guy (supposedly the best - all the stars used him) he went to the US on a working holiday and never came back...
Good luck, stay strong, stay focussed and believe in yourself.
Adrian
I can't believe I just said all that - I really attracted to your rack, maybe it's the spunky girl behind it that really sparks my interest hmm...

Oh wow. I can't imagine what it would be like to desire surgery. I mean, I would love to have quite a few things done on me, but all for vanity reasons as opposed to comfort and health.
It's definitely worth looking into if it means improving things, especially in the long term.
BTW I always thought you were really, really tall. ;)

As much as I love perving on your Bundy Bodacious Bounty, I know that the thought of having to tuck those puppies into your socks as you age is repugnant. I will also be supportive in the reduction.Just don't go to small. Although I'd love to hump your mother's shoulder dints!!

hahah verbs, nope i'm about 5'3.
and perhaps i should clarify, i dont need to tuck my boobs into my socks yet!!!! they aren't THAT bad.
i'm mostly doing this for vanity, but there are definate health/comfort benefits to having a reduction.

Your the most fun when you feel good about yourself,anything that helps you get there cant be wrong. Just make sure you check up on all the risks and pick someone really good to do this. I'll send some positive energy your way when you start to do this.

Hi Rhi
I know a girl who had it done and she is much better about the way she feels yes hers were big and as a result she had very very very bad back aches and pains, now that it has been done she loves it she can do more she can even run without them bouncing on her so if you really think you need it i would just do it you will feel better but i guess its your decision but what ever you choose good luck!!

Oh yeah I forgot to add, Autographed Before and after pictures for all. Be sure to let the boy jug hump the hell outo f them before the operation. He's gonna miss them. If he says he won't he's a bald faced liar. Who knows what evil lurks in thehearts of men? The Shadow knows!! BUWAHAHHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm a guy, but I know a few people who have had both implants and reductions.. all with great success.
One friend told me that the key to avoiding the shoulder indentations is to get custom fitted bras. Supposedly most of the off-the-shelf stuff doesn't suit everyone. Might be worth looking into...
Another thing to consider is that if you ever have kids, your boobs will only get BIGGER. So whoever posted regarding going to a large B/small C sounds right on the money. They'd still be plenty big and wouldn't turn gargantuan if you had a couple kids. ;)
My mom (I know, eew, gross) had DD's before she had me and they've gotten so large (she had my sister and had put on weight with age) that she's had TWO reductions and is thinking about getting a third one. Your mom looks pretty slender for an older woman, so it doesn't sound like you'll have that sort of problem, but it's another thing to consider.
Hope that helps. Good luck. Just promise you'll model your knockers once they're all healed. ;P

i fully understand where you're coming from
i have a huge penis, and its really awkward and inconvenient.. im seriously considering having it reduced but the surgery is a lot more complicated and experimental than breast reduction. i know exactly how you feel, and we definitely both know that others cant understand what we're going through and why we might want to reduce these "assets" *puke*.. i hate my stupid big penis and i wish it were smaller. perhaps we could take some shots of my big penis with your big breasts, and then an aftershot of my smaller more managable penis with your smaller breasts? before and after kind of thing - strength in numbers. go team. that sorta thing.
anyway - xoxoxo

Sam Kinison had the funniest routine about breast reduction. He said, "Why would you want to make them smaller? Give your man more titty!"
He continued, "How about this? I want to reduce the size of my dick. How about we get rid of everything but the tip? That way, I can have a mushroom dick. Two can play at this game, damnit!"
