[Breast Reduction Journal] Example photos
I do plan to take photos of myself before and after and I will be more than happy to share them with everyone who reads my site. I think it is an interesting topic and whether you know me in real life, have read my site for years or don't know me at all, I think people might be interested to read about and share the experience as it progresses. There might be people out there who are also considering similar surgeries and my journal could help them understand what to expect and what the results will be like, scars and all.
Of course there will always be some dicks - "lol omg bewbs". But oh well, I'll just try to ignore them.
But yeah, I haven't taken the before photos yet. HOWEVER, in my months of research I've saved a collection of before/after photos that look similar to myself. I found when looking for breast reduction before/after photos, most of the women were very very large, and I didn't feel like these were good examples of what I could expect.
So I kept hunting. I found a few women who were younger and around my age, and who weren't that overweight to begin with. Women about my height and weight. I found numerous photos of women with boobs similar to mine, and I was pleased with most of their after photos.
So here are a couple of before/after photo examples. These are NOT me!!! But they are a good example of what my body looks like sans clothes.
2 years post operation- the scars have healed so well on these. This woman is young and about my height/weight but she has had 2 kids, so my boobs are a tad more full than hers, but the sagginess is pretty close.
I probably have a bit more in the "love handle" area, but a good example of the fatty inner thigh area- my lower thighs are fine and toned, but I cannot shake the inner thigh pocket of fat. And I have the same shape outer thigh/bum- the saddle bags.

Good luck with all of this!
A friends gf recently had it done (about 3 weeks ago) and she is so much happier for it. She has already experienced significantly more comfort. She used to have back spasms occasionally because of the weight of her breasts and this has pretty much stopped, she only has an occasional back ache as she continues to recover and also strengthen her back.
She now has the cliche'd, "new lease on life".

I'm interested to know... what happens if you have a breast reduction and then have kids? Does it 'ruin' the job, so to speak? Can you still breastfeed?
I wouldn't mind having a breast lift but I'm worried that I'd be wasting my money if I ended up having kids down the track...

ruin- no, it wont "ruin" the reduction. but your breasts might swell and grow a bit during pregnancy and then if you breastfeed they might sag a little like a small pair of boobs would.
can you breastfeed? generally, yes. but it depends how drastic the reconstructive surgery was.
Usually they keep the nipple attached to nerves and breast tissue during the surgery and just move it up. but if your breasts were really really huge they might have to remove the nipple and place it back on the reconstructed breast- "free nipple graft". In those cases damage to nerves and milk ducts and sensativity might occur.
In my case, because the reduction is not huge, and my nipples aren't too far away from where they will be on the smaller breasts, my nipples will still be attached to the breast tissue and nipple so the chance of it affecting breast feeding is quite minimal. BUT it could affect it. Its a risk I'm willing to take.

I have seen your breast in some old archives of some cam shows and they looked great to me. That was like a few years ago though. Would you want the pictures? If so then I'll e-mail you them.. Anyway.. You have my vote and support so good luck.

1) cam angles are deceiving
2) i was younger
like most camgirls, camera angles and lighting and poses are the key.
but thanks.

Good luck. This is a big decision.
Even though there are differences I am looking at a Gynaecomastia procedure. But I am no where near the amount of research you have done. I have a high body acceptance, but I have limits and its to do with comfort!
