I was involved with a woman who had breast reduction surgery shortly (about 6 months) before I met her. I don't know if your (as in, those of you who are talking about the surgery in a way that implies you are actually considering it) breasts are as big as hers were, but I am happy to review pictures you send to me and let you know.

I will say that I think that she was unhappy with the total volume of the reduction. There is only so much tissue that can be removed, and there was significant scarring below the breasts at the "seam" where they met her chest. Her scarring went down over the next six months, but I don't think that it would ever be perfect. I don't know whether or not she expected to be able to breast-feed.

Her breasts were still very big after the surgery, and she told me that she had wanted them to be even smaller than they made them, but that they couldn't be reduced further. She was already having lots of pain and back problems at the age she had the surgery, and I think it was more of a health thing than an appearance thing. Her health insurance covered the surgery almost entirely.

I think that, if she were here, she would caution you to consider whether you really want to get major surgery when the benefit might not be that great. Unless your breasts are truly collossal, I don't know if it would be worth the scarring, pain and loss of function. If they are that big, the overall reduction won't be that huge, and you'll still have massive breasts, but with more scarring, pain and loss of function.

Of course, I am a dude, so I don't know as much about breasts, and I don't want to be presumptive and tell you a bunch of stuff. I'm just passing on the info.
