My Breast Reduction
From a very early age the only role model of the female anatomy
I saw was my mother.
She was a small woman but had large breasts which made her look heavy.
What did I know I was a child?
I thought it was normal for a woman to have large breasts.
After I had my second child my breasts became large.
They hung downward in an unattractive stance.
But I did nothing about this, except to purchase large,
expensive bras with a DD cup, wires and stays.
The DD cup was not large enough and the wires and stays hurt my ribs.
My posture was forever destroyed. I began to have rounded shoulders.
I never once thought having large breasts were unusual
since my mother was built the same way.
I did not know about a breast reduction.
All I ever heard about was breast implants.
It seemed the media screamed this information
to all the unsuspecting women.
Bigger is better. I did not think bigger was better.
I had an uncomfortable fitting bra, neck, back pain,
bad posture and my ribs were killing me.
One day I went to pick up my daughter at a friends home.
She opened my eyes to the fact of a breast reduction.
She told me she had one done and it was the best thing
she had ever done for herself.
I was working for a doctor at the time,
and I found out about a plastic surgeon who had an office in my building.
I made an appointment with him.
I was told by my friends to make sure the plastic surgeon was board certified.
Not only was this doctor board certified but he was head of surgery at the hospital.
I had my breast reduction surgery performed within the month.
It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I like to swim and for years I did not swim because
I could not find a swimsuit which would fit me on the top.
Clothes I could not wear before because they did not fit
or made me feel large and conspicuous were now within my reach.
I can go outside of my home without a bra and nobody can tell the difference.
It has made a big difference in my life.
I certainly encourage any woman who is large breasted to have a breast reduction performed.
With woman and cancer, it is easier to detect breast cancer in a breast of a smaller proportion.
Truthfully, I can tell women of today
bigger is not better.
