-. I was nearly flat chested until I was 17... and then... I have this distinct memory of chasing my friend's little nephew down the beach to which she said "Better be careful, or you'll give yourself a black eye with those things". It was in that moment that I realized that somehow, the body I thought I knew, wasn't the reality. I had 32D's seemingly overnight.
+.
-And, just like everyone else, they got bigger and bigger, and my self esteem dropped lower and lower, as the clothes/look I aspired to have and activities I wanted to partake in became impossible. And then the pain started.
+.
-Neck spasms, numbness in my hands and elbows, shooting neck pain, lines and heat rashes under my boobs. Then the chaffing and rubbing and sweat.
+.
-So, finally, after years of considering and never really pursuing this procedure, I decided to stop dragging my feet and making excuses and get the damned thing done!

-Since REALLY deciding about 2 weeks ago, everything has just fallen right into place! I currently live overseas but found a doc in my hometown that's willing to do Skype consultations and work with my insurance provide on my behalf. The staff there has been amazingly helpful and understanding so far (though I'm going to withhold the name of the practice until everything is official).My husband is super supportive, as are my family and friends, and I feel like every little hiccup has somehow turned into a blessing and been worked into making this thing actually happen!

-. I was a late bloomer, but when I finally did bloom, I bloomed hard. The last time I was measured, I was a 34/36 H, which is the size bra I am wearing in the pictures, but I believe I am bigger than that now due to changes in birth control. I very rarely wear underwire bras because they are so uncomfortable, and I tend to stick to industrial strength sports bras and granny bras which really are not cute. I have been experiencing low, middle, and high back pain, shoulder and neck pain, and frequent tension headaches for a couple of years and I am really hoping that getting rid of some of the weight will help relieve this. I am fairly tall (about 5'8") and have an athletic build (broad shoulders, small (relative to my shoulders) waist, with a bit of extra fat. My boobs are not proportionate to the rest of me and make me look larger than I am.

-. I am a 25 y/o hairstylist. I have had large breasts since 7th grade when I came back to school over break and had developed into a large D. From there I kept developing and graduated high school at an F. In the past couple years with a little weight gain, I have topped out at a 38 H. I'm a pretty active human. I workout a couple times a week, walk and run with my dog and enjoy a decently active lifestyle. But my large chest has always held me back. I currently wear 2-3 sports bras and suffer from back pain as well as some neck pain. Especially after working a long day behind the chair.
-. I remember always wanting large breasts so that I would pray so much as a young girl, my prayers were answered and My boobs started growing at 11. I was a C at 13 and an E at 15. I really can't remember when they started getting out of hand but I just remember being 16 and going to get bra sized because I was just pouring out of my bras and that's when I was told I was a 28GG which made my heart drop. I was so small it didn't make sense for my breasts to be this large. I could never get clothes to fit me because my arms and waist were so small but my chest was so big. I stopped looking at my self in the mirror naked around that time because I didn't want to overthink something I didn't think I could change. I avoided any intimate relationships because of this huge insecurity! I was so skinny I couldn't even lose weight, it was all breast tissue. Luckily for me my mother was always supportive and noticed my back pain and struggles with the breasts, my frame just couldn't hold them, she knew I would have to get a reduction at some point in my life but I was still too young. Because I'm so small my figure was reduced to a 'P' shape.
-Fast forward to me earlier this year. For so long I'd been trying to stay super positive but one night I was studying for exams and I just couldn't handle the back pain for sitting for so long. It was unbearable, I broke down crying and was in a depressive state, I realised that my breasts were my whole identity. They were the first thing you saw, I felt them like a wound everyday of my life.
-. Developed early, never really stopped. Cried every night wondering why it was happening to me. I have never really adjusted to the size of my chest, I am very small everywhere else and am literally a pair of giant breasts on two legs. I want to be able to exercise. I want to be able to buy clothes. I want to be able to have normal interactions with people (yes, women too). I want to be able to date normally.
-.  Like many women here my breast size has always been a 'thing' in my life. from early on they started and never stopped growing!! I was a B up at 11 and by 14 I was a C/D. By 16 I was DD(and was popping out of those but they were the biggest bras I could find!) at 22(15 years ago!) I finally was fitted at a specialty lingerie store for a bra to wear for my wedding . I was fitted for a 36 F and they didn't have any bigger cups that were a 36 band size, back then if the cup got bigger the band got bigger! it didn't fit well but was the best I had at the time. That one bra cost me $125!! 1.5 years later after my first child I went back to that store for a nursing bra and left again with something too small but the best there was. soon after was pregnant and nursing my second child. I lived in that nursing bra for 3 years!!
-Finally a few years a new bra store opened up and ran over there. its where I have been shopping ever since!! the first bra they fitted me in was a 36 H. after 2 more babies I am now wearing a 34K.
-.  I’ve always had large breast my first bra was a c cup at age eleven
-By the time I was 15 I was wearing a DDD Bra i never used to let it bother me even when people would continually stop me to make comments about my boobs and how much my back must hurt, at the time I was wearing size 2 clothing with a minuscule waistline
-As I started college I started realizing he cons to having such large breast, I couldn’t wear halters without them cutting into my neck and ever so often I would get slight pains in my shoulders and lower back which I did not contribute to my large breast at the time. Very quickly I realized my bras no longer fit and I needed a bigger size, by the time I was 30 I was wearing a 34k bra and could not fit in strapless bras
-.  I remember going into the 5th grade pretty flat chested and starting middle school with a C cup. It's like they literally grew over night. Can you imagine? An 11 year old with a C cup! I used to wear jackets all day (even during the summer) to try to hide my overly developed breasts. By the time I was 16, I was very petite at 5’3 and 120 pounds wearing a 38 ddd, which obviously was not the correct size because my back was so little, and I’m sure at least 6 pounds came from my breasts. I'll say I'm pretty sure I was an H cup then. I got my bras from Lane Bryant which was the only place I could find bras that “fit." Someone as petite as me had to shop in a plus size store just for bras.
-Fast forward a couple of years and I'm graduating high school a 32 K. I'm now 22 and 170 pounds. Still a 32 K. I wish I wasn’t as heavy but unfortunately I didn't lose the weight before surgery, so I will lose it afterwards. I've had neck and shoulder pains for years, especially if I was standing or sitting for too long. My back pain would come and go. It would be its worse during my period because the weight of my boobs would become too much. I stopped trying to complain to doctors about back pain after an incident with a nurse. I was maybe 16 when I tried to tell her I was having back pain. She went into the hallway and started talking loudly with her coworker. I can still recall what she said, and her words still stick with me today. She stated that I was a little ol thing with big breasts trying to complain about back problems, and it was probably just gas. *insert huuuuge eye roll here* Not only was that unprofessional, but who was she to tell me my pain was something as simple as gas?
-. I am 42 years old and have big boobies probably the last 30 years.. With two children they became even more bigger.
