Answer 2

There isn't a way without surgery really. It sounds like you are still in your teens from the fact that your mom gets a say, so hang on. You will probably fill out in your 20s and could end up with a body that fits your boobs. If not, when you get there if you still feel the same way, you can look into surgery then. A good plastic surgeon usually won't touch girls below a certain age anyway since your body's not done developing yet. Besides, all surgery comes with risks, and people have died from complications of plastic surgery. And breast reduction comes with its own set of risks to the breast and sensation and breast feeding if that's in your future. Do you hate them that much to risk all that? Try and be proud of your body. Tell your friends to stop with the comments because they hurt your feelings. Those comments have undoubtedly contributed to your bad feelings about your body.

There is no reasonable way to do that. You could lose a wildly unhealthy amount of weight and shrink the breasts, but they and you would look terrible and you just might die. You can also just wait: when you are 80 they should shrink down to about that size.

If you really need breast reduction for health reasons (back ache, irritations, etc.) it is covered by medical insurance and not considered cosmetic.

You could also try to force your breasts into that 38B but that would be painful and likely also look terrible.

Have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Many of them will do this for little or no fee.

That would depend on how overweight you are. There is a body mass index calculator below. If you are considerably overweight, then you might be able to achieve a significant breast reduction just by getting down to your "ideal" weight. Here's more:

Losing weight really is as simple as basic addition and subtraction. If the calories you eat add up to more than what you burn in a given time period, you will gain weight. Conversely, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Depending on your size and activity level, the number of calories will vary quite a bit. The secret is finding your “break even” calorie intake level. For most people, the “ball park” figure will be around 1800 to 2000 calories per day. If you are larger than average, this number will be higher, lower if you are smaller than average. Metabolic rate can have an effect on these numbers as well. Exercise plays an important role also, as this can increase the number of calories you burn by quite a bit as well as increasing your metabolic rate.

If you want a generally healthy diet that’s easy to follow and avoids hunger, the one I recommend will do the job very well. You can fill up and still lose weight. Eat lots of fresh vegetables as they contain very few calories yet are full of good nutrition. The less you cook them, the more nutrition they retain. Stick with whole grains, as they tend to be better for you and don’t turn to sugar as readily as processed grains do. For example, whole grain bread is much better for you than plain white bread. Eat a variety of fruit on a daily basis. Avoid empty carbs, fats, and sugars…. Examples: junk food and soda. If you feel you need protein to build muscle, add some chicken or fish to your diet. Avoid beef and dairy products, the cons outweigh the pros.

If you can’t get your mind into the ‘eat to live; don’t live to eat’ mode, you should probably read this short article on the psychology behind overeating:

Answer 5

If you have been told that you will need, or if you have already undergone a mastectomy, breast reconstruction may be an option for you. Breast reconstruction is a series of operations designed to recreate your breast to its original shape.

The initial step in breast reconstruction is to evaluate the proposed or existing changes to your breast due to a mastectomy. The types of changes that often occur are the loss of skin surface, breast volume, the nipple, symmetry and contour.

As you are already aware, being faced with the diagnosis of breast cancer forces you as a patient to make numerous difficult choices. Breast reconstruction is no different and is similar to an unfamiliar road with many different routes available. Although your physicians are there to help will guide you along the way by explaining the options, you must make the final decisions, which will direct you down the path best suited to your situation.

Your first choice is whether or not to proceed with ANY reconstruction. For hundreds of years, mastectomies were performed without any chance of reconstruction. In fact, for a number of reasons, most women in the United States who undergo mastectomy DO NOT undergo reconstruction. The breast is removed and the remaining skin is simply closed. For many women, this option remains the most expeditious, safe, and reasonable choice. The missing breast tissue can be disguised with clothing or by inserting foam pads into a special bra - - this is called a "bra prosthesis". This method can be looked at as the "full assault war approach": the object of the game is to eradicate the enemy (the cancer) quickly with maximal survival, fast recovery and minimal casualties (the ability to move on with one’s life very quickly. The disadvantage of NOT undergoing reconstruction, however, is obvious...the mastectomy defect is quite deforming and oftentimes disturbing to some patients.

Our experience in counseling many patients over the years reveals that all patients have a different sense of body image and importance. The question of whether or not to proceed with reconstruction is a very personal one that must be answered by each patient individually.

For some patients, mastectomy without reconstruction is not a viable option as they are uncomfortable with the appearance of their body after the mastectomy and wish to pursue surgery as a means of regaining a more natural breast appearance.

When should you undergo breast construction?

There are two paths to choose from when deciding to have reconstructive surgery.
Breast reconstruction may begin at the time of the mastectomy, in which case is known as "immediate breast reconstruction" or weeks, months, or years thereafter, also known as "delayed" reconstruction.

What are the advantages of immediate reconstruction?

Reconstructing the breast immediately following the mastectomy avoids additional operations and general anesthesia at a later date. Furthermore, the reconstructive process is generally easier due to the absence of scar tissue from prior surgeries with the breast skin retaining the size and shape of the original breast.

In our experience, immediate reconstruction has had no impact on the timing of postoperative chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This is important, as it means that in general, undergoing immediate reconstruction does not delay the necessary therapy for treating the cancer. There are, however, select cases where immediate reconstruction is not recommend. An example would be "inflammatory carcinoma" or widely metastatic disease that is not controlled by chemotherapy. Additionally, delayed reconstruction may be advisable if you as a patient need more time to make the numerous critical decisions associated with your disease or your surgeon anticipates other problems with the control of the cancer, wound healing problems, personal preferences, etc. Here again, it is imperative that you work with doctor to understand the pros and cons for all the available options so that you can select the optimal path for your situation.
