I'm pretty much the same except I am a DDD. If I can handle them, I'm sure you can as well.

Yeah my bf would kill me if I got a breast reduction! I can't imagine why anyone would want unnecessary surgery that will leave you badly scarred, involve 50% chance of losing feeling in your nipples, and you won't be able to breastfeed.

But it's your choice.

Your b/f is a jerk.

Do this... take a 5 lb bag of sugar and place it around his neck. Tell him he needs to keep wearing that for a FULL DAY then come to you and tell you you should not get a breast reduction.

If you feel you need it, go for it. If a guy cannot support a woman who wants to get a reduction then he isn't worth keeping.

If you want to go to a site for BR support, check out http://www.breasthealthonline.com That site helped me out a lot before during and after my breast reduction surgery.

Edit: People keep complaining about scars. I had my BR done a year ago and my scars are 95% gone. The ones still visible are fading. You just have to treat them properly, whether it be with Mederma, Palmers Scar Serum, or ScarGuard.

Also with breastfeeding, check out http://www.bfar.org it is a site about breastfeeding after reduction. My PS says I can breastfeed after reduction, it really all depends on the doctor that does the surgery and his techniques and stuff.

yes go with his advise. i had the same trouble. i dont know how old u are, but hopefully old enough so your boobs wont grow anymore. i thought a D was big too until mine grew to a DD. then finally a DDD. im 5ft 4in. i miss my single D days. but if u need more reason to not get a breast reduction, look up some pictures online or something. i wanted to get it done until i read this article about a woman who had. reduction is a TON more work then getting them enlarged. and apparently, scars are inevitable. i mean, from what i remember, they have to cut around the areola then take all the fat and stuff out, then cut off some of the excess skin thats left, then reposition the nipple....yadda yadda. its nasty.

but if u have some real medical reason to get them reduced, like back problems, then maybe consider it. also maybe if your seriously into sports, they can get in the way. im in track with these things and it took me years to find the perfect sports bra that actually packed them in. they dont move at all. (at sports chalet if your interested) so im about triple your size, and in track, and ive found ways to deal with them. so i would definitely reconsider the reduction. i dont think going through all that is worth it when there are ways to work around your breast size.

good luck!
