My SIL is a 42DD and she had the reduction. She went down to a Full C. She was in pain for a while maybe a week or two if I remember quite frankly but she is super happy. Her husband didn't like the surgery because he was very fond of his buddies but she was in a lot of pain. She was a bit dissapointed because she though it was pretty much what also made her look a tad heavy....but it wasn't the only thing that made her heavy. So afterwards she had the realization that she needed to loose some weight as well. Anyhow the reduction went well...and the doctor lifted her sweater puppies as well
. Her hubby was happy with the after results and told her it was like looking at a new set.
If you need them and want them then go for it. Just be prepared for a bit of discomfort afterwards but in the long run it's definitely worth it.
You can send some of it my way when it's done...lol. Too bad you can't recycle it...lol. Big bucks there girls.
