I am planning my wedding several months from now. For several years, I have also considered breast reduction surgery, but have put it off because I am very hesitant about the procedure. I finally went to see a cosmetic surgeon a few months ago, and he explained it. It sounded much simpler than I first feared, and it is quite possible my insurance company will cover it for health reasons. Now that I am getting married, I am once again reconsidering it. I went shopping for shirts the other day, and I am now wearing XL shirts/jackets, despite the fact that I am a small woman, only 5'2" and wear a size 8-10 dress. Also, because of my size, I have to have my wedding corset custom made, instead of just ordering it off the rack from thousands of available styles in average sizes. Has anyone had this done? If so, have you had good results? Mod cut.

I have not had it done, but I know several people who have, and they are all thrilled. When I was having eye surgery, the surgeon and I were discussing it, and she said that it is the cosmetic surgery with the highest satisfaction rate.
...And no, I am not offering the male readers pics
You should have put this first to save all of us the time it took to read down to it!
My late wife talked about having the surgery. It probably makes a lot of sense -- as a way to lessen back problems, reduce cancer risks, increase your comfort and, as you point out, provide a much wider selection of clothing. That always bugged her, that it was hard to find clothing that fit properly. Like you, she was small in every dimension but one.
I haven;t done it. I think if a woman was blessed with nice breasts, she'd be happy. But those breasts can cause back issues, cancer risks, if they're too large. So, getting reduced to a manageable size is understandable. It just depends on the woman.
I am 5'0, and wear a 34 C, 36 at largest. If I got any surgery, it'd be to make them bigger. But I think they're fine as they are.
So, if you're a woman that has issues with her breasts, get the surgery. If it's a problem, I don't think your fiance would flip over it-hopefully you're not reducing it to an A cup though lol.
With breast surgery, I only have my mother to go on, and she got her's lifted. 3x, because they kept falling. Finally, she went to a better surgeon, and got them completely redone. They big, round, and perky. She's very happy lol
Three of my sisters had it done and one of them had it done twice. Yeah, when she gained weight, they got big again. I also had a cousin that had it done. They are all very satisfied with the results.
Hmmm...I seem to remember catching a glimpse of that type of surgery on television.
Oh, yeah! They stitched and tried to reshape the female's breast back together. And yet I remember that even after it was done, she still looked like a victim of Dr. Frankenstein!
Yeah, sure, the female looked better in clothing, and I guess felt better (?), but at what cost?

Do it when you are young and you will benefit from better posture, better health, and better everything else that goes with those two. I've also known more than one woman that should have had this surgery and did not and holy smokes, late in life it sucks for them (all hunched over, herniated or busted disks, completely inactive and in pain). I'd make certain to find a surgeon that is the best at this (has done this particular surgery dozens of times, not just a handful), and go for it while young.

Ladies, don't do it!!!! Stay natural!
I had it done and I would do it again. Not having painful back and shoulders vs having some scarring?
Feeling better is a good thing. My spine began to curve because of the weight of my breasts. Seriously if a man had issues with my scars I guess I would have issues with him.
The surgical scars do look scary right after surgery. I am s/p surgery x 15 years and you can hardly even see the scars at all.

WHOA! That's serious stuff. Sorry you had that happening to you. I guess surgery is necessary for ladies like you. Glad you are all fixed up
I knew a woman who had it done, and she was so relieved afterwards! All that excess weight and the strain to her back were gone.
