Im 28 and have wanted this since highschool! I just had my first consultation yesterday and I should hear back from insurance in a few weeks to see if they will cover it. Im currently a 34 F and desperately want to be at least a C. Like you said, I would rather have scars and feel confident vs carrying these insecurities forever. Thank you for sharing your experience!

crossing my fingers for you!!!

I’m getting surgery in June, and I really want the healing process to be as quick and painless as possible 😭

[@n.k.4481]

Me too literally in june

[@CoraJosephine]

wishing you the best! it will be amazing and you will be so happy

[@79leeka]

Best thing you’ll ever do. Had mine in April. Easy recovery not painful at all.

[@n.k.4481]

@@79leeka thank you for the encouragement bc I am so nervous I almost want to back out

[@79leeka]

@@n.k.4481 Don’t back out you’ll be fine just have lots of ice packs to rotate. You’ll feel like a new person after.

My consultation is in 2 days and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m a 48J right now and I’m hoping to go as small as possible. It’s been 5 years of chronic back pain and I haven’t been able to run in 2 years. I’m so ready to be done!

[@CoraJosephine]

I'm so happy for you!!!

[@siennashipley]

that pricing is mental!! idk if it’s only different in the UK because we don’t have insurance but the most you would be looking at is 10k for a boob job or reduction, i’m so glad you had a good experience and that insurance came in clutch❤

[@CoraJosephine]

ugh it's the WORST here

[@isabelmota7877]

getting the surgery in August! cant wait im so jelly

[@CoraJosephine]

WOOHOO so happy for you!

May 21th 2024 I had a breast reduction this was the Best decision of my life I’m on pain my boobs are swollen But I don’t care I’m not suffering anymore . Girl I followed you everywhere thanks 🙏

[@CoraJosephine]

so glad to hear!!!!

[@sampadapatil924]

I had my surgery in this April I am little concerned about the positioning of my nipples.Sometimes they just pop out of my bra as I feel they are at bit on the topmost side than compared to the normal positioning. So just wanted to ask is it normal will the normal positioning will show up as the full recovery period is 6-9 months or should I be concerned and consult my doctor?

[@alexisajluni9184]

$56K seems wrong… I live in Seattle and am paying out of pocket and I paid $14.8K. No surgeons in the city go above $20K from what I saw. But could be city dependent. Seattle is not exactly a cheap city though.

[@avneetn.7123]

For some reason insurance is always billed more than individuals. For example, I just had my reduction and my insurance was billed around $100,000…if I went without insurance it would’ve been around $10k. Not sure why but that’s what I noticed

[@pamelabrown5675]

@@avneetn.7123you are so correct because I’m living in NewYork and my Insurance was bill $23,000

[@mariahalexander23]

I’m getting my reduction on Thursday and I’m super nervous some tips you can give me ?

[@CoraJosephine]

ahhh so excited for you! my biggest piece of advice would just be to go in with an open mind and be excited! just know that the surgery and healing process is so worth it

[@mariahalexander23]

Thank you so much girl! I just have a lot of anxiety lol 😂 also I’m just worried about being out of work for a while because I work with children

[@laraandJasmine]

Im trying to find a good place to go if you are able to tell us who did you go to for your surgery

[@CoraJosephine]

i just went to my local hospital! I would talk to your healthcare provider and see if they have surgeons that they recommend!

[@avneetn.7123]

Just had mine on June 14 and I’m still in awe. I can wear so many more clothes now!!!!! 🥹
