My breast reduction genuinely changed my life

[@sidrazeb-lb7io]

Hows change your life?

[@maddiz_lr8459]

I’m getting my surgery November 21st and super excited!! EDIT: Guys I had mine 4 days earlier than scheduled!! They look great and I’m doing fairly well! Totally worth it.

[@jaynejohnson895]

I get mine the 30th and I’m really stressed about it tbh. I’ve been so excited but I’ve been so insecure lately. I cant afford to hate anything else about my body. Do you really like it?

[@maddiz_lr8459]

@@jaynejohnson895 I do really like it. At first I was struggling with the feeling of “maiming” myself but now it’s settling in and the idea of no longer “looking” like I did and feeling better is just awesome. Power through it. You will have to sleep at an angle for at least a month and do your back won’t feel great or even good for awhile but when you’re up and moving around and things fit like they’re supposed to it makes it all worth it. I went from a dd/ddd to a C and i know it’s going to be something I won’t regret. Good luck!!

[@maddiz_lr8459]

@@jaynejohnson895 I also feel more confident because of it, forgot to add that^

[@jaynejohnson895]

@@maddiz_lr8459 thanks so much for responding. I’m definitely doing mine so I feel better, I’m a 40 ddd. But I also do like the idea of it for cosmetic reasons. Mine are so heavy that they hang very low and my nipples are very low. My surgeon said with the surgery I get a lift. My biggest con (aside from potentially being botched lol) is the possibility I won’t be able to breastfeed.. if I’m sacrificing that I want them to look good😂

[@JaX1313]

Congrats! I had my surgery on November 16th!!! I’m OBSESSED with them.

My god it’s so refreshing watching someone genuine (and funny 😂) doing this. I feel like there are so many Gram Gerls that do these videos and I’m like… pls I need relatable content. Thanks the most for this. Mines next month and you’ve made me feel so much less nervous ❤❤❤

I’m 69 and thinking about doing a reduction before Christmas.

[@miwakuuu3551]

Thank you so much for the honest review, you don’t know how much it helps random people. I have an anxiety disorder and some attachment shit especially this new year and my mom decided yo get a breast reduction surgery, i was so scared but now i feel better. Her surgery is in a couple of hours and i want her to be happy. She is everything to me and i would do anything to make her be happy. So i will shut down my stupid anxiety and just have faith.

[@jagustaf71]

[@DisneyBirdLady]

I have my surgery this Friday and cannot wait!! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so glad you were able to get it done and it tickles me to death seeing how supportive your parents are. I'm also shocked that you wore a T-shirt! How did you get that thing on? I was told I'd be T-Rex'ing for about a week after surgery so I bought a bunch of button down shirts. May I ask, what kind of camera lens do you use? I have a Canon EOS RP.

[@CoraJosephine]

SO EXCITING! i think they helped me get my clothes on haha. def didn't do it myself. and as for my camera lens, I use the canon EFS 10-18mm lens on my canon eosm50!

[@tinahill9439]

Great video, you are adorable. I got my breast reduction 2009, I waited until I was older 44. I went from an E cup to a D. The size is perfect for me. I’m glad I did it, helped my neck pain get better. They are very perky and nice to have your nipples in the right place lol. Recovery was fairly easy, except the puking after surgery, like you talked about. My scars are not good, thick. My skin just is not good, I have horrible stretch marks. My biggest issue with breast reduction was having no feeling in the bottom half of each breast from the nipple down. It’s a weird feeling, none in the nipples either, that’s the worst part. Thanks for sharing your journey. 😊

[@Anna-tc7bs]

hi Cora! i'm getting my BR in a month and your video has helped me a lot to be less nervous about everything ❤️ are you planning to do a part 2 some time this year?

[@CoraJosephine]

AWWW i'm so glad this video helped you! so excited for you! honestly i got the hang of putting my shirts without raising my arms completely pretty quickly, i just wore big oversized shirts to make it easier and the first couple days my mom helped me a lot!

The marks on the pillow are from the stuff they put on your skin to completely sanitize it for surgery (not sure what it's called). I was covered in it after my surgery 3 weeks ago. Looked like weird fake tan lines on my arms and orangey-brown splotches on my neck.

if they cause you shoulder and back pain your health insurance will most likely help cover it!

The tubes is what really hurts the most but once that second week hit it’s much better you will just be itchy because your scars are healing but I feel alittle better I have been in pain because of the drainage tubes they were suppose to come out Tuesday but since a lot of drainage wasn’t coming out I have to wear it til Monday.
