Melanie, I support you all the way girl! Thank you for sharing such a personal thing with us. This is such a personal choice that no one has the right to say you shouldn't do what you want to do. I have never had a large chest until I had my boys and when I BF them for a whole year. I was only up to a C,but for me it was a lot. I can't even imagine how you feel always having had a large chest. Do what you feel is right for you girl and what you know will make you feel more comfortable! Xo
Thank you. You are so sweet. This actually was 14 years ago, so definitely in the past. I'm super healthy for an almost 52 year old. Sounds to me like you r giving it a lot of thought & not jumping into it like I did without enough knowledge. I don't share about this often, but do when I think it might help others. Bottom line after everything is done and said, I would do it over again. Just a bit differently. I really look forward to hearing about your journey & supporting you thru it.XO
i love these sort of videos! real life stuff! def supporting video! love you xxx
Melanie, Do what makes YOU happy and don't worry about what others think. Go for it girl!!
Melanie I wish you all the best. I am all for doing things in life to make a person feel better about themselves and to lift self esteem. You've done your research and you have people around you who will love and support you. Shannon : )
Support you 100%! I'm always so excited when I see you have a new video up :) definitely do the vlogs so we can see how you're doing through all of this. Hugs for Stella and the fur babies!
Hi! I know this is an older video but I also had a breast reduction and it was a huge decision and I'm so excited for you! Your back will feel so much better!!
Totally support you in this. I think you should be able to do what makes you feel good about yourself! Hope the surgery goes well!
Happy for you and your decision. And you pushed me over the edge to buy the pro palette with that last tutorial!
Melanie, I wish you all the best with your surgery!! If it makes you feel better about yourself, then by all means do it. I wish you a safe surgery and a quick recovery. Prayers going your way! Hugs, Colleen xo :)
Good for you! Id love to see your vlogs on this. I keep chickening out after i had twins, happy to see your not scared!
Yes, absolutely. My baby was only 5 months old. I shouldn't have even considered it until she was at least a year. Also I had a huge amount of tummy to remove. 7 1/2 pounds of skin. I went from a size 12-14 to a 3. With that amount of skin removed the chances for necrosis are much higher. I wasn't aware of that & now would have a serious conversation with my surgeon about that, symptoms, etc. There's a lot to my story, but the initial debreeding my surgeon did I should have been put out.
Thank you Erika! Fine tuning is a nice way to put it :)
I completely understand :) I am super happy and proud of you for doing what is right for you even though your friends and family are not super supportive. I am so excited for you! Less than weeks!!!! I will for sure be thinking about you! You will do great!
I also have been contemplating a breast reduction. I am 30, a F cup, and am waiting to make sure I am 100% not having any kids because breast feeding is also important to me. That being said I am happy for you and really hope you decide to share your journey.
Personally girl I think you look bomb! But I totally understand feeling uncomfortable! I lost 40 lbs since college and I felt like a whole new person. After 2 babies though some has snuck back and I'm not 100% "comfortable" again. My friend had a breast reduction and she loved it!!! I 100 % support you in all you do girl!!! Love and kisses!!
Steph xo
so excited for you! I definitely want to do something about my muffin top after I'm finished being a baby factory too ;) Would love the vlogs... thanks for sharing about this!
Thank you so much!!! Let me know if you eventually decide to do it! You live in a great place to have it done ;) Lots of good docs to choose from!
I had two c-sections and my stomach is not anywhere how it was. However, being cut open twice I would never sign up for being cut open again in any way. I do completely support you though with your decision. God bless and I pray it goes well.
Thank you so so much for sharing this! I am so sorry this happened to you. Sounds so scary! Finding the right person was for sure at the top of my list. I am glad that you are healthy now! I really appreciate you feedback!
It's so crazy you did this video because my husband and I were just talking about tummy tucks because after 5 babies I need one!! ;)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Would you be able to tell me what you wish you had done differently in terms of preparing or recovery?
mel you go girl if that is what you want to do for yourself lots of folks in the weight loss community are having tummy tucks and removing excess skin you will be fine take the pain meds thell give you and you will be fine
You go girl! Do what makes you happy!
I had an extended tt and lift after having my 4th child. My aftermath was horrific and your surgeon is right. There is nothing you can do about the muscles that are pulled apart and hanging skin. I would suggest research and more research. I actually had major complications from my tt and almost died from it. HOWEVER, I was incapacitated with my hanging skin. If I had done more research I don't believe I would have had any complications. I would do it again. It was life changing.
Just in case you are curious, the friend of mine that had it done had the hard time because her body didn't work well with the stitches. She leaked blood from them for about 6 months after the surgery... I would have to tell her to go to the bathroom because she would have blood on her shirt and not even know it.
Thank you Kimberly! And enjoy the palette :)
Thank you so much for the suggestion for the channel. I will go check your friend out! Love hearing other people's experiences!
Thank you Erica! and it's true... the grass is always greener on the other side, huh?
I wish you the best too Melanie! I think if this will help you for the way you feel for the future, then go for it, especially since you obviously have a wonderful husband and family to help you through this. Of course all of us will keep you in our prayers and I just know it will turn out great!!!! Thanks for sharing this!! x o PS Love seeing Sophie!!!
That is fantastic to hear Michelle! Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
it's your body and I think you should do what makes you happy, good luck!
The Doc said that she would try as much as possible to get me to a size close to what I want but she does not go by bra sizes. That was a bit of a bummer to hear but my overall hope it to get as small as she can get me. So I really have no idea of what the ultimate size would be. And I for sure won't be wearing Target bras on a daily basis :) I just think it would be nice to have an option :) I can't even imagine what the is like. Sounds amazing!
I had a breast reduction in July! It was the best gift ever!!!
I have! I have a whole list I created based on the things I have been seeing :) I am really so so excited for you... it's almost days away now! I would love to see pictures if you are up to it! Do you have a blog??? You should consider vlogging!
Thank you for the suggestion Aretha!
Thank you Erica! and it's true... the grass is always greener on the other side, huh? :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words!
I TOTALLY agree with you on EVERY point about wanting to have positive self perception. I have the same exact issues with my chest, and have done since I was thirteen. After my son I went up from a triple d to an H, and they seem exponentially bigger now. I'm gonna get the exact same thing done. And I salute you honey, Rock on. I hope that my results will be exemplary.
We tried with the insurance. Because of my height and weight my doctor said that she would have to take more than half, the equivalent of 550 cc implants. She thought it would be too much. I was bummed. But it is 1000% worth it for me to pay for it out pocket.
If that surgery it's going to make you feel good and happy with you do it! Thanks god I don't need that surgery but if I need it I wil do it !..... When I was pregnant I have a very big belly but some how came back normal and with no stretch marks it was a miracle!
Thanks so much Steph!!! Hugs!!!
Thank you Colleen!
That is awesome!!!! Please keep me updated on your recovery! I would love to keep in touch!
He did the first procedure without even a sedative. Also I had bleeding issues which they swept under the carpet until it was almost too late. I would have done more investigating of my surgeon and for sure had gone to a different place.
110% support ya on your decision:)
I would love to follow your story and wish you the best on your journey.
Wow! Big news! I 100% support you:). And, I think that you will find that more people than you think will be too! Another baby is still a possibility for me, but after that I would consider some "fine tuning"!!!
Thank you Elise!
Thank you Lana!
Thank you Emily!
I can't imagine that they can bring you all the way down to a C. That's what I wanted-remember that after surgery, I exercised & lost 15 and I never went down to a C. If you want to take care of your Post op breasts & keep them perky-I suggest not buying Target bras. Boobs are heavy so it's worth the investment to go somewhere like Victoria's Secret or nicer:) After the swelling goes down, remember to get fitted properly, too. My dr said some ppl regret augmentations no one regrets reductions:)
Thank you sweet Lizzy!
Thank you so so much!
I know the feeling of growing early. I just hope and pray my daughter doesn't get that. I still hate it after 3 kids thank God didn't grow too much but it's just soooo uncomfortable. No one would understand it only who has gone thru it. Losing weight doesn't fix everything. :(
I'm shocked that insur won't cover reduction because in your case-it is medically necessary. My friend had hers done by the same doctor (we went to a doctor in LA who actually works on a lot of celebs, one of the nurses said that you see a celeb claiming in a mag that they haven't had any work done but that they were just in their office, LOL) Anyway, you will still be larger than you want to be for maybe close to a year (swelling) I'm not a 34D. Continue.....
Thank you!
I know it is, I understand everything you are saying. I can totally relate esp. the part about the older men looking and mentally acting nasty when looking at you. God I hated that being 16 and being looked at like a piece of meat.. ugh.. I had the surgery and have a lot of regrets about it..
You have my support! And I think it would be awesome if you vlogged your journey. :)
I think that if it is making you feel uncomfortable you should have the surgery! You've wanted longer enough with the reduction. I think having both surgeries would do a world of good for you!
Thank you sweet lady!
Thank you!!!
red meat is good for increasing your antibodies, but it's ok if you don't agree, just do all that you can to get super healthy from now til your surgery :)
Melody, thank you so so much for leaving me this comment! I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me. My insurance will not cover it, we tried :( I am beyond excited to have smaller boobs. I think its going to be the best thing that has ever happened ;) I am dying to buy a swimsuit at a regular store and buying a bra at a regular store.... it will feel like such a treat! Do you mind if I ask how small you were able to go? Do you find your boobs fit in regular bras well?
Thank you for letting me know Autumn!
I was the girl with the small tits. :) They also called me Karen Carpenter since I was a skinny mini back then. Now- the tummy has got me down, it's been through hell and back with my kids and they are older- the tummy is getting worse. :( I'm not overweight either. Of course- your baby is worth it but that doesn't mean we have to suffer with issues that can sink us mommies into a depression. I'm leaving for Mexico in a couple of weeks for my birthday and freaking out. My hubby doesn't care what my belly looks like, but I do. Surgery is scary but it's worth it! The pain goes away obviously...having a baby is no picnic. I had mine with no drugs so it really fucking sucked. :) Thanks for these videos!
Danni Hauler I'm so glad they help you!!!!! You can do this!
Thank you so much! Maybe I can inspire you :)
BR. Best thing I did.. Happy now I want tummy tuck
do what makes you happy
That's the most important part to me :)
100% Support Sweetheart
Don't do the reduction!
"eat enough red meats" to get healthy? Eating a lot of red meat hasn't been on the list of how to get healthy for a long time. I politely suggest instead to cut back on the red meat and increase vegetable intake and healthy fats from nuts and fish. Other than that, I agree.
i wasn't going to watch cuz its not my kind of thing, all i can say is get into your best physical and mental and spiritual and emotional health over the next couple of months, as much as you can (and every little bit helps) drink more water, walk a little more laugh a lot, watch positive videos, pray, eat enough red meats, its not only about only the after, you want to be healthy going into it, and anything little change you do will help, good luck
I did it again--I'm a 34D gosh can I even read the stupid tag---sorry. I really want to be a C don't I...LOL
My support to you
