what was your size before and after?
I wanted to ask this too but not sure if it's too personal
Yeah I was curious too
I'm happy to answer your question! I started at a 34DDD and wanted to go down to a C. They removed 350 grams of tissue from the right and 400 grams from the left! I'm still in the healing process and from what I've researched I won't know my true end size until about 6mo-1yr post-op.
@@RileyRehl Thank you for answering! This really helps me out :)
@@MynameisPadre Why do you have to be a creep? 🙄
What I love about your channel is that you’re so real with us. You don’t have not give us an explanation for any of your decisions but you do. You share your life with us in a very personal way that feels like more than a TH-cam video. I truly feel like I know you and you are the most genuine person ever. Love that you made a decision to better yourself and that makes you happy. And you sister is amazingly sweet and caring 💜
So brave for being so open and vulnerable with us always! Thank you for sharing Riley, it means a lot! So happy that you got to do this for yourself!
Congrats on your surgery. My sister had breast reduction surgery years ago and she is so happy that she did it. She went from an F cup to a C cup and doesn't suffer with back or shoulder pain anymore. It's been over 20 years since her surgery and she doesn't have any regrets.
So proud of you for doing what was right for you and having the courage to share that with us! Cant wait to continue to follow your journey and I'm so happy that this has helped the way that you see yourself. Just remember that you're beautiful no matter what and we love you.
i'm only nine minutes in and you're so much like me! regarding the whole issue with your chest, getting anxious about money, hating being in pain or injured, i'm so glad you uploaded this video because i'm looking into reductions at the moment and seeing your story even only 10 mins in is helping already. thank you
I’m a guy, but this was super interesting and the way you led through the whole process is awesome. I’m glad it worked out so well for you and respect for taking action despite being so scared of it.
It’s nice to see you got such a supportive family and your monologue in the car after past-op had me rolling :D
Great that there are guys like you. I see so many incels online saying bigger the better. They can all gtfo
you are so happy with your decision and that's what really matters, so proud of you!
I had a breast reduction surgery last summer and it was absolutely the best decision for me. I went from thinking constantly about the size of my chest to literally not giving them a second thought because because ‘yep they look great’ and I can just move on with my day, which is actually life changing!! I’m so happy you were able to take this step to improve your mental health and self image ❤❤
That's awesome. That's my main fear with plastic surgery. I'm afraid it would be a slippery slope. So hearing it actually solved the problem for you and it's done is really good to hear. Thank you for sharing!
I just started the process of talking to doctors after wanting this procedure for YEARS. Your video was sosososo encouraging and helpful. Crying over wanting to simply wear a tank top is so real. Just wearing a simple top may seem so small but it means so much. Glad you had a great experience and thanks for sharing your journey!
I’m between 32DDD and and F, since my weight fluctuates so much.
I have a lot of body dysmorphia from my size and I’ve been looking into a reduction for years.
Thank you for the video and im glad your surgery worked so well
I have struggled with anorexia since I was in highschool. After over coming it, I grew large breast and it’s hard because it gives me so much dysmorphia.
I’ve relapsed in my early 20s and it was comforting to have smaller breasts but it left me with excess skin that sagged.
I appreciate you opening up about your insecurities and struggles.
Over all I’m happy for you and find this video encouraging
I love how vulnerable you are! The angle during the car ride back was hilarious
thank you for posting this Riley 💕this is something I struggle with every single day of my life. You posting this means soo much thank you.
I've wanted a reduction for many, many years but I've never made plans to go through with it. Thank you for posting this video - I know I'm going to learn a lot. :) Sending you love.
Respect for keeping yourself natural and beautiful
Did u finally do it?
im happy that you did this for yourself, congratulations
I really enjoyed this because I struggle with my breast size. I’m so glad you did this for yourself. ❤❤❤
This has been really helpful for me, I really appreciate you being so honest and seeing all your stages of pre and post op situations. Given me a lot to think about and great motivation to take the plunge, thank you!! xx
I'm so glad that you were able to share this decision with us, I totally get how personal it is. I got a breast augmentation this year after wanting one since I was in 8th grade. Now that I'm 20, I'm so thankful that I was able to afford it and go through with it. I was back and forth with wanting to change my body but also knowing that God created me the way he did for a reason, but ultimately I felt at peace with my decision and with God. I'm proud that you went through with it, surgery and recovery is not easy. I'm also glad that you went through with it for you and not for anyone else. That's what matters the most!
Okay so I have more thoughts now that I have finished the video. I feel like we had very similar experiences and reasons for doing it. So I was a 34AAA, which barely exists. Most stores don't have bras that fit me at all. I never felt confident in myself, my chest being a large part of that. I knew that it wouldn't fix my confidence, but it would certainly help. I also was scared for my first consultation and I felt like I was going to have to convince everyone there why I wanted one. But everyone understood and I felt so validated. I am now a 34B and I am so thankful I went through with it. I'm glad that your surgery went well & I hope that you're feeling more confident now and that you don't have that pressure to work out more to get a smaller chest!
@@katiestrombeck5703 Love this! Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts! I love that you approached God with this desire and once you felt peace that's when you decided to go ahead with it. Making a decision like this is scary, but I'm grateful I went through with it and I'm so glad you feel the same about your experience!
@@RileyRehl I'm also a Christian Riley god is working through you praying for you Riley 👍🙏✝️🌍
Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy for you! I had my reduction in 2015 when I was 18 years old. 34G to 34C. Best decision I have ever made! I have gained weight now and they are bigger but still the best thing ever! I’m also currently pregnant and I am too worried about breast feeding but I still wouldn’t change my decision. 😊 congrats again!
I am personally feeling so happy for you, that you did what u had to do. And I m genuinely so glad to see you all happy. LOVE 💕
❤
I have been following you for several years now, and this video was so good to see! I am glad you are finally fixing your relationship with food, and you are just glowing in the three months post-op video. It's amazing to see, and I'm happy the Lord is working in your life in so many ways!
Also hair tutorial/routine pls?? I also have wavy/borderline curly hair and yours always looks amazing.
thank you for this video! i've been wanting a reduction since puberty just about. i'm a DDD and hate how i look and feel (constantly uncomfortable and neck & back aches/headaches). you've convinced me to finally go for it.
im proud of you Riley ! youre so braveee
wow they look good so glad ur ok and the surgery was a success I know your happy thank u for being honest cause some dont and you have a team of troopers around you which is a plus
Thank you for posting this !! It really helped me understand the process !! I'm down for a Q&A video
Hey, lots of love and so proud of you that you did the thing that was right for you ❤️ You’re amazing girl ❣️
So much love for you Riley ❤
thank you SO MUCH for sharing! happy to see you are happy
Super glad u did this for yourself🙏🏼 I’m coming up on my 1 yr anni on June 1st, and I’m feeling a lot of mixed emotions to be honest! While I don’t regret my decision in the SLIGHTEST, I wish my surgeon had taken me smaller. I had asked to be a C or D cup at most, but currently measure at about an F…thinking I might have to go in for a revision (but that’s a whole different end of the spectrum I’ll have to explore now). I hope your recovery’s been going well and that you end up with the results you desired! Best wishes💕
I’m two weeks post op now and I am checking on other people :)
I am having my low moments, where I wish I could be better and be able to go back to my normal routine. I miss my workout and sleeping without a bra.
But definitely the best decision ever! So I feel you!
Have a speed recovery!
so so proud of u!!
I had a breast reduction in july! still healing but happy about my decision already! unless you go through it nobody knows the struggle of big boobs. my life hasn't changed that much but now I'm comfortable while living it!!! it's so surreal how I can go through the day w/o thinking about my boobs once now😌
congrats!! so happy that you did this for yourself
This video is so so helpful!!! I'm glad I decided to look up other people's experiences because it really eases my own anxiety. I have a breast reduction in less than a week and while I have had surgery before, it's been almost a decade! The part I've always been worried about was the anesthesia- even more just the vulnerability of it than the fear of being unconscious while under a knife lol... thank you so much for the thorough documentation and I'm glad it went well for you!
SO PROUD OF YOU !
Rileyyy, omg I love your video so much, I got emotional a least ten times hahaha.I had my surgery this June as well and it has been the best decision of my life. I understand so much crying for water omg, I have never been so thirsty in my whole life. Congratulations!! Sending love from Brazil
Thank you so much for posting this video. I go in for a breast reduction in 4 days. I haven't told many people in my life and I feel like it's so inappropriate to bring up in casual talk, however I've been counting the days down for months. I've never had surgery or any serious medical procedure for that matter. I'm terrified. But finding your video has brought me much needed comfort and I want you to know that. I don't have anybody to care for me after the surgery.. I broke down a little at the mention of you having sisters to take care and do your hair for you. My preteen son swears he can help me (I'm a single mom), so I hope he doesn't have to do much of anything at all. Only time will tell. But I want you to know that I really appreciated you taking the time to post this video. It was so very personal, but it was exactly what someone like me needed.
So proud of you!!❤️
you are literally a real princess you are stunning!!!!!
Amazing amazing amazing!! Thank you so much for this video. I’m having my breast reduction surgery in less than a month and super excited and nervous. Unfortunately I live on my own so I hope I can figure out how to deal with it by myself after the surgery. You were lucky that you had help😊
You're brave, really really brave my girl. So happy for you ❤❤❤
this video was so incredibly helpful-- thank you for being so open and honest about it all! i'm working through some similar body image issues, and this was JUST the video i needed to see!
you’re so funny and adorable, congrats!!
Just got done watching your video and I thank you! My surgery date is Feb 8th and man your video helped a lot. I had to pray and talk to God about this and came to peace with it. Praying that your healing process is as smooth and blessed as possible!
How did it go?
I was sitting here hoping for you to upload💕💕 yay
Hope you're doing well at this moment. Lots of love from Malaysia ❤❤❤
I’m getting mine tomorrow, I’m really really scared but also hugely excited!!
your sister is such a lifesaver
I'm getting mine in less than 15 days and even though I'm extremely excited, my anxiety has been spiking. This video helped me calm me down a bit. Thank you!!
I have watched a trillion of these videos because I am getting a reduction on May 1st and this one is by far the most realistic! Thank you so much for this, it is truly making a difference for so many people like me who are just looking for the raw, real version of what we should expect :)
Watching this video to educate myself before I get my boob reduction. I'm honestly terrified but my big breasts bring me so much discomfort. Been wanting to get the surgery for a few years but always chicken out.
Edit: So far through the video this has only motivated me to go through with the breast reduction. As you said, It's also my biggest insecurity and it was definitely a big part of my anorexia. I didn't know I was gonna relate so much to this video when I started watching it.
So glad you found some encouragement!!
U are stupid men love huge breasts that what men want
Your video was funny but informative. I m going in Agusta for first consultation
@@CupcakeBella1220Unfortunately not all insurance policies cover it even for medically necessary. Mine used to but I found out it’s not covered under my current policy so I had to pay out of pocket.
@@tnhezi331Oh stop it. Man's wants do not supercede a womans comfort and pain relief. You're a very shallow man. Stop commenting that on all these threads. Your ignorance is embarrassing.
Thank you for this video! And specially thank you for recommending the subreddit. I went and looked at it for a while and realized a lot of the problems I have with my chest are very similar to what most women there had, and that got me thinking.
I guess I never considered I was big enough to want or need a reduction but a lot of women there look like me and their results are what I think in my mind would be perfect for me!
I think for a long time I've been really wrapped up in the societal expectation that we should be grateful for big boobs and want as big as possible cause thats what men like. Its silly I know, but I've definitely felt that pressure even if nobody has said those words to me exactly.
I still have to think a lot about this obviously but I thank you for giving me the information needed to ponder. Take care!
I’m getting mine in December right around Christmas time and I’m nervous but also really excited :)
i got my reduction last year in december, best decision i ever made! you will be so happy and i’m so happy for you!
Literally the best video I have seen, I’m getting ready to have my reduction on Aug 7th and have been going through nightmares and mental things about it. Your video definitely made me feel so calm and reminded me y I’m doing this and that I’m not alone or selfish for it. I have my family supporting me but the fear of being put under is the one thing making me so nervous. I’m so happy to have seen your video, thanks for posting it because of this video I’m more confident in my surgery!❤
I’m so glad to hear that! Good luck on your surgery!! 🤍
Good luck! I just had mine done three days ago. I have drains and they do hurt at the incision site but other than that and general soreness that comes and goes, I’m mostly awake and napping on and off. Walking around the house a bit and yesterday was able to walk up to a local restaurant for iced hot chocolate with a friend.
Although I get nervous when being put under, I’ve had various surgeries over the years. My first two were eye surgeries-one as a baby and the other as a toddler. I was also put under for both wisdom teeth and a root canal, and also a colonoscopy.
We have the same reaction to anesthesia. Emotions flying off the wall!
I’m getting my surgery done on Thursday, also at CAPS but with a different doctor! Thanks for making this video, it’s been so incredibly helpful. ❤️
How are you recovering
I struggle with making decisions for myself mostly because of how my parents are usually very against them. This has literally caused me to live in fear and I am still scared to do simple things like asking to go out with my friends for a night because ik they will either say no, or make me cut my time with friends short. Seeing you cry because your dad (who is such a fun person! I love watching your videos with your dad & family) wasn't 100% for the surgery, made me tear up and maybe I should be a little more selfish with some of my decisions :)
I am living for the car ride home.
Thank you so much for the video. I've been contemplating a reduction for 6 years
My poor daughter is really struggling.. She is 18 and a triple D… She struggles bad with bra shopping, and bikinis are a literal nightmare.. Her top is just not even close to the size of her bottoms. We’ve been talking about reduction, and I fully support it. I’m actually gonna send her this video. Ty for not being afraid to share such a intimate personal experience with us.. You have no idea how many young girls you are helping out.. I can’t even begin to imagine how uncomfortable it must be for the ladies who are very too heavy. I’m a small 36 D and I freaking hate it.. I’ll keep ya posted !!! 🖤
Congrats on the bravery to do something like this, know that you are such a beautiful girl no matter what, like I envy ur prettiness and I hope u know God blessed u in ur looks 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Going in for mine on Tuesday 24th. Holy heck girl I can't believe they literally sent you home straight afterwards! Like should have been an overnight stay at a minimum!! I'm going from a 34E to God knows what. Thankfully here in New Zealand we get a couple of nights. While we've got free medical care, I had to go private because I didn't qualify under our public system. Thank goodness I've got private medical! Thanks for sharing your journey.
holy shit your experience is oh too familiar... literally scary how similar lol but i am setting up my appointment for my consultation tomorrow and i couldn't be more excited!!!
They look great, hope you feel great ❤
I liked your honest and raw video.
She was making everyone laugh during her pain ......u so strong girl ....lots of love 😘
you are so beautiful inside and out!!!
skin care routine is flawless 😍😍😍
You have such an Amazing family!!. So Lucky!. 💕✨️
I got so emotional while watching the video. Only you know what's best for you. I'm glad the staff at the hospital has been so supportive ♥️
Im having my breast reduction in 10 days!!! This was so helpful thank you :)
I currently have the same size as you did before (34 DDD) and I have been thinking about this as well but have been too scared to actually go through with it. This has been very helpful for me since i struggle a lot with body image since im a skinny girl with a big chest. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 💖
34 is not skinny!
@@tijay850734 is band size so yes it is...what exactly do u define as skinny...
@@CuteBlueCherri It is NOT skinny it is mid size! skinny is 28G like my friend was, she had another pregnancy and breast fed again and they went down to an 28E
her back/band size is the same as her daughter age 11!
i measure a 32ff but i wear a 34 on the inside hook for comfort due to pain from health issues! i am not skinny either!
@@CupcakeBella1220 DDD isn't big enough for a reduction especially at that age! obviously any surgeon that chops up a teenagers tits is clearly holding a massive red flag and waving it in your face... Yanks are so superficial and vain which is why there are so many cowboy surgeons that get rich on fools that rush into unneeded surgeries! a band is what supports the breasts so indentations are only caused when women wear the wrong size bra with no support and then tighten the straps far too much... they mean nothing apart from more poor decisions from the woman! don't encourage a girl to get surgery when simply cutting out animal products would make the titties shrink down as the animal fat and hormones are responsible for making the tits fat... lose fat to lose fat!
@@tijay8507What country? The bra sizes change drastically from American in different countries. I am 5'6 and 125 lbs and I wear a 36D USA sizing.
I’m glad you made the decision that’s right for you. Also, your birthday is the same as my sister’s!
Missed u!!❤️
Getting mine in a few days..freaking out still but it’s either this or my back giving out since I have started getting beginning stages of scoliosis and beginning stages of degenerative disc disease due to my chest. Currently crying and curled up but this made me laugh. Glad your doing well!
I feel you girlie, i hope everything went well for you, im waiting for my thyroid results to come in better than the previous blood test. I know just how you feel, im petite with a HH cup it hurts so much and at 42 i don't see my spine keeping me upright for the next ten years.
awww your sister is so happy for you 🥹
I don't know why I cried watching this vid. I wanted to reduce mine for so long but I'm terrified. You are so brave! 😭😭😭 My breasts give me so much discomfort. Pain in the back, shoulder and neck all the time even when I'm sleeping and many other problems. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Not me crying too😢
I can't wait to get my reduction, currently am saving up for it!
Love your videos! You're very transparent
Thank you for sharing! I made my consultation for 3/2! I feel the same way, if I don’t eat or exercise a lot I will loose my boop fat! But that’s not going to work! But I always said it! So I am excited for this appt!
I’m excited I’m going from a 38 J to a D in March 🥰🥰🥰.. been waiting 3 years
Tomorrow is my pre-op and I am pretty scared, I've been waiting for around a year now and in a little over a week I have surgery. I am excited and nervous, scared, all the above. Your journey looks like it went smoothly and was successful, very happy for you! 🫶
34F to hopefully a B here and im so ready for this. Your video was extremely helpful.
This was so helpful. Thank you for posting
Girl I feel you! I've wanted one since I was in middle school! I was a G cup a 125 - 130 lbs in 2012
Ive gained weight since then - so I was probably a cup up
I was wearing a lululemon DD cup because sizing is so innacurate if you don't go to a specialty store
The amount of times I've cried in a change room because nothing fits is crazy
I also have awful neck, upper back and shoulder pain
I got put on the waitlist in 2019 and just got it yesterday! Here in Canada it is covered under MSP which is amazing
I know it could impact breast feeding but I'm not sold on the idea that I want kids and I'm not waiting on an "if"
So so happy and can't wait to see the results once swelling goes down and time allows for healing
This is very nice to see🥰 since 9 or 10 years I‘ve been thinking about a reduction (I‘m turning 24 next week and I started thinking about it literally the day they started to grow more and more😂). I am a small person and idendify as enby/demigirl so it doesn‘t fit at all. Well but the optic is not my main problem…it’s a pain finding a suitable bra which has enough support🙈 I‘m looking sooo forward to the OP🎉
I’m getting my reduction tomorrow, i’m very excited for the less boobs part but yeah the whole surgery thing scares the crap out of me. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am currently a 32 I/J cup and am going town to ideally a C cup
Hi Riley ❤ Hope your doing well! Love you from the Philippines
So happy for u❤️
I feel like no one is talking about how much her little sister was such a big help!!! Likes she’s the sweetest!!!🥺🥺🥺😍
This video was so informative, thanks!
If it makes you happy. Go for it❤
I’m getting mine done next month. You don’t even know how much I appreciate you making this video. ❤❤❤
If they look good and symmetrical just dropped don't do it it's look.disgusting the reductions they look so bad.
Wow. Thank you. Congratulations!!
Thank you for talking about the cost too!!!!!
ur hair is so pretty
so happy for you
I have had a best reduction. There was little to no pain after the surgery. I was very lucky I had it done by the NHS
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Just had mine. I'm 6 days PO and I'm itchy as so looking though other peoples experiences to see if itchy is normal. You did such a great job on articulating your journey.
Thanks 🙏
For my they took 700grms from each breast.
