I had a breast reduction in 1987, which I was 22 years old. I was a 38DD, size 5 bottom. It was the best thing I ever did. The recovery period was not bad. It's been 21 years since I had it and can't remember much but I do remember I did not have a hard time with recovery and actually recovered quicker than normal. Some doctors may tell you that you can't breast feed after having a reduction but that is not true. You still are able to generate milk. The only thing about the sensitivity to the nipples is the full sensation does not come back. I would recommend it to anyone. Good Luck and God Bless!
