mce,

I had a breast reduction myself, last November. I went from an F cup to a C, and it was the best decision I ever made. I am a hairdresser, so I was off work for longer than normal (due to having to lift your arms for long periods of time), but most office jobs you can go back to within 2 weeks.

They did the keyhole incision on me (around the nipple, and down), instead of keyhole along with the bottom incision, and it was great. I was a little rough as well as impatient with the healing process, so I popped a few stitches, but that was like... moving furniture etc. Pretty stupid of me.

All in all, Im really happy with it. My boyfriend doesnt even care about the scars. I even do a bit of modelling and he refuses to see any of the shots with the scars shopped out!

I really recommend it if you`re having problems, however if you`re looking into having children in the next couple years, you should wait it out. What my surgeon told me was that only 70% of all women can breastfeed without complications, and after a surgery, it docks another 50% off. So that`s something to be wary of. I had to have mine because kids werent in the near future, but it should be an adventure figuring that out when I do.

Hope that helps.
