If I go through with breast reduction surgery, what can I expect?

I don’t have ginormous boobs like some women, but they’re big enough that they’re starting to cause some problems. They’re a C+, and It was great when I was younger. They were stereotypically “perfect.”

As I’m aging, though, I’m starting to experience back pain because of them, have for over a year now, and it just keeps getting worse. There are exercises I’ve tried and they help, but the fact is, my back isn’t getting any stronger and my boobs aren’t getting any smaller.

There are problems from an aesthetic POV, too. I just can’t go without a bra any more because it just looks sloppy. I envy woman with smaller breasts who can wear cute sundresses with no bra.

I wear loose shirts and they just hang straight down, which causes me to look “matronly.”

I really think I would like to be a B but it’s a huge change in my life.

If any one has any experience with this, or knows of someone who’s had the procedure, could you share your experience with me? Were you/they happy in the end or did they regret it? Did they have any problems with recovery or at any time after the fact.
