I'm not planning on breast reduction surgery. i had a 36c sup last year. i was 16. I am about to be 17 and i moved up to a double d cup size and just recently i'm starting to grow out of it. it's getting out of control. i had a c cup breast from age 11 to 16. that means something went wrong. could it be a high fat content diet? what are all the things i could do to reduce the size of my breasts?
excercises? food ? what ? please help!
The most important thing to consider is that as part of breast reduction some surgeons may suggest implants to restore perkiness. Implants have to be changed, at least at the present time, every ten years.
Next is do you desire to breast feed your children. If so you need to discuss this with you surgeon. Most if not all reduction surgery requires the reposition of the nipple and areola. This will effect whether you can breast feed in the future.
When choosing a surgeon. While price is always a factor, cheap is not always good. Ask to see before and after pictures from other patients. Interview several Surgeons before selecting your doctor. Chose a surgeon certified by the College of Plastic Surgeons. This means they have past all the requirement to do Plastic Surgery. If they are only listed by the College of Plastic Surgeons it means they have yet to complete the course and fellowship.
You are only just 17 do not be surprised or upset if a surgeon suggests or even refuses to do your surgery until you are older. In fact any of the Surgeons that do suggest this or just plain refuse are the ones you want to choose from. At 17 you are still growing. Your body is still changing. You are still experiencing the effects of puberty. These doctors may feel, after examining and talking to you, that surgery is best delayed until you are older and puberty is no longer a factor. Puberty can effect a person up through age 21.
I'm not a doctor but common sense tells me; that if the growth spurt you have experienced with your breast is not a result of weight gain, the only other logical answer is the effects of puberty. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

I gained 10 lbs (i used to be stick thin) & my boobs are now around dd when they were a c. weight loss works, but it all depends where you body gains/loses weight. its different for everyone. you can maybe try chest excersizes, but it may just lift them. other than that you may just be stuck the way you are! I mean, they are worse problems then big boobs ;)

I went to my doctor to try to get reduction surgery, and she told me to lose weight first. At first I was so ticked! I wanted the surgery so bad. But I lost weight (in my case, 60lbs) and yes, my breasts went all the way down to a D! I decided I could live with a D cup, compared to an F, so I was happy with that. But (and this is what sucked), my boobs were the very LAST thing to go down. So it wasn't until the last 10-15 lbs that I finally moved down in cup size. It can work like that. If you think you have weight to lose, try that. Stay away from food and drinks with lots of hormones and estrogen. Soy is a big issue - it has a lot of estrogen and can grow your breasts. If you don't need to lose weight, see your doctor and ask about the possibility of surgery. Trust me, you want to take care of this ASAP. Forget all the embarrassment of it, you're back is going to get worse and worse as you age. But try losing weight first, but ONLY if you are overweight (even slightly) and can afford to lose it in a healthy way. [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
