    It’s so nice to hear someone actually talk openly about Breast Reduction instead of always just Breast Implants! Bigger Breasts aren’t always worked up to be what everyone who doesn’t have them think they are!

      As a man, I honestly don’t care. But hearing what she had to say, this sounded like more of an insecurity towards her looks and how would people judge her body. I’m against doing stuff to your body just to please people in a way or the other. But then again, it’s their choice.

      @@mouath_14 Perhaps when she spoke about the drastic change in her breast size in the span of a year at the age of 12-13 years old, there may have been some insecurities going on as it’s not uncommon for very young girls to feel awkward from all the unsolicited attention a young girl may receive, however past that point it was clearly not about her wanting this procedure because of what other people thought. Not once did she say anything about her peers or other people making comments nor attracting the wrong attentions from makes, etc. Back pain and overall upper body pain is very commonly heard by females as a problem when having very large, natural breasts, and even more so, as she mentioned, on someone who has a very petite body size otherwise.

    First time I’ve heard someone talk about the joys of breast reduction surgery! I love it. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and learned just before the surgery that I could get my breast done for free during the surgery. I was so excited and jumped on it. Definitely gave me something positive to focus on during a difficult time. Having the reduction surgery not only allowed the doctor to take out more tissue that could have been cancer and allowed me to get my perfect C breast back. Thankful that today my cancer is gone and I have smaller boobies. 😊

      It's your body, don't listen to those vain people who are projecting their beliefs onto your body. If you're in pain, and it's something you've seriously been considering, you should start researching and discuss it with your doctor. Some insurances will even pay for some or all of it if it's adversely affecting your health! To be honest, I myself have never had anything beyond a small B. I spent half my life wishing I could get implants, and it had been suggested multiple times to me. I decided I'm going to do what's best for me and my body. Once I stopped listening to other people, I started feeling better about myself. So, long story short, do what's best for you and your body.

      I started complaining in 9th grade and my mom REPEATEDLY told me it wasn't a big deal and she'd seen the horrible scars of a patient she worked on in the ER, and I'd get smaller after having kids, etc... News flash: I got BIGGER. I finally had it done when I was 26. I was engaged at the time and I didn't ask my fiance's opinion at all. I told him I was doing it. I'd been fighting with my insurance company for a long time. I finally got a new job and new insurance and JUMPED at the chance when it came! Like she said in the video, LIFE CHANGING!

    As a child my best friend wore a DDD in 5th grade. She was not even a heavy kid. She ended up being a K cup. She had a reduction for her high school graduation gift. When she woke up she said oh my gosh 😳 you turned me into an a cup. The dr said no honey I could get you smaller than a D cup. The funniest part was I had almost zero boobs. No joke an A cup was to big on me. We joked that she ended up with my boobs by mistake. I finally got implants when I was 21, for the same reasons you got a reduction. I just wanted to be able to buy clothing that fit. I am happy to say I am now a perfect C cup.

    I watched your channel for the first time today….you are adorable. When you were sharing your breast reduction surgery, I immediately thought of my daughter, Summer. Her story is so much like yours. She wore the multiple bras, just like you. She was a cheerleader, and an amazing dancer. I was so proud when she put herself in front of audiences to dance and cheer. She had enough self-confidence, without a moment of embarrassment. When she was 15, I took her to a consultation for breast reduction. She was so petite (5 feet tall, perfect figure everywhere else, but her bra size was 32 DDD). She had the surgery, and was (and still is) 32 C. She has 3 daughters, and it’s looking like her oldest, my granddaughter, Mia, might be facing the same thing. I’m so happy that both you and Summer healed perfectly. She was able to breastfeed all of the girls, and she produced so much “leftover”, so she pumped and donated it. I didn’t even know that was a thing lol. I’m so glad I pursued that option for her. It was hands-down the best parental decision I have ever made.

    I had a breast reduction for my 30th birthday present to myself and I’m now 61. I had very little pain and was back to work in 2 weeks. The most painful part was having drain tubes removed. My insurance did pay for it all because of my back pain and dips in my shoulders from bra straps. I was in 7-8 size pants with 38DD boobs in 7th grade! I wanted a reduction for years and finally did it and I have had absolutely no regrets!

    My daughter has a similar story to urs. She was 17 when she had hers done and she had triple Es and she was in so much pain . She had trouble doing the simplest tasks because they were so heavy and she could never enjoy life. She was always mad at me because I had big breats as well so she took alot of her frustrations out on me cause she thought I passed them on to her. I had lots of talks with her and explained how things like this work. So your videos that u do on topics like this can really inspire and help others that are going through this or have gone through it because listening to someone else can give them that courage . I watch ur family all the time and the love that u 2 have for each other is inspiring even after years of being married and having a baby the way u two look at each other and how ur faces light up gives people like us hope that there is really loving, caring, down to earth, respectful people like yourselves out there. I watch alot of you tubers and u guys are my favourite because of how genuine u guys really are.

    I'm an ageing grandmother and new to your channel but so love the love you share with one another, your children , your wider family, your church, and even your (probably) mostly unknown supporters. I just want to confirm your comments that if people are considering breast reduction, them please, talk it over with the important people and medical people in your life and if you are still wanting it, then go ahead. The health issues you will face in later life with over-sized breasts are extremely painful. As a 75 year old, breast reduction was not something I could ever afford so spent my teenage and 20-something years, with males chatting with me but their eyes were totally focussed on my breasts. Baggy clothes became the order of the day to hide my GG-sized breasts. At my age now, I have a misaligned spine resulting from issues due to the weight of my breasts, I also have permanently mis-shapen shoulders and sever arthritis in those joints from the weight of my breasts. I accept my life how it is but just want to encourage young folk considering breast reduction, not to just think of the "now" situation, think of you future in 40 - 50+ years. Thank you Sarah for sharing your story.

    Congratulations. As a hairstylist I see and hear all kinds of issues with body abnormalities…. Both real and imagined. I myself had hip lipomas that were detrimental to my self esteem growing up. They made daily life so hard cuz there was nothing I could do to make them less obvious. Nothing fit right. It made me obsessed about my weight cuz no matter what I wore. i had an odd shape. Forget what it looked like naked. Omg. The day I had them removed was probably one of the best days of my life. I could finally wear normal, off the rack clothes and not feel so awkward…. I was so misshaped….. I felt so much shame about how overweight they made me look…. Pants cut into me at the waist…. It was horrible. My parents just thought it was a weight thing. But even at my skinniest I was misshaped…..when I finally had the reduction…. I never again had to think about it. I was just a normally shaped lady… I can’t say how much of a relief I felt. Every one of my clients that had their breasts reduced or life long body issues corrected felt that it improved the quality of their lives tremendously. I had to save a long time to do it. Worth it? Oh yea!!!! So I congratulate you 100%.

    I feel this in my soul. I have DD's that I've hated for a long time. I've only just gotten to the point (over the last couple years) where I don't despise them, but I still want them down to a B or a C. People without naturally large breasts just don't understand the physical and emotional pain. For years I would cry because I felt like all people saw me as was a giant walking boob. I worried constantly that, that was all people would see when I would walk into a room. I've had people leave comments on pictures about them, I've been sexually assaulted because of them (and I know that can happen regardless, but I've been assaulted on multiple occasions and it's the boobs they go for 100% of the time.) You just don't feel fully human. That's not even dealing with the physical pain and discomfort. Certain types of exercise are just no goes without multiple sports bras. Running up and down the stairs...painful. I feel so much for all the women who have breasts even larger than mine. Just know you're not alone! If I had the money, I'd get them done. It'll be one of the first things I ask God for when He returns :P
    Thank you so much for talking about your experience. It feels easier to deal with when you know there are other people out there who are feeling the same pain you are. Also, just as a funny side note, I started growing breasts when I was around 8-9 and I remember having a dream, sitting between two boys in my 3rd grade class. It was one of those naked dreams and they were both staring unabashedly at my chest while I covered myself in shame. In 3rd grade! What a tragedy that even little kids know when something is different and feel bad about it.

    I can relate- made worse by being born into a family of smaller breasted women & I was a Tomboy to boot. I actually “grew” through my 20-40’s. They made me socially awkward and internally angry due to the the social ignorance that abounded in my sphere. I became an orthodox Christian as a teenage - this helped me to develop an attitude to handle ignorant situations. I am now in my 50’s, I only wear “minimizers” and I’m down to what you started at, but I’ve grown into my body and matured. Needless to don’t tolerate ignorance.

She said she lost weight and now she barley has any breast left. I say get a good Doctor and one that can account for weight loss and one that can size them correctly or you will have a hard time finding a bra.

Went from having no boobs or A cup to H cup in like 3 seconds😳 I live in Norway and the government actually covers this if you have issues caused by the big boobs which I do. But they told me I should wait until after I have kids and breastfeed🤷‍♀️ I'm not overweight or anything and now I have K cup🙃 they just keep growing it seems.

      @@pattyfluegel7816 Correct. But her government SUGGESTED that she wait - in the end it's her choice and will be financially covered either way. So if she's choosing not to get it done now, there's obviously a reason why. That reason has to be pretty important to put up with the back pain and issues caused by a large chest. I was simply explaining WHY she MIGHT feel that way in case you don't have experience to draw from. But you go on with your defensiveness sweetie. 😘

    As tiny as you are Sarah I can only imagine how uncomfortable you were!!! My poor niece experienced something similar, in 8th grade she was an A/B cup by the middle of 9th she was a DDD. She has played Soccer since age 6 and would literally cry after running sprints once her chest developed. One boob was literally the same size as a junior soccer ball. We measured them against her bra measurements. SAME SIZE!!! My sister was Thankfully able to get her these custom compression bras to wear during Soccer and track but they are Very expensive. My niece wanted a reduction and my sister told her to wait until she was at least out of highschool, that way she would have the majority of her growing done. After seeing what she went through I can totally understand your decision, and commend you for being so open, and honest with your story!!! Thank you!!!♥️♥️♥️

    This is random but I’ve always thought you’d look so good with ginger hair! I mean ofc your hair is already such a beautiful color but I don’t know I just feel like you’d totally pull off ginger colored hair!

    For the record, insurance can cover it if it is affecting you medically. My cousin also had absurdly large breast at a very young age and because she had asthma it affected her ability to breath properly. It doesn't hurt to check with your insurance provider to find out.
