I had my reduction done over 10 years ago now. I have very few scars and I'm more sensitive now than I was before. Before I had the reduction I could never feel anything in my nipples. Now even the slightest wind makes them tingle and hard.

I am 5'3" and about 115 at the time with 36DDs. I'm now the same height, 120 and a size 36B. I don't regret for a single moment ever getting it done. I wish I would have done it sooner.

If she gets it done, let her know to use Mederma to lessen the scarring. As for sensitivity, it will all come down to how much she scars and how good a surgeon she has. I had a wonderful doctor who walked me through everything before and after, going over every single detail with me and even providing me with post surgery exercises to help me get my posture back in shape again and to get my body back in shape from all the heavy weight that was on me before.

As for the hospital stay, I was in for two days. The doctors felt I wasn't ready to go home yet because I still had a lot of draining and they really didn't want to send me home with the drainage tubes. Yes, some doctors do send home the patient with the drainage tubes still in place if they removed a lot and there is still a lot of drainage to be done. Usually you go back like the next day or two to have them removed.

Oh and after the surgery, she will not be able to lift heavy things for weeks and she definitely will not be able to raise her arms very far for a long time. And she will definitely need someone with her for awhile to take care of her with even the simplest things, like washing her hair. Now THAT was a nightmare.

I have a very good kinky friend who had the surgery years ago and it was great for her. She does have scars but they are under her breasts and only noticeable if you are intimate with her or she is suspended upside down (which she is a suspension whore.)

She and I have never really talked about the breast reduction, but everyone who is close to her knew and were supportive when she had it done. It was a total non-issue for us and something that made her life a lot easier.

Please let your friend know that people don't love her for her boobs and no one really cares about the scars. If it improves her quality of life (which it probably will), the people who care the most will be OMG supportive of it.

I will also chiime in with the "my only regret is that I couldn't do it sooner" crowd. Depending on the doctor he may not actually remove her nipples, he can cut around the areola and move them up still attached to the tissue she is keeping. Sensativity loss seems to average around thw 40% range when it's done that way. My nipples are still over sensative, but they are getting better and I am able to tolerate more and more. My surgery was last August, so I am not quite at my year out mark yet.
Also, regarding breastfeeding and kids etc...depending on how she feels and if she has kids already or not, she may want to wait until after she is done being pregnant. Not because of the breastfeeding issue, though that is part of it to consider, she might end up restretching her breasts out during pregnancy and actually ruin the surgery. Plus the scar that runs from the nipple straight down to the underside of the breast WILL widen as her breasts grow to accomodate the milk she will be making and scar tissue no longer has the elasticity that regular skin does so it will not go back into shape after she loses her milk. So, that's something to really consider heavily regarding the timing of her reduction. If she waits until after kids, I would advise she wait at least a year after having kids and finishing breastfeeding with her last kid to have the reduction.
Again, I am glad I had mine. I am also glad I waited till I was done having kids. I wish I could have affored it sooner after I was done breastfeeding my last one...but all told, it really wasn't that long.

Good luck!
Luci
