If I ever won lotto this is the first thing I'd do (second is some serious lipo all over LOL)
I was a generous B cup, then went on the pill, then years after had Caitlin.. I'm now a 10E 
Anyone know where I can find info about the public funding criteria?

My MIL is getting it done, they apparenlty have a certain number of allocations in different health sectors, and breast cancer patients take priority. You have to have a certain number of 'points' to get on the public list and have 3 referrals from differnt medical professionals (I think, could be 2). Not sure what else from there though

I had one about 10 years ago and am soooo glad that i did it. I went from a 12F to a 12C
The recovery time is about a week off work and then no heavy lifting for a couple of weeks after that. The pain isnt too bad - boobs just feel really heavy and i vomitted from the anaesethic for about 5 days and fractured my ribs from this.
The scarring isnt to bad and now they have such good techniques that minimises the scarring. As for weird looking nipples, just make sure you get a good surgeon - i dont think mine look weird 
I would definately wait until you have finished having babies as it can hinder breast feeding, it can reduce your supply.
If you want any more info ask away.

So they dont necessarily have to move your nipples? I thought there was no way you could bf cos they remove the nipple, and reattach it higher up?

I've just done a bit of reading on a few websites. It said it can hinder. Sometimes they completely remove the nipple and put it up higher sometimes they leave it attached to some stuff and move it up. I guess it would depend which it was to if you could give BF a go.
I'm deinitely not doing this until we have finished our family but because of my fear of being cut (which is more just cutting of the skin, don't care less about what goes on after that) I'll need to give my head lots and lots of time to work up to it hehe

They dont necessarily have to move your nipple, but i think it would look slightly strange if they didnt. As kebakat says they dont have to remove the nipple to move it, just make an incision and detach some of the nipple and slide it up. My surgeon told me i might have probs BF but i did it for 8 weeks with formula topups.

Lol no I knew it would have to be moved,...but I thought that meant it would need to be removed.

My friend who had the reduction had a terrible time Breast feeding and part reason (but not whole) that she got post natal depression. I don't want to put a damper on the reduction thing but I think if you can wait till after having baby if you have your heart set on Bfing then do so.

My SIL had one done a few years ago, I'm pretty sure through medical insurance. She has so much more confidence now and loves her new smaller boobies. I haven't seen any noticable scarring and from what she says it's not too bad.
It did hurt her a bit, she found it a bit hard, but I'd say this would be the same as any other surgery. Her nipples are fine and they gave her good hope for breastfeeding in the future (she's young, doesn't have any kids).

I want to get one too. I will be talking with my doctor the next time I see her but I doubt she'll be able to make any sort of call until I finish BFing so she can see what size they go back to (mind you they were a 10E to start with). I would also like to finish having kids first but I figure I should get on the waiting list soon as in 3 years time I hopefully will have had my second.
Stacey definitely ask Emz - I think she's going in soon.

WoW i didnt realise how big bra sizes went.. (this is coming from someone who was excited to be pregnant to JUST make it to a C cup. My heart does go out to all you gal's who do have big boobs that causes problems, I have a mate in that boat too, wanting a boob job but has to meet the criteria for the waiting list.
Also, we do seem to be self concious about stretch marks- funny, but annoying at the same time. Wear them with pride...lol.
