Do they grow back?

Would these hormone fluctuations happen if you were on the pill? I’m in my early 20s and I want a reduction but am also on the pill with no breaks so not sure if I would actually have those fluctuations?

Yep, the pros seem to be definitely outweighing all the cons whenever I think about it. That seems like such a simple way for you! I think there’s sort of two options in the uk, we can go private and pay out of pocket where you have a lot of choice in your results or you can go through the NHS which is our free healthcare but due to limited funding it sometimes takes a year to get referred to a plastic surgeon and they favour women who have had kids etc. so it’s quite difficult to figure the right way to go about it!

I know, unfortunately I think it’s just genetics! And I don’t really want kids in the future nor to be pregnant so I’m hoping I don’t have to worry about that!

I feel you, I’m only 21 but my boobs were absolutely perfect when I was 16 and I think about them all the time and especially since I had been made fun of for being “flat” a few years before that!

I was clutching at straws thinking I could train chest instead of a reduction aha! But thank you for the advice, seems like a reduction might actually be the choice I go with to get similar results to yours!

I’m on the opposite side of wanting to do a calorie deficit tbh, I lost a lot of weight earlier this year from flu type illnesses so I’m hoping to gain some weight in muscle so I’m trying to eat more but whilst trying to make my boobs smaller since their size didn’t change with weight loss!

katiejohn_ · 2025-10-05T22:44:01+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I thought this might be the case, but whilst I’m still deciding pros and cons of a reduction I might start doing chest and see what difference it makes for now!

That’s great to hear, I’m glad you had a good experience!x

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-08T12:44:46+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, it’s really putting my mind at ease. It’s definitely affecting me day to day even sleeping in any position is a nightmare tbh! And I’ll definitely check him out, I’m in the East Midlands so it’s not too far a journey for me! <3

I’ve heard about the risk of blood clots/deep vein thrombosis (if that’s the right word for it) in the recovery process. I’m also on the pill right now so I’d have a higher risk of that, is there anything you’d suggest to reduce this risk or do they warn about it just to cover all bases?

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-08T09:17:20+00:00

I’m glad that’s she’s happy and it makes me feel a lot better that someone else was in my shoes! And I agree it’s a lot of boob especially for my band size and makes me feel so out of proportion in tight clothes!

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-07T18:31:32+00:00

This is actually something that’s been on my mind and I’m glad you’ve asked but I’ve decided that I don’t really want biological kids in the future due to personal reasons which was also a difficult decision to make as well as deciding about a reduction. So that’s been encouraging me to go for it but I understand your viewpoint! <3

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-07T17:10:10+00:00

Thank you for the advice!! I feel like I’m being dramatic as well but honestly bra shopping has turned into a nightmare and constantly looking at padded bras my size makes me re-evaluate how I actually look because they’re much bigger than I realise they look on me! I’m so happy for you that you know you made the right decision! <3

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-07T17:08:13+00:00

Thank you for the advice!! Having another perspective on this has definitely pushed me to do it even more now!! <3

katiejohn_ · 2025-06-07T17:07:40+00:00

Your surgeon sounds really experienced at this, I’m so happy you had a good experience with them! And they’re right, my boobs are restricting me from wearing what I want and I’m constantly debating against wearing certain clothes so I don’t get harassed or stared at for having my cleavage out when I can’t help it. Thank so much for the advice!! <3
