This young lady had a wonderful mother! She changed her daughters life by getting her to a quality surgeon!! God bless her.

The fact that she started taking care of herself better and wore nicer clothes just from that single operation is so amazing and I wish this happiness upon exerting who gets plastic surgery

I personally would not be offended by the turtle comment only because his explanation was spot on. The being hunched over and wearing jackets was exactly what she was doing. There was no confidence at all!

I was a med/surg nurse, and I have to say....over the years, the very happiest of my patients, following surgery, the breast reduction patients were top of the list.

I'm having my breast reduction in march. I'm so nervous but at the same time I can't wait... I can't wait to feel more confident and be in less pain and be able to wear normal bras

It’s totally awful when the size is sooooo different. I got mine reduced at 42. I have never regretted one moment. I’m 72 and they are still perfect.

I finally got my reduction yesterday! It feels so great to know that after recovery I'm going to feel a lot better. 😊

Ah I'm so happy for her! That joy is exactly how I felt after my top surgery.

I had a breast reduction done nearly twenty years ago. Best decision of my life. I felt this woman so much.

I started having to wear bras when I was 10. By the time I was 16 I wore a 32 ddd. (I’m quite small height and weight wise) got pregnant with my first and BLEW up to a 36 G. Now that I’ve lost my baby weight, and breastfeeding has finished. I have very saggy boobs with lots of loose skin at 22. My self esteem takes a hit and it stops me from dressing up and going out 😭(because I can’t find anything that supports them properly) hopefully one day I’ll be well off enough to get a lift 😩

I'm almost 46, and have lived with oversized "girls" since I was 10. Finding bras is impossible. Also, the constant back pain, headaches, shoulder pain make life difficult. I wish I could afford a reduction surgery, but don't see that happening anytime soon. I guess when I die, they'll need one coffin for me, and a second for the "girls" lol! 🤣

As a survivor of gigantomastia and breast reduction, I resonated strongly to the turtle comparison. My bra cups fit over my head! My left breast was much larger and droopier. I was told that two pounds were removed from each breast. My nipples were healthy although the right had little sensation after surgery. Unfortunately, the scar under the left stretched, allowing the breast to enlarge and droop, making them asymmetrical again. My right is an A cup and the left is a C.

One of the best things I've ever done was deciding to get breast reduction surgery. Happily it was covered by insurance. When I returned to work one of my coworkers said I walked with more confidence.

I get the turtle thing. His explanation afterwords made it clear he meant it as a metaphor

I had a classmate in high school who had this. Apparently the plastic surgeon was stunned by having her as a client for a reduction until she walked in and he saw her. She had back pain so they had to reduce and she was much happier after.

She looks great, and you can see her demeanor is SO much better! I'm so happy for her!

If I needed a reduction I'd probably try to get through it but I'd never have implants! It's so nice they could help this girl.

That was not an insult, it was a description of how she has been living. Poor girl

How the hell did that seriously make her look like a new person!?! You wouldn’t think a breast surgery could change someone’s appearance so much! I think her style and everything must’ve changed after surgery due to confidence because she looked totally different in the dr’s office

I would absolutely take being called a turtle as a compliment! They’re so cute 😭
