I had a breast reduction at age 16. Since I was younger, and still "growing", my scars were stretched. And I also put on weight down the road, which can affect your scars and shape as well. Have thought this out for several years? The surgery will likely prevent you from breastfeeding, especially if they have to re-position the nipple. As well as decrease or possibly remove a lot of the surface skin/nerve feeling along where the incisions are made. Which makes sexual relationships uncomfortable/odd. I am not sure if they have improved the surgery since I had mine. But the scars would prevent me from wearing a skimpier type of bathing suit. And as far as recovery time. I was on bed rest for a few days, to stay on my back/minimal arm use. It may have changed by now though.

Overall, it has both the pros and cons. I still would have had mine done, though may have waited a few more years. It's a personal decision, based on what you think will be best in the long run for you.
