I had a breast reduction done some years ago, have not regretted it a single day. I live in Finland so how the system works may differ, but the procedures are the same.
I first saw a doctor who then sent me to another doctor who examined my eligibility. They measured jugulum nipple distance, weight, height, looked at medical history (back / shoulder pains etc.) I passed. Then I was on waiting list and had to have mammography done prior to surgery. Also had to limit omega fatties prior to surgery and inject Klexane.
In the hospital the morning of surgery, more Klexane. The surgeon drew lines and shapes and then I went to sleep
She surgery itself was done by cutting vertically from areolas down and "crinching". Areolas were also cut and moved higher. I think I had 400-600g removed from each breast. So I also got a lift, which is part of that specific way to cut.
At first my breasts reminded me of something from horror movies, but the pains were very minimal and they healed fast. To this day, you can't really tell my areolas were removed unless you look super closely. The vertical scarring below is bit more visible, but nothing major. I had a fixing surgery done after wards which was 10min nip and tuck in local anesthesia.
Photobucket has since removed many of those pictures (violating the rules, which is bs), but I still have some left if someone is curious to see.
