A friend of mine from high school had reduction surgery a few years ago and loves the results. She is the same age as I am (42) & has 3 children. With her third pregnancy, her breasts were so large, she could barely walk. She had the surgery when her youngest was 2 & she looks awesome. This is the best she has looked and felt in years. She did lose some nipple sensitivity, but she said it was worth it to be able to walk normally. She has had a blast buying all kinds of fancy bras. The recovery time was a bit longer than she expected, but the result was worth it. Her insurance company paid for it, as the doctor felt that she would have serious back & leg problems if something wasn't done. Good luck with whatever you decide.
