I was chatting to the g/f about the amount of plastic surgery my ex had including breast enlargement. The g/f was telling me that she wants breast reduction. She says that she has a problem getting clothes that fit well. Seems ironic that three quarters or more of women want to increase the size here is one well endowed and she wants to reduce them.

I was reading the Yanhee and Bumrungrad sites and this operation isn't without its problems. There is nothing worse than ladyboys with offset breasts or nipples ( from photos I have seen honest ) so why ruin something that aint broke.

I just wonder what the views of interested parties is.

as someone with larger than average boobage I can sympathise. If I had the money I would do it tomorrow but it isn't something that ruins my life & apart from the back/shoulder pain issues I occasionally get I cant cope with them for a while yet. I'd Ideally like to go to a decent c cup. I lost quite a lot of weight over the past 4 years & the only hing that hasn't gone down are the Matterhorns (as a cheeky canuck pal likes to call them)so I know for a fact that weight loss &/or exercise aren't going to help in any way.

One of my main issues though with having it done is that they remove the nipples then reposition them onto the redesigned smaller boob, it means she will never be able to breastfeed & the scar can be quite large

Good luck to her whatever she chooses

I read that a woman can't breast find but I don't think she is about to have any more children and nipple sensitivity is affected. The list of potential problems seemed enough to put me off but then I don't have to live with them.

I sympathise with her too. Having big boobs can be bad enough in a Western country where more women are bigger alongside you, but in an Asian country it can really start getting to you - I remember spending my second year in Japan researching breast reduction quite a lot of the time.

I'm 35 now and probably couldn't be bothered, but if I was a bit younger and especially if I was going to spend some years in Asia, I'd go for it if I had the money, even with the negative consequences. It gets really tiresome and unpleasant, and can be downright depressing, for people always to be looking at your boobs, especially on top of all the usual 'easy Western women' stereotypes there are. It probably sounds quite minor for anyone who hasn't experienced it, but it really isn't.

My boyfriend at the time when I was in Japan and getting quite down about the whole thing was quite dismissive about the whole idea of breast reduction - he was generally a great guy but he just didn't get the impact constantly being stared at for having big boobs can have on a woman. Almost all guys I've spoken to about this (mates, not random guys in the pub!) have been along the lines of 'Big boobs, why change them, woo-hoo!' Way to miss the point, my friends!

Since you've asked for views, I'd echo Boo and say good luck to your gf whatever she chooses, and also say that if she is getting really down about this and seems determined to do it rather than just wish she could, it would be fab if you could suport her all the way. Not saying you wouldn't anyway, just be fab if you could

My ex boyfriend's mom had a breast reduction because hers were causing her back and neck pain, she wasn't actually fat, just really large i guess (I met her after). My sister gained weight and also gained it there and said she feels the same as Boo, like they are just too large.

I dont' know, I can't help much, I like my size and wouldn't change it at all but, and here is the big one, I would consider work on other areas if I had the free cash. Not sure I would do it, but I would consider it. No woman is ever totally happy with her appearance, sadly enough.

I have mosquito bite boobies, I have thought about getting them made bigger. Not for the sexy look, but just for my piece of mind. About 10 years ago i inherited some money - I thought Woo Woo I can get my tits done.

I read alot about it, asked friends and family etc. Who laughed and laughed and laughed. Snorting with laughter!! My Dad (who is since deceased) almost choked on his drink. A friend said "what will happen when you walk in the Pub with tits?. Never got them done. But i can understand if a woman's breasts are so big (jealous sigh!!) that they cause discomfort then yes she should have a reduction.

I just wanted to have a bit of a cleavage!! To be able to wear low cut shirts etc. Nothing extreme. Now, i am approaching 50 years old and don't care anymore. Still got a pretty face!!

And a sense of humour.
