      I’m sorry for your gain, as a C myself I can’t empathize but I can sympathize. Even swelling a few cup sizes during lactation was uncomfortable. What situation took you to P, if you’re willing to share?

      (And it’s a crime about the insurance, that’s definitely a health issue.)

      Not trying to be a smartarse here but what on Earth is a P-cup!? The largest I’ve ever heard of is an I-cup; in my imagination a P-cup engulfs the planet. How do you live???

      It’s crazy they won’t cover that. My girlfriend flew herself and a friend to Turkey a few years ago and paid for hotel stays and it still ended up being cheaper to have her reduction done there than it would have been for her to do it state-side

        My aunt did that with laser eye surgery. It was cheaper for her to get a passport and go to Canada for a week for it than it was to get it in the States.

        breathing reduction issue

        Lol. Often when I’m snuggling my partner I don’t just rest my arm on her chest, I pull downward so the boobage is off the neck and she always thanks me 😅

              The Mayo Clinic doesn’t mention ruptures necessarily being fatal, and seem to imply that it’s quite survivable until being able to be seen by a doctor.

              So if one is desperate, while it may not be the optimal choice, survival seems probable, though not necessarily guaranteed.

      (And by god is it hard to get health insurance to cover breast reduction surgery)

      But you should be able to get a tax write off if you count it as a loss. :)
