Men were constantly lurking at my 40G breasts that left me unable to stand – now I’ve had them reduced

A mother of four who was in pain “every day” because of her 40G breasts said her life has changed for the better after having them reduced.

Rebecca Chadwick, 46, claims men stared at her in the street because of her cleavage, which prevented her from standing for more than an hour.

As the mom from Arkansas, USA, struggled to control her massive breasts, the mother was plagued by debilitating back pain and migraines.

“My breasts were pulling at my shoulders and neck, giving me headaches almost daily,” she said.

But since going under the knife for breast reduction surgery, the mother-of-four has dropped seven cup sizes and feels better than ever.

Rebecca, who has four children with her partner Eddie, Brianna, 25, Victoria, 24, Katheryn, 13, and Willow, five, said she was in constant pain before the surgery.

“I couldn’t stand for more than an hour without my back hurting from so much weight on my chest,” she explained.

“My bra straps made permanent indentations on both shoulders.

“People sometimes stared and men lurked. This made me feel self-conscious.

“Some people jokingly commented on my chest size.”

Struggling with the daily pain and obnoxious staring, Rebecca contemplated a breast reduction for 22 years before finally going under the knife — she claimed her breasts even prevented her from taking care of her children.

Since getting her breasts reduced, Rebecca (now pictured) has praised her partner and four children for taking good care of her

‘I have two children living at home; one of them is only five and it was hard to keep track of what she wanted to do,” she explained.

‘I’ve tried to cover my breasts, I would also try anything to minimize them.

“It was almost impossible to find clothes that fit well.”

In April this year, after seeing several doctors and surgeons before making her own choice, Rebecca booked the $3,660 (£2,859) surgery.

The mother claims that the insurance company’s policy would not pay for the surgery unless a certain amount of tissue was removed from the breast.

She said, “They have to take out twice as much as any other insurance company.

‘I think it’s ridiculous, because no woman wants nothing at all.

“But I was just getting ready to get rid of the pain, so the plastic surgeon offered to do a breast lift instead of a breast reduction because it’s technically the same surgery — he just took out extra tissue.”

A breast reduction is considered a medical procedure and a breast lift is a cosmetic procedure – [the latter] is considerably cheaper.’

The mother’s surgery lasted only two hours; she arrived at the hospital at 5 a.m. and was sent home at 12:30 a.m., with Eddie collecting her.

Rebecca said, “I was so happy to see Eddie after I woke up from surgery, any surgery is scary.

“It was really shocking when I first looked in the mirror, all stitches are scary at first glance.

“I’m not completely healed yet and there’s still a lot of swelling so I don’t know my exact size. But when everything is done healing, I’m a 40C.

“I feel lighter already and there’s so much pressure on my back.”

As she recovers, Rebecca praised Eddie and the kids for taking such good care of her – while friends and other family members supported her as well.

It will take months for Rebecca to fully heal, but she is looking forward to the future and has booked a cruise to celebrate her new body.

She added, “I’m on a cruise soon so I’m so looking forward to being able to walk around the ship and beaches for over 30 minutes without having to sit down because my back hurts.”

“I also look forward to picking out a swimsuit based on what I think is cute rather than a swimsuit that holds up and supports my big bust!”

“I can’t wait to wear strapless dresses either.”
