Women Share their Breast Procedures with TODAY Show

The TODAY Show’s Life Changers series recently featured two women who shared how they achieved their ideal breast size through breast surgery: one with breast augmentation and the other with breast reduction surgery.

Erica says before her breast augmentation she described herself as being in the “negative category” for breast size, while Jeanne was a triple D and only 4’9”.

“It’s a constant struggle for me in my small frame to be active,” says Jeanne of her breast size before her reduction. In addition, she had neck, back and shoulder pain and rashes under her breasts.

Both women wanted to be a C cup, and they achieved it through cosmetic surgery.

The ladies appeared on the TODAY Show about two weeks after their surgeries.

Jeanne says that after surgery she saw her stomach for the first time in the shower.

Erica, who chose silicone implants, says breast augmentation is something she’s always wanted to do and that she’s more than happy with the results.

The women’s surgeon, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, says that there is more scarring with breast reduction than augmentation, although the scarring for reductions is less than it used to be and that surgeons have gotten better at shaping the breasts in reductions.
