Since age 16, Janel Nelson’s big breasts had been causing her a myriad of health problems. Her shoulders and neck often get incredibly sore from the pressure of her bra straps, and her entire posture revolved around slouching to get some relief. In the summer months, Janel suffers rashes, and her most severe is debilitating migraines.
Over the past four years, the disability worker visited several surgeons but then was turned down over claims that she was too young and needed her hormones to level out.

Janel claimed her confidence had improved exponentially, and she now feels like her energetic, athletic true self. While the reduction has since left her with intense short-term pain, she said she wouldn’t change a thing as she’s now encouraging another woman in similar situations to seek surgery. “No amount of scarring or pain would ever hold me back from doing the surgery again just to feel and experience the relief I have now.”

However, Janel, who had before the surgery felt as though her body was denying her confidence and restricting what she could and could not in her life, is now happily married and shared it was her husband, Chandler Nelson, that ultimately told her not to give up on pushing for the surgery.
