Breast Reduction Update – 5 Years On

Body Proportions, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 3, 201915 Comments

It’s been a few years since I shared about my breast reduction surgery (in fact many who are newer to the blog won’t realise that I ever had this surgery back in 2014), and I was asked by a long-time reader who is thinking about going through the process to share an update! For me,…

How Breast Reduction Changed My Life For the Better

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportSeptember 8, 201614 Comments

I’m sitting here, at the Problogger Conference on the Gold Coast, Queensland, by the pool, sipping a cocktail (I know, you think that this is my everyday “bloggerati” life, sadly not so) and thinking about just how much having had my breast reduction 2 1/2 years ago has changed my life. Why think about it…

Breast Reduction Update – 1 Year on

Body Image, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportApril 17, 201536 Comments

One year ago today I had what I all my “anti-boob job”, a breast reduction. Now a year on I thought I’d share my experiences. As most of you regular readers are aware, my weight has fluctuated. In 2008 I was about 10kg larger than I am now, by April 2009 I was a pretty…

Breast Reduction Update – 4 Weeks Post Surgery

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportMay 15, 201445 Comments

Warning: this post contains boobs and may not be work appropriate or if you have beliefs about modesty you may want to skip this post. Today marks my 4 weeks post breast reduction surgery.

Breast Reduction Survery – 3 Month Update

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportJuly 17, 201412 Comments

It’s now been 3 months since I had my breast reduction surgery and I wanted to give you a quick update on how I’m recovering. My breasts now feel pretty normal, for quite some time I could tell that there was healing going on inside, it’s only now when they get squashed that I feel…

Breast Reduction Update – Almost 1 Week Post Operation

Body Variations, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportApril 23, 201444 Comments

    Tomorrow I reach my 1 week milestone and next Monday I’m off to the hospital to see my plastic surgeon (Yvonne Chow – she did a brilliant job as far as I can tell so far and one of the nurses said that they were the best breasts she’d seen!) to have some…

Breast Reduction Update – 6 Weeks Post Surgery

About Imogen, Body Image, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportMay 29, 201430 Comments

Hard to believe but I’m now 6 weeks post my reduction, and I’ve forgotten what it felt like to have larger breasts (my shoulders and back do still feel like there is less strain on them than there used to be). I’m now allowed to go back to higher impact exercise (though I haven’t run…

Breast Reduction Surgery Recovery Guide

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportApril 29, 201443 Comments

So I’m 12 days post operative and yesterday afternoon I saw my plastic surgeon for my first post operative appointment. I’m now back in a wire-free bra. At the moment because of swelling, I’m wearing a 14D (36D bra), I don’t want anything too tight around my rib cage, there are two long lines of…

Body Image – Breasts

Body Image, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportApril 19, 201257 Comments

I was just reading an article on Mamamia  by Anna Spargo-Ryan about whether or not having a breast reduction is superficial in the way that having breast enlargement is seen as superficial and it got me thinking about my own breasts and how I feel about them. I’ve got a rather large bust (34G) and am…

How to Get More Accurate Mammography Results

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportMay 25, 20151 Comment

Sponsored by Genius 3D Mammography As many of you are aware last year I had breast reduction surgery.  As part of my pre-operative check-ups, I had to have a mammogram. When they did my mammogram they found a small lump that needed further testing before they would do the surgery (fortunately nothing serious, but still…

How the placement of your breasts impacts on what you wear

How the Placement of Your Breasts Impacts What You Wear

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportOctober 3, 20196 Comments

Could you do an article on how breast placement on our chests impacts our clothing. Some people have breast near their armpits, others near their elbow. They could be small, medium or large. Sharon According to my plastic surgeon (who did my breast reduction operation) the bust peak/nipple is supposed to sit at the mid-point…

Boobs as Big as Your Head

About Imogen, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportApril 13, 201442 Comments

There’s been a lot going on in my life this past week. Not only have I had the funeral of my wonderful sister-in-law who died recently of Ovarian Cancer (which kills one woman every 10 hours and researchers desperately need more funds, you can donate buy purchasing a dress from Verilyusing my affiliate links).

Is Your Wardrobe Ageing You?

Body Image, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportAugust 20, 200919 Comments

This morning I did a wardrobe audit for a lovely 53 year old client. She’d already thrown out a pile of stuff before I got there, but we managed to get rid of another 5 garbage bags of clothes that were no longer working for her.    Like most ‘middle ageless ‘ (thanks Rosina) women,…

So Long and Thanks for the Mammaries

About Imogen, Body Image, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportApril 19, 201427 Comments

I’m writing this sitting in my hospital bed, the night after my breast reduction surgery. I’m still mentally coming to terms with what I’ve done, after a lifetime of overly large breasts and in many ways my breasts have defined part of who I am (just as I was a brunette and am now a…

A Decade of Imogen’s Style on Inside Out Style

Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportOctober 25, 201843 Comments

Today I reached my first half-century- not playing cricket (eeeghads no!), but in years, and I was thinking about how to celebrate this momentous occasion with you in a way that would be even marginally interesting to you. So I thought I’d create a photographic look back at the past 10 years of my style…

She Science – My Sports Bra Buying Experience

Body Variations, Reviews, ShoppingBy Imogen LamportJuly 7, 2014Leave a comment

For a long time (well most of my life) I never ran. Well I couldn’t run without pain or holding my breasts and that’s exhausting, not being able to move your arms in the regular running pattern makes you tired way more quickly. After 30 years of searching, I finally found a sports bra that…

Tips on shopping for shoes

What Do you Buy in Multiples and Why?

ShoppingBy Imogen LamportMarch 1, 201713 Comments

Before I had my breast reduction surgery, shopping was a bit of a nightmare. When it’s hard to find any clothes that actually fit (if it fit my bust it was way too large on my shoulders). For me shoes, costume jewellery and handbags have been my “go to” items when shopping for many years.…

My Weight Loss Journey with the 5:2 Diet

Body Image, Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportJune 30, 201430 Comments

As many of you are aware, I’ve lost a significant amount of weight in the past 7 months. 15kg (33 pounds) to be exact, not including the just under 1kg loss of my recent breast reduction surgery. As someone who has not been easily slim since I discovered chocolate when I was 15, I’ve always…

Why the size on your clothing label says nothing about your value as a human and your worth in the world or even how stylish you are.

Why The Number on the Label May Be Lying to You

Fabric, Fit and Alterations, VideosBy Imogen LamportJuly 9, 20164 Comments

Why should you care about the size of your clothes? Yet I see again and again women judge themselves, their value, their worth on the number that sits on a label inside their clothes. That’s it, it’s just a number. A number that has no value. You are worth so much more than any number…
