A woman has coughed up her inheritance money to perform breast reduction surgery on her 34HH breasts.

According to Toni Lewis, her heavy 34HH size breasts caused her back pain and rashes so bad they would bleed.

Toni, aged 27 said she battled depression due to the fact that her chest made it impossible for her to find work as a dancer, as costumes couldnt fit her.

Toni, from Newport, South Wales, says she went to the NHS to see if she could use her health insurance to perform breasts reduction surgery but her request wasn’t granted 

Toni said: ‘I suffered from terrible back pain and rashes that would bleed.

‘Even though I stopped growing as a teen, my boobs kept growing and getting heavier. Without a bra they were down to my belly button. It was demoralizing and made me depressed.

‘I couldn’t go bra shopping without crying. The lady in Marks & Spencers would tell me my bra size and I would burst into tears.

‘Bikini shopping was impossible. Wearing a button-up shirt was impossible as the buttons would pop open, or the shirt would gape open. It was not nice.

‘I was so self-conscious about my breasts. As a teenager, men would stare at my chest in public and some would make comments about them. It was so upsetting.

‘I grew up dancing from the age of three and trained in dancing at college. It was everything to me and I wanted to pursue it professionally. But I couldn’t get jobs as the dance costumes weren’t made to fit my chest size.

‘Over the last few years, exercise has become more and more difficult as I started having to wear multiple sports bras for a mild workout.’

Toni went to her doctor to ask for a breast reduction when she was 19, but even though she was wearing size 8 clothing, she was told she needed to lose weight to have the surgery.

Even after she went on to lose 10lbs, doctors told her for the second timr they couldn’t still perform the surgery due to her weight when she was 21 years old.

‘I was told that I was overweight and that I needed to lose two stone for the clinic to take me seriously,’ she said.

‘At that point, I honestly didn’t know where I could lose the weight from. It could have sent me down a bad road of eating disorders. It wasn’t nice at all.

‘My boobs weighed at least 10lbs and whenever I lost weight, nothing would come off my chest. It felt horrible and hopeless, and it sent me into a real depression.

‘I really needed the procedure, but there was no way that I could afford the procedure at the time.’

When Toni lost both her grandparents, her mother suggested she use her inheritance money to pay for private surgery and, in December 2021, she got the breast reduction she’d wanted for so many years.

Now she says she feels alive and is no longer depressed. She says she now uses her TikTok videos to encourage women suffering from big sized breasts.

She said: ‘I sadly lost both my grandparents when my nan died of Covid in December 2020. I received an inheritance from them six months after.

‘As soon as I knew the money was coming, my mum said I should use it to pay for the breast reduction op privately. I found a surgeon in October last year and got the procedure in December.

‘Not once in the private process was I told that I need to lose weight.

‘I’m only eight weeks post-op, but I feel like things are looking up after this procedure. I honestly feel like a different person, and I’m over the moon.

‘I want to get back to dancing professionally and become the happier, healthier version of me.

‘I used to hide and slouch because my boobs were so heavy and big. But I’m so much more confident now.

‘Some people love their big boobs and that’s great but it caused me so much physical and emotional pain.
