<\/p>\nA woman who claims men used to yell and stare at her in the street due to her large 34E chest has revealed she did something drastic to combat it.<\/p>\n
Since Chloe Ledger's relationship ended two years ago, she's been 'put off the dating scene' due to the unwanted attention received for her 34E breasts.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old from Queensland, Australia, became \u201chyper-aware\u201d of her chest and claims men would yell at her on the street on a near-weekly basis, which 'freaked her out'. Now, after a lifelong struggle, she's had surgery to reduce them down to a 34C.<\/p>\n

Talking about her experience, she told NeedToKnow.co.uk: \u201cI felt like they were no longer my boobs anymore after I decided to get rid of them. I didn\u2019t care who looked at them because I felt like they weren\u2019t even mine anymore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very self-conscious of my breasts pre-reduction, which stopped me from wanting to pursue any relationships \u2013 especially in the last two years. When my last relationship ended, I became hyper-aware of them and as a woman, in general, we got constant unwanted attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember wearing a low-cut top in the city once and a bunch of firemen in a truck put the siren on and yelled at me. It totally freaked me out."<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWhen I used to catch the train to university, if I was wearing a low-cut top, older men would always sit opposite men and stare at me. However, once I booked in my surgery, I started posting lots of bikini photos online as I wanted to document them as much as I could while they were still there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chloe, who recalls being too embarrassed to get measured properly, often used to turn to smaller size bras but kept \u201cspilling out\u201d of them. She also became self-conscious about her body when she was unable to find any clothes that would fit her properly, and instead, had to go for options that were three times bigger that made her look like a \u201ctent\u201d.<\/p>\n
She also started to experience upper neck pain, would suffer from her bra straps digging in, and would get constant rashes from under-boob sweat. Because of this, Chloe said she limited her social contact with others.<\/p>\n
Chloe underwent her reduction procedure on August 3 of this year, spending $16,000 (AUD) (\u00a38,000) on the surgery. She says she now feels like a 'new person'.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThe wait list was very long, but I was more than happy to do so, to ensure I had a fantastic end result. I was so excited and immediately, started looking at future bikini options. It was an enjoyable time, as I finally had an end date and could just embrace them for what they were until I got them reduced.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as I came out of surgery, I felt so much lighter \u2013 my shoulder and neck pain had gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
In total, she had 1.3kgs of weight removed and while her recovery journey was lengthy, she says it was all worth it in the end.<\/p>\n
Although people online have called her \u201ccrazy\u201d for the decision, she doesn\u2019t care and hopes to inspire others to get the \u201clife-changing\u201d surgery. \u201cI can now wear anything I want, buy clothes in my actual size and my confidence is so much better," she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had almost no pain the whole time I was healing, but I struggled to lift anything heavy or my arms higher than my head for about a month. I am now three months post-op, so there\u2019s still a long way to go, but the change in my life already has been great.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have talked about my reduction for many years and honestly, the [negativity] doesn\u2019t affect me, as I'm the only person who knows what they were like before and after. I know how much of a negative impact having large breasts had on my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust make sure to do your research and don\u2019t expect perfection. It\u2019s truly been life-changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
