The young mother of two boys has been big busted since a teenager. As she grew older, her breasts became even bigger.
Recently her bra size was 44F at only 29-years of age.
This caused frustration when trying to buy clothes and she also developed health issues.
“I had constant headaches, back and shoulder pain and sometimes breathing problems.
“My life changed after I learnt about the possibility of a breast reduction procedure. I started to do research on the operation. I have been fortunate to have a medical aid which paid for the operation as it is costly.

“Ever since the surgery all the things I was suffering from have not re-occurred and I’m really happy,” she said.
Mathebula, who is from Ndengeza village in Giyani but lives in Pretoria with her family, says she would encourage other women who are facing the same challenges to consider doing the procedure.
Mathebula says the surgical procedure can be done in both private and public health institutions, but it is quicker at a private facility.
Public hospital patients can wait for many years as there is a long list of women hoping to do the surgery.

“There is help out there, the only thing missing is information, so do your own research.
“If you want to go the traditional route, ask the elders if there is a safe way of reducing breasts,” she advised.
“I’m excited to live my life without having to worry about what to wear and pain which hampered me having an active lifestyle.
“I used to avoid going to events because of the lack of proper attire and getting tired quickly,” she explained.

The operation costs about R65 000, but her medical aid took care of it and she only contributed around R5000 for physiotherapy and medication.
Mathebula says she is willing to assist anyone who might need information.
