Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic. Today I’m chatting with musical theatre graduate Mackenzie Norton to talk all about boobs, and in particular her breast reduction surgery that she had at the end of 2019. Which, randomly, all started at the clinic next door to the airbnb that I'm currently staying in in Christchurch!
In this episode Mackenzie explains the years of pain and discomfort from dancing and - well - just living a life with big boobs, how costume fittings were filled with tears and anxiety, the process of getting the surgery, and the surprisingly difficult recovery period.
When Mackenzie and I were meeting to talk through this episode one really important thing shone through. Mackenzie knows her privilege. She understands that this was her own decision, not determined by a sinister diagnosis, and she is incredibly grateful for the support from her family.
...And I’m incredibly grateful that she decided to share her story with That’s So Chronic today!

If a breast reduction surgery is something you are considering, I encourage you to chat to a medical professional before making any decisions.
