Cape Town – Radio and TV presenter Jamie-Lee Domburg has shared on social media that she has finally undergone breast reduction surgery.
Discussing her decision, Domburg, 31, shared that the weight on her chest had become a burden, affecting both her physical and emotional well-being.
“For as long as I could remember, dancing had been my passion. But as the years went by and my body changed, the weight on my chest became a burden, both physically and emotionally. I began to dread the pain that came with moving, the way my back ached and this became my daily reality after competing in the hip hop world championships in Germany when I was only 16 years old,” Domburg wrote on Instagram.
She said that even after embarking on the fitness journey for weight-loss and muscle toning, she still couldn’t get rid of the burden on her chest.
Domburg added: “Medical aid doesn’t cover the surgery. I saved for years,with the hope that one day, I could be free. In the meantime, I channeled my frustration into transforming my body. I lost weight, toned my muscles, and became the fittest version of myself. But still, the burden on my chest remained, a constant reminder of the freedom I was yet to achieve.”

Post-surgery
In another Instagram post, Domburg expresses her gratitude for her medical team, friends and family, for their unwavering support throughout her healing process.
She posted: “It’s been almost one week since my surgery, and I am eternally grateful to my doctor and his team, the entire staff at Christiaan Barnard Hospital, and my family and friends for all of their support.
“Recovery has been slow, and I’m taking it one day at a time.
“Mentally, I’m on the mountain, running and working out, but physically, I’m moving around like a grandma and trying not to cough or laugh.
“My mom has been the most supportive person on this journey 🥺I wouldn’t be able to do this without her, my partner and my village, who have been taking care of Luca and all of his needs while I’m on bed rest.
“Thank you for all the prayers and check-ins. I want to apologize in advance for how much more confident I’m going to be 🤣 but it’s almost time to say goodbye to this chapter. #BoobVoyage”
