Hi I Had a Breast Reduction when I Was 17 but Now at the Age of 33 They Are Now Larger. Can I Get a Revision? (photo)

Is it possible to have the procedure done again even tho my 1st doctor didnt do a good job. They were not even and the scarring is bad at the age of 17 I really didnt pay attention to all that i was jus happy to have small breast.

A: Revision after breast reduction in teens

The breast continues to grow and develop until about age 22, and even then the breast will change significantly after pregnancy. A second breast reduction can be done, though the risk to the nipple is greater. Choose a surgeon with experience.

Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

I Had Breast Reduction 10 Days Ago. What is Wrong with the Bottom of my Breasts? Is This Double Bubble? No Implants! (photo)

I Had Breast Reduction 10 Days Ago. What is Wrong with the Bottom of my Breasts? Is This Double Bubble? but I Had No Implants!

A: Double bubble after breast reduction

The tension in the closure after breast reduction can indeed give the appearance of a double bubble pushing the breast tissue either above or below the natural breast fold or envelope. As things heal and relax the breast will shape again and the double bubble efffect will resolve, unlike the ones associated with a breast implant.

32H Extremely Dense (>75%), Risks of Reducing from H to B? (photo)

I am a lean, athletic, large breasted 5'8" woman with size 32H breasts. The density is level IV, per BI RADS. I would like to reduce them to a B. Aside from the obvious symptomatic problems I imagine a B since I just don't favor larger breasts. I envision a loose button-up shirt, baggy jeans, hanging out in my art cottage, in a mostly private setting. I am a bit of an introvert. Plus, I am a lesbian and more tomboyish. Does this pose special risk's due to density, like to nipples?

A: Imagine the B-cup after reduction

Your breast is full and dense and the nipple is pointing to the floor. To under stand what a B-cup in a 32 is like you should go look at one, and try to imagine how you could possibly fit into it. Even with a full 'T' reduction the geometry of your breast will allow a D-cup after reduction, but the loose button up shirt (even without a bra) should be a go.
