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: Lower Pole flatness

After a breast reduction or lift (mastopexy) it is very common for the lower portion of the breast to look flat or unnatural.  This occurs because the sutures and most of the actual surgery is done on the lower portion of the breast.  Initially after surgery these areas are stiffer and less flexible.  As the healing progresses and the collagen is remodeled these areas will soften, become rounder and more breast shaped.

Significantly Larger Breast - Breast Reduction or Implant?

I have a significantly larger breast. Yes just one. I am a 34 D and 5"2 weight of 138. Im hoping once i stop breast feeding the larger breast will shrink. But i dont want them both to shrink. But should i get the larger one reduced or the smaller one larger? Desperate for advice.

A: you should think about what size is right for you.

I feel that the most important question you should ask yourself, is  size wise, which side do you prefer?  do you see yourself as a larger breasted woman or smaller breasted woman?  After you decide which side you prefer as far as size, then you can discuss surgical options such as reductions on one side  or augmenations on the other to reach your desired look.

15 Years Old, 4'9", 34DD, Size 00 in Jeans. Can I Get a Reduction?

I have scoliosis, so i have a lot of back pain. And i am almost 16, so i am in highschool, and i get a lot of ridicule for my boobs being bigger than they should be. I wear a size 00 Short in jeans, which is super small. and my boobs are size 32-34DD, but they are falling out of this bra. So, a little bigger than that. If you have any suggestions, please please please email me! or leave comments on here!

A: yes with qualifications

First of all your parents would have to sign the permission for you. 

Second, you should have a stable shoe and ring size for at least 6 months.

Third, you and your parents must accept the fact that doing surgery this early could lead to the need for a later revision.

All that said, i'm a believer in dealing with overly large breasts at a time before they alter your participation in activities, your self-image and interpersonal relationships.
