Breast Reduction - Revision, Size, Can It Be Done?

That's not a guarantee, but it is worth exploring. That's particularly the case if your breasts have continued to grow since your surgery. Depending on what age at which you had your surgery.

Repeat Breast Reduction

Yes, in general it is possible to do a second breast reduction. The choices for incisions and surgical approach will be limited by the technique utilized with the first breast reduction, but it can be done.

Re-do Breast Reduction

Thank you for the question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for redo breast reduction surgery. One of the concerns when breast reduction is performed is related to blood flow to the remaining breast tissue; it is important to perform the operation in such a fashion that the blood flow to the nipple/areola/breast tissue is not compromised. The part of the tissue that is left in place after breast reduction surgery is called... more

J cup secondary breast reduction

I have never seen a patient return after reduction surgery with J cup breasts so my question would be: what did you weigh at the of the surgery and what is your weight now? Breast size can be reduced and a J is so substantial that many insurance companies would approve the operation but I would like to know your original size, your size post-operatively and the reason for the increase. If it is not associated with a significant weight gain, an endocrinological consultation may be... more

Another Breast Reduction Surgery

Yes, usually you can have another reduction. Your surgeon will have to examine your breasts and plan your surgery around your old incisions and decide if you will require nipple areolar grafting. Ideally you are no more than 20 pounds over your ideal weight in order to maintain long lasting results.

It is not only possible but may only require Liposuction to accomplish the Reduction

Yes, it is definitely possible to reduce ones breast size by a second Breast Reduction surgery should you regain additional breast size after a first Breast Reduction. I have found that many patients contemplating a second reduction come to me with the nipple complex still in a good position from their first surgery. This fact allows for the possibility of performing the reduction via Liposuction alone avoiding the need for a formal reduction surgery. Ask your surgeon if this opportunity... more

Can repeat breast reduction be performed for size 36J breasts.

Your breasts can definitely be reduced again. If you are not going to the same surgeon, make to get a copy of the operative report for your new surgeon. You don't want to have any problem with blood supply to the nipple and areola and the technique that was originally used can affect that.

A second breast reduction for a breast size of 36J

At a 36J, you can definitely benefit from another breast reduction - and can also undergo one. You already have the same scars that would be used. If you can either return to the same doctor or at least obtain your operative report, it would allow for better planning and options for this second procedure.
