26 years old, had a reduction one month ago. I know cup sizes are variable however I was a 12K (measured before surgery) and my surgeon indicated that after, I'd be roughly a DD-E cup. I realise there will be swelling but the bra size I fit most comfortably in currently is an old 10HH that I had. I still have neck and shoulder pain and the same upsetting experience with clothes/bras not fitting. I'm okay with the shape but the size is still far too big for me. Should I ask about a revision?
