Asked By:Rachel363 in Montreal, QC

Im Rachel. Im 29, 5 foot 3. and 1 1/2 yr ago ive had breast reduction and lift. I had DD before. Now i have full B's. Ive just had my last check up visit & i want a second opinion from professionals. My question is, is it normal that my breast skin on the upper breasts has a wrinkled look even after my breast reduction? My doctor says its normal, that its genetic. I have thin skin on my breasts. He said that the surgery reduces & lifts the breasts but has no impact on the skin itself. THxs!!
