Is This Normal After Breast Reduction? (photo)

Hello, I wanted to ask about breast reduction results. I am 1 year post op. My breasts came out too small but my PS says i will get used to them. I now have stretch marks b/c they were very large before 38F now they are a C i was told a D . So after all the pain and terrible recovery time, I have saggy, small breasts with stretch marks. They were more beautiful in their original state! I have asked if we can fix them. He won't. I can't stand to look at them. they are ugly What do I do?

Breast reduction revision is always an option, but what do you want to achieve?

Looking at your post-reduction picture only, it is difficult to comment. If you have pre-reduction pictures it would be helpful to understand the changes you underwent with this surgery. With your current breasts, I would suggest you consider a lift. There is very little that can be done about the stretchmarks, however the overall shape could be improved with a lift. A lift will not only lift the breasts but can also create a more perky/full look. At our clinic we... more

Not Happy after Breast Reduction Surgery...

I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction after breast reduction surgery. Assuming your surgery was done by a board-certified plastic surgeon, I would suggest that you follow-up with him/her and communicate your specific concerns in a calm and constructive fashion. It may be helpful to evaluate your before and after pictures carefully and objectively as well.
