6 Weeks out from Breast Reduction and Nowhere Near my Goal Size. Is This The Final Result?

After discussing at length, my PS assured me that I could go from a 34DDD to a small C cup, and I was very clear that I wanted him to err on the side of smaller, not bigger. I'm now 6 weeks out, and still a very large D. I'm totally devastated. I know my size may change some over the next few months, but my breasts don't look tight/high, so I think any change is likely to be minimal. I thinkmy PS only took around 350cc from each breast. Any chance I'll get much smaller, or should I give up hope?

It is even possible that you could be treated... more

Size after reduction

This is a fairly common theme. I have heard the question raised here several times. chances are you are at your final size. ask about doing a "Scarless" Reduction to get you down the next cup size Which means using liposuction only. That technique works very well given your circumstances.
