“Breast Reduction Disappointment - Not Small Enough”
Worth It
Spent: $12,000 in Washington, USA
Procedure 6 months ago; 18 y/o. Went from a 38DDD to a 38D removing nearly 400 grams per side. Back pain relief; not small enough
I had breast reduction for back pain relief and for cosmetic reasons. I hoped to be a small D cup and ended up a D cup size. My surgeon he was limited in removing tissue, fat because my breasts are young, firmer, and he was protecting the integrity of my nipple function. I think he was too conservative and am disappointed in my large size. Do I have options?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
My Doctor: Name not provided
I had back relief, but encourage others to be more informed about potential outcomes and expectations of surgery

You have a couple of options- It is possible to liposuction the breast and reduce the breast size. The other option is to wait a few months and do a revision of your breast reduction. It would be important to have a copy of your operative note from the first breast reduction surgery. Your insurance company will not pay for these procedures.
