Is it possible for breast tissue to grow back after a breast reduction? I had it done a couple of years ago and now my breasts look like they're the same size they were before the surgery. I haven't gained any weight or anything either. Is this common? Do I need a revision?
Answer: Do breasts grow back after reduction? Yes they can grow back depending on hormonal changes( ie: puberty, pregnancy, menopause) or weight changes. Every women gains and loses weight in different areas on their body and the breasts can be affected. The most common scenario for breast growth is having a breast reduction on a young female from 16 - 21 years of age as they will still continue to have hormone stimulated growth. Those patients may need another reduction. Hope this helps!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Uncommon but it can happen Great question. This is an uncommon phenomenon but it can happen. The patients who are typically at greatest risk for this happening (though risk is still low, maybe 15%) are younger patients, such as those who have very large breasts and get them reduced during their teen years. These patients often haven't fully reached their adult breast size, but sometimes have breasts so large that they benefit from an early reduction. They have a slightly higher risk of needing an additional reduction down the line, but most still do not. Other scenarios where the increase in size is most likely to happen are after being pregnant or gaining weight. Outside of these scenarios, it is still possible but very unusual. If you need another reduction it is usually safe to do.

Answer: Regrowth of breast after breast reduction It is uncommon, but your breast can grow back. This can be due to normal changes through out different stages of life but in some rare medical cases it can lead to rapid growth and this is seen mostly in younger woman. The specifics of such condition is not the topic of this discussion but we plastic surgeons do see "re-do" cases from time to time. It is very very helpful to know the "pattern" used to rearrange your breast tissue the first time around because these patterns are used to keep your nipple/areolar complex nourished with blood supply.

Answer: Breast Tissue Unfortunately, breast tissue may continue to grow after undergoing breast reduction surgery, sometimes even leading to a second procedure. Weight gain and pregnancy are primarily responsible for changes in the size and shape of the breasts, although aging and gravity will also affect them over time. Even without weight gain or pregnancy, some people are still susceptible to further breast growth, especially if they received their surgery at a younger age.

Answer: Breast get large again Yes, after a breast reduction some ladies do experience a re-enlargement of thier breasts. This more often occurs when a reduction is done in a teenager but can occur later in life also
