I just had reduction 4 days ago. I was a 36DD. I requested a full C. I am 5'5"1/2 and weigh 160. I hope that I picked the right size. I am regretting not communicating more with my doctor. I am in shock with the size difference! I feel like I look too small. I am hoping its just cause I am in that surgical bra that smashes you, and because they need to drop some. My concern is are they going to shrink more after the swelling goes down? I've heard different answers on this. Please help!!!!!

Answer: Breast reduction sizing Four days postop and already worrying about swelling? My big concern in terms of your expectations is that you acknowledge that you are in a compressive surgical bra. Why don't you wait until your sutures are removed and you are wearing a regular bra before rushing to judgment? If your surgery was covered by insurance, it is not simply a matter of picking what size you think you should be. The surgeon must remove the minimum gram weight required by the insurance company or the procedure will be retrospectively denied. Preoperative communication is an essential component of every operation, cosmetic or reconstructive, and it works both ways.
