I had a breast reduction in February this year and had about 300-400 gram removed in total. However, my breast feel bigger and quite sore (I haven’t gained weight either), so I’m wondering if I could be experiencing swelling from periods/ovulation a lot more severely compared to before? Thank you in advance!
