I had a reduction mammoplasty procedure last year. Age: 59; height: 5’6; weight: 161 lbs; BMI: 26.79; BSA: 1.83. He removed roughly 750 gms from each side. I’m left with such a small amount that I can’t even fill an A cup! What are your thoughts? How do I make sense of what he did and why he did it?

Answer: Breast Reduction Hi there, Thanks for your photos and question. I think what you are looking for is more volume up top, which would involve the additional of a breast implant. Unfortunetly during mastopexy (breast reduction) the surgeon can only work with the tissue you have available. At this stage if you are looking for a larger cup size and fullness I would reccomend an implant. I hope that helps!

Answer: 1 year after breast reduction. Did my surgeon make what I feel to be a big mistake? Hello @Jaylynn21, thank you for your question. I believe there is room for improvement in this area. It would be beneficial to undergo 360 liposculture and breast fat transfer in order to enhance the upper pole of the breast. As for the reason your surgeon's decision to perform the procedure in the manner he did is something that you should discuss with him. It is essential that you consult with a plastic surgeon who has experience with this procedure if you are considering breast revision surgery to ensure optimal results. Best wishes!
