Six months ago I had breast reduction surgery. Everything went well. Six months after my surgery I saw my chiropractor due to lower back pain. As he was pressing on my back I felt a sudden pain in my left breast. The pain, now a constant dull ache, is still there two weeks later. There is no redness, swelling, nor do I have a fever. Is it possible that the chiro treatment somehow ruptured something in my breast?

Answer: Trauma to the breast after chiropractic manipulation is probably trivial.
The reason breast reduction photographs appear so floppy and saggy is because they use a technique that was developed in 1956 called the Wise pattern. This technique does not transfer the weight of the breast to the underlying muscle and consequently the breast re-stretches over time...
Based on your photos, your breasts are too large and long for your body. It doesn't hurt to go for a consultation by a board-certified plastic surgeon. However, once you are at your goal weight, your breasts may lose some more volume so you may need another consultation at that time....
