I am a 34K and would really love to be a 34C. Is that possible? I was told that they might grow bigger again after the surgery - true? I am 5'7" and currently weigh 167lbs - still losing pregnancy weight though.

Answer: Recurrence of breast volume after breast reduction You are correct in trying to loose your pregnancy weight before scheduling your breast reduction because in eliminating as much of the hormonal variability of the postpartum, reducing the fatty component of the breast and getting yourself psychologically fit, you'll truly be ready. In all discussions with breast reduction patients, I always discuss that there are essentially three phases during which the breast volume may recur. a) Virginal hypertrophy occurs in young women who develop early. b) Postpartum hyperplasia is evident after pregnancy and lactation. c) Involutional hyperplasia is best understood as the extra volume which appears around menopause. So it is possible for a big breasted woman who has a reduction mammoplasty to "grow again", if she has additional pregnancies and as she goes through menopause. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

Answer: Bigger is not alway Better Your breast size should be stable after breast reduction surgery as long as your weight remains relatively stable (no large fluctuations). It would certainly be a good ideal to lose your pregnancy weight and get down to what you consider your goal weight prior to surgery. If you do have another pregnancy after breast reduction, your breasts may change and the result of your reduction by be altered enough that you may want another operation for revision or correction.
