So I got a breast reduction a few years ago but unfortunately due to my PCOS I gained weight and my breast ended up getting even bigger than what they were before the surgery! My question is if I lose the weight will my breast shrink or will I need another reduction?

Answer: Will I need another breast reduction? Hello @lababy13, thank you for your question. If a patient's breast grows and begins to cause physical, psychological, and functional problems, then she should undergo surgery according to my criteria. As long as the surgical technique is adequate, this will not cause problems. As the patient gains weight, her body proportions will change, such as her face getting wider, her arms getting thicker, and her chest getting broader. When a patient loses weight, the proportions of her breasts decrease as well, since breast tissue is made up of fat and glands. I suggest you consult with several board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS
