I recently got a breast reduction, I am 5 weeks post-op. In general, I'm very happy, there is a huge improvement compared to the before. But I'm only dissapointed by the size, I wanted to be a large C to small D, but I ended up being a C. I am trying to be statisfied but it bothers me a lot. I feel like my whole body proportions changed and my belly and hips look a lot larger now in comparison. I am contemplating to get a fat transfer, but I am wondering if its safe at what the risks are?

Answer: What are the risks of getting a fat transfer? Hello @Ibi22, thank you for your question. A fat transfer surgery to the breasts is always safe when performed by an expert. All surgical fat transfer procedures involve reshaping the body's shape through the extraction of adipose tissue that is then treated in order to enhance the breast. Technique, experience, and technology used by the plastic surgeon determine the success of the surgery. For more information, you should consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: Breast reduction Dear Ibi22, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
