Phase 2 of DIEP reconstruction made my boob too small. Is there a fix? (photos)

July 30, 2015
Asked By:GypsyYogi in Chicago, IL

I had a unilateral mastectomy and DIEP and just had Phase 2 (fat grafting in a dent, reshaping, nipple reconstruction). I went into the surgery with a size C original breast and a size D DIEP breast. I'm only a week out and I'm already so upset with the results -- my DIEP breast is now noticeably smaller than my original breast. I won't see my surgeon for some time and I'm so upset. Is there any way to correct this -- a lift on my original breast, fat grafting, anything?
