Breast reduction done 2 years ago removed to much of breast tissue. Have no natural breast fold bras won’t stay in place. What can I do? Will insurance help?
Answer: Too much breast tissue removed Its difficult to determine without pictures. However two options are fat transfer to the breast form another part of the body and implants. A consultaion with a board certified plastic surgeon would be a great way for you to start. I hope this helps!

Answer: Breast reduction 2 years post-op. Too much was removed, what can I do to fix it? Hi rebel387! Since you haven't included any photos, I would suggest consulting with your previous plastic surgeon who did your original reduction, or another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area. Sometimes, a breast implant can help to give you some upper pole fullness and restore some substance to your breasts if you are currently unhappy with the diminished size. A surgeon will be able to give you some good advice once they have evaluated you in person and can help you to move forward from there. Best of luck to you!

Answer: What are my options if I feel I had too much tissue taken out in a #breastreduction? Go on some consultations to be examined in person. Most likely you would end up being advised to consider breast augmentation with implants to restore projection and volume. Some patients who have had prior reduction may need a revision of the lifting at the time of implant placement to get a perkier, fuller look. Fat transfer may be another option, depending on how much volume you want to add. Surgical simulation software and sizing kits used in the office help the patient understand potential options and possible outcomes with different sizes of augmentation.

Answer: Photos would help us better understand your concerns but if your fold has been obliterated, a reverse tummy tuck would help re-establish a fold and a better look. An exam is required and I hope you can resolve this to your satisfaction. For more volume, you will either need fat grafting or implants and that is something you would discuss with your surgeon.
