Flat Chested After Breast Reduction - Boxy Shaped and Small

July 25, 2010
Asked By:TyeTye in Dallas, TX

I had a BR 9 days ago. From what I've read, most patients complain that their breasts still seem large. But my issue is the opposite; I feel flat-chested! I was a 42F/DDD and was supposed to go to a full C. My insurance company required 802 grams be removed from each breast in order for the procedure to be covered. Things are still swollen and tight but I am FAR from filling the C Cup bras I've looked at in the stores. I'm 5'8 240lbs. I look ridiculous. Is this normal? Am I jumping the gun?
