Are implants a good idea after a botched breast reduction? (Photos)

Asked By:hypocritical

In 2007, when I was 16, I had a breast reduction going from a DDD cup to Large C/D. Although I was very happy with the relief that came with baring less weight on my back and shoulders, ultimately I regret my decision. I do like the shape of my breasts, but I feel as though too much may have been removed, as they lack volume on the top and I can actually pull loose skin away from my breasts. In addition to that, the scar I was left with from the anchor incision is on the bottom of my breast
