I had a breast reduction on 11/19 and I have struggled with being dissatisfied with my breasts. I know I should wait at least 3 months before making a judgement however I am not optimistic. My breast are very asymmetrical and my areolas are 2 different shapes and sizes. My P.S has been in practice for about 25 years and everyone spoke very highly of him but I am not satisfied. He doesn't seem to be concerned about my breast in any manner. I think I just need reassurance.
