I had a reduction and lift 9 months ago. One breast is a full cup size larger than the other and my doctor says that this is within normal range and he doesn't see that it needs more work. I left my appt very tearful because I am more self conscience than I was before surgery. Now my fear is that another surgeon won't take me as a patient to re-do.
