How Long After Major Breast Reduction Until I See my New Size Breasts?

July 28, 2010
Asked By:Tmkmurphy in Minneapolis

I had a breast reduction 4 weeks and took 900cc out of one breast and 870cc out of another. I was a 40G and was hoping to be a small C. (My doctor and I discussed this prior to surgery.) I had the anchor procedure done and 2 drainage tubes for 9 days. I tried on a 40C bra underwire bra today and it was a real tight fit. I am thinking I might be a small D, about a full size larger than my goal. My breasts don't look too swollen to me, so is this my final size? How long until I know for sure?
