Can my Breast Be Fixed After a Bad Breast Reduction?

June 5, 2012

I'm 38 yrs old and I had a breast reduction back in 2005. The doctor did a really bad job! My nipples are two different sizes and are high up on my chest. One nipple shows when I wear a bathing suit . He sewed me all the way up the center of my chest leaving really thick scars. I have a lot of excessive fat tissue on both sides under my arms tht I can't find a bra to hold all me in. I was a size 40JJJ and went to a 40C. When I lie down my breast sinks in an I feel my ribs and looks disgusting.
