big breasts are in my genes as all the women in my family have had big breasts. In MAY I had a breast reduction (from G to D) because I had saggy boobs and it was not till later when I realized I could have done breast lift instead. I did not even come up with that option before. Now I regret my decision so bad as I miss them a lot am not exaclty happy with my new body. If I eat foods that contain estrogen would that help? I am currently 25 so I do not think they would grow or would they?
Answer: Probably won't grow back I think that the chance of your breast tissue regrowing with out significant weight gain is low. So to get more volume you might actually need to have a breast augmentation with possible tightening of your mastopexy around the implant.

Answer: Unhappy after Breast Reduction Generally speaking, a surgeon will actually use the terms interchangeably (breast reduction and mastopexy or “breast lift”) because a mastopexy is always done in conjunction with the breast reduction. It sounds like you are unhappy with the amount of tissue that was taken since it is a more dramatic difference than you expected. In most cases, patients choosing breast reduction go through insurance, but insurance requires a specific amount of tissue be removed from each breast in order for the surgery to be covered (cost wise). Which could be why your surgeon took more tissue than you expected. You always have the option of an implant down the road to add volume or fullness if that is what you desire. Best of luck in the future!

Answer: Unhappy with breast reduction I am sorry that you are not completely satisfied with your results. This emphasizes the fact that it’s so important to have an extensive pre- operative visit with your surgeon to explain very clearly what your goals and expectations are and to ask all pertinent questions about the procedure. There are several surgical procedures for the breasts, including a standard breast lift, a lift+ implants, breast reduction, breast re-shaping, etc. During this discussions is when you can figure out what will be the best option for you and what will fit your body the best. You are young and some breast growth could be expected in the future but this is uncertain and unpredictable. After a year you can sit down and discuss with your surgeon what are your options as your ultimate goal should be for you to be happy and satisfied with the way that you look.

Answer: Is it more likely for my breasts to grow back after reduction when I have it in my genes? Before undergoing the BR, did your internist or OB/GYN evaluate your hormone levels? An increase in weight, a hormonal imbalance, and certain meds could impact the size of your breasts. A breast lift would reshape the tissue and reduce the size of the areola. It only tightens the skin which will make the breasts more perky. In general, large breast reductions are better left at D cups, because if the breasts are left too small there is not a great solution. It would be silly to perform a breast reduction and then turn around and perform a breast augmentation because the breasts are now too small. You have to realize that after breast reduction, your belly, legs, and arms will appear bigger as well. Finally, the skin envelope and fullness generated from a D is usually more aesthetically pleasing.
