I had a breast reduction the 30th of November. I was a 32D and i wanted to be a in between A/B because of my petite frame (5'0;100/97lbs). Its been a month of my surgery, and the shape definitely looks small but when I wear my clothes it kind of looks like the doctor didn't removed anything, even though he did. I feel a little bit sad, and I know they are swollen, but will they get smaller? id yes, how much smaller will they get?

Answer: Breast swelling Hello,Breast reduction swelling can take some time to reduce and you are in the early stages of your recovery. Be diligent about your follow up appointments so you can voice your concerns. I imagine a significant amount of tissue was removed and I wouldn’t dwell on the “letter/cup size” too much as the technical details of surgery may not allow taking more tissue. Hang in there,

Answer: Breast size after breast reduction Hi there MRN, your breasts will continue to change size and to a lesser extent, shape, in the next 3-6 months. Most people see the greatest change in the first few weeks after surgery. As the swelling slowly subsides, your breasts will also soften. I advise my patients that when their scars go from pink to white, that's when they know that their breast shape, volume and lift have completely settled. You are still ok to buy new bras after about one month from surgery, but I would advise purchasing tighter rather than larger cups to ensure they still fit a few months from now.
