Is it normal for by breast to be growing 6 months after a breast reduction?

Hello @suzannahburke, thank you for your question. It can happen that the breasts change size, shape and appearance after a breast reduction. Hormonal fluctuations or weight changes can affect breast tissue. If you have had a breast reduction procedure and notice changes occurring again within 6 months of the original surgery it is important to speak with your surgeon about any possible concerns as they would best be able to address your questions and assess the situation. Your doctor will likely check both the physical integrity of the surgical site along with ruling out any additional medical causes that could contribute to the growth of excess tissue or an increase in size overall before deciding on further steps if necessary.

Breasts may grow after a breast reduction if you are young and have not completed puberty, you are pregnant, you have been placed on hormones, or you are gaining weight.
