Revisions are commonly needed many years after breast reduction. Insurance companies do not usually cover this but it is worthwhile pursuing. Many ASPS board certified plastic surgeons have certified accredited operating rooms in their offices which reduces cost significantly as compared to a hospital. Revising scars, evening out excess skin and tightening up the breasts can make a big difference 14 years later! Good luck to you.
Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, breast lifting is not covered through health insurance companies. My best advice: seek consultation with a few board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully as well. Best to use visual aids such as goal photographs, not a discussion of cup sizes, during the communication process. Working together you will come up with the best plan to achieve an outcome that you will be pleased with. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. It often takes a good 6 weeks to 3 months before the breasts take their final size and shape. Often one side achieves this at a quicker rate than the other. Unfortunately sometimes both sides have their own agenda for healing. Eventually they catch up to each...
At size 40, each 300 cc’s corresponds to one cup size. To go from a DD to a B, would require 900 gram removal. The better technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. Pain is relieved by transferring the weight of the breast to the underlying pectoralis major muscle so you do not need exce...
This is likely liquefied fat in your drain, which is common after breast reduction when a large portion of the tissue that is removed is glandular tissue with interlaced fat. Some of the remaining fat in your breast which does not receive blood supply anymore after surgery may harden and liquefy...
