Are these breast reduction results acceptable? 3 months post-op.

December 18, 2017
Asked By:Smallerandtaller in Miami, FL

I feel that they are quite different, the nipples point in different directions.  I was a 34ddd prior and wanted to be a C and they are a D. I feel that the are still a little saggy. I fail the pencil test. My scars are raised and hypertrophic. I still have bra strap/shoulder pain. I think they are still too big. Should I ask my surgeon to redo them or seek a second opinion? Do my breasts look good or could they be improved? Not sure if I was expecting too much or if I should seek a second opinion.
