In June or July of 2016 I had a breast reduction (I forgot the exact date) and it's not February if 2017 and my boobs are the same size. I went into surgery a 38DDD and am now wearing a 38DDD. I feel like I am a malpractice case because I shouldn't be the same size? My weight hasn't changed. I basically got a lift. Please help. Why am I the same size? My doctor won't address my concerns.
