I had a breast reduction in 2013 when I was 19. The surgeon didn't take equal amounts of tissue from both sides, and I still have back pain and bras don't fit me correctly. I think I've had some regrowth; at the time I'd recently been in the hospital and lost a lot of weight, so I think I was still gaining it back. I'm disabled, so the extra weight makes it difficult to stand and walk for long periods. Would a reduction from a C/D cup to a B be realistic?
Answer: Surgery You need an examination to see if the blood flow to your areolae can be kept if enough tissue were removed to take you down to a B cup. Otherwise, you might need to just go down to a C.

Answer: Breast reduction Dear eammann, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong.
