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: Breast Reduction Hello and thank you for your question. The best thing to do is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast reduction Dear eammann, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Second breast reduction It is relatively frequent to have breast reduction more than once when when first reduction is done early in your life, like in your case. There should not be a problem for a board certified plastic surgeon to perform reduction and give you the size you desire. Good luck.
