Unsatisfied with breast reduction results. Would a revision reduction from a C/D cup to a B be possible?

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!

Hello! Thank you for your question. It is possible to reduce the size of the breasts and achieve symmetry. Our recommendation is to undergo an evaluation to determine the possibilities and techniques to be performed in your case.

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.

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.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your previous breast reduction surgery.

In general, breast reduction surgery can be a highly effective treatment for back pain, discomfort, and other symptoms associated with large breasts. The amount of tissue that can be safely removed during the procedure will depend on a variety of factors, including your overall health, the size and shape of your breasts, and your desired outcome.

During a consultation with a plastic surgeon, they can evaluate your specific situation, discuss your goals, and recommend the best course of action. If you're looking to reduce your breast size from a C/D cup to a B cup, it may be possible depending on the current size and shape of your breasts.

It's important to keep in mind that breast reduction surgery is a major procedure and requires careful consideration and planning. You'll need to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process, with your surgeon.

In addition, your surgeon may recommend that you lose weight before undergoing surgery, as this can improve your overall health and reduce the risks associated with the procedure. It's also important to have realistic expectations for the results and to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who can provide personalized recommendations and guidance throughout the recovery process.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

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.

Whether a revision breast reduction from a C/D cup to a B cup is possible would depend on various factors, including your individual anatomy, the techniques used in your previous surgery, and the expertise of your surgeon. It’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific situation, discuss your goals, and determine the feasibility of a revision surgery.

Hello there, yes a breast reduction revision is possible to get you from a C/D to a B cup. I would suggest getting your operative report from your first surgeon and bringing it to your new board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Without picture, I can only reply "in theory". It's feasible to redo a breast reduction after 10 years, especially if there is still a functional embarrassment and some degree of asymmetry that makes it difficult to find a bra that can fit. The best advice would be to go for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who will explain you the surgical options after a physical exam. Best wishes

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing. Typically you can successfully have a further reduction of the breasts from a C/D cup size to a B. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to learn more.
