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

Asked By:eammann in Stony Brook, New York

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?
