I got a breast reduction when I was 18.I was a 36H. Post surgery I ended up w/ lots of scarring, large areolas & asymmetrical nipples. I'm so insecure about them. Im 26 and thinking to get breast reconstruction surgery.my questions are: By the pictures, do you think I got botched? Would you suggest breast reconstruction surgery or breast augmentation surgery? Not sure if I'll have kids, but should I wait to see if do before the surgery? Any other additional information is MUCH appreciated ☺️
