After reduction and revision I am still having a hard time fitting bras. I have to buy larger cup sizes to accommodate the excess fat and skin. If I size up in the band the problem isn't as obvious but my breasts aren't properly supported from the loose band. What is the procedure called and about how much does it cost? Also I had a lollipop reduction, not anchor..how will this procedure be done? Would they create the horizontal incision on me, or just operare on the underarm area?
