I had a breast reduction 1 year ago. They took 520g approx. out of each breast. I was wearing a 40D or 40DD bra (although my surgeon thought I was more of an F cup.) and I now wear a 40D minimizer bra. The surgery well and healed very well, however I am unhappy with the size, I wish they were smaller, and my back pain would be less. I am not sure if I should go in for a revision, or if I should just focus on loosing weight. I am 37, 5"7 and 190lbs.

Answer: Maximizing Your Breast Reduction Given your height and weight and that you mentioned weight loss as an option, I think that is the best approach. I think it's reasonable to lose 10 to 20 lbs and then reassess the situation. Your breasts may decrease in size. If they do decrease in size and you're satisfied then that's it. If they don't then you could consider a revision. A revision may entail another formal breast reduction or you may be a candidate for a less aggressive approach in the form of liposuction only. A liposuction only approach would not require any significant incisions and it's performed under local anesthesia in our office.
