Long term regret and disappointment

I struggle to write this review but knew one day I would want to get my feelings out there. Let me start by saying that the staff at Prima Center, including Dr. Song were incredible. Their bedside manner is exceptional and everyone I interacted with made me feel comfortable and relaxed about the whole procedure from my first visit right through to recovery and follow up hence why I don’t want to be too harsh on the star rating. Unfortunately I just didn’t get the results I wanted and has left me with more body confidence issues than I had before.

I had my first breast reduction back in April 2018 - I was a 34J (UK size) and expressed I would like to come down to a large size C/small D. Dr. Song believed we could make this happen by doing the anchor method (with nipples still attached to blood supply) so we went ahead. Along with this he also did some lipo to the area under my armpits to get rid of any excess breast fat. Unfortunately after recovery, my breasts healed to a size 34G.

I reached out to Dr. Song to express my disappointment and he agreed that due to the method we used, he was unable to get as much out as he wanted so he agreed to do a revision, this time by removing the nipples from the blood supply, taking off more, before then reattaching the nipples. I agreed to wait until the 12 month mark to revise so my breasts had time to heal. We arranged the second reduction for March 2019.

This is where I have a lot of regret. While recovering from this second revision, I could tell I wasn’t going to be happy with the sizing, and sure enough, I’ve remained a 34F since that last revision. Not only that but my nipples are now extremely high, to the point that they pop out of any bra/swimwear I am wearing. Wearing t-shirts/thin tops is embarrassing because my nipples show through and sit essentially on top of my breasts giving that extreme “bottomed out” look.

As well as this, because we didn’t do lipo on the second revision, I have two pockets of breast/fat? under my armpits/connecting to the breast which make me look like I have two breasts and two mini breasts attached.

I am 1 year and 3 months post-op from my second reduction and extremely upset with how my breasts look. If I had a time machine, I would go back and reverse it all. I am unable to look at my breasts without getting upset and wanting to cover up. I always thought anything would be better than the way they were before, but that definitely isn’t the case here. I’ve never been more ashamed of the way they look now.
