Its a long road to small boobs!

I’m so pleased for you. I too have been through the same thing albeit my original size was a 32/34/F and during consultation I said I wanted a C cup. Ten yrs prior I was a saggy C and went for a consultation for a uplift. The surgeon, a different one kept telling me I’d hate the scars and implants would be much better. I explained I didn’t want large breasts. Prior to 4 kids and breastfeeding I was. 32G so couldn’t think of anything worse than large breasts again. He assured me they wouldn’t be large and would just fill me out abit do I didn’t look saggy and lift my nipples which had always been low which I hated. I ended up a 32E and they did look great then for a little while until they started to sag and I had another child and they sagged even more. I hated them and wished I had had the uplift that I wanted before. 3 yrs ago I had a very traumatic experience which left me comfort eating and I gained a stone in weight most it seemed on my breasts. Decided to get the implants out and have what I wanted all those years ago, normal sized breasts. Small ones so I could buy nice small bras off the shed from anywhere and not expensive ones with wide straps from selected places only. I expressed at my consultation a small C. The op was done Dec 2017 and at the 6 week check I was concerned that there was so much delinking. 35E kind of swelling. It became clear that wasn’t swelling, and checking his notes there was confusion as he had scribbled down reduce to a E cup!!! I could have cried. He couldn’t understand why I was unhappy. I had perfect shaped breasts. Perfect placed nipples. They looked great. But they were still big in my eyes and nothing and no one could tell me they weren’t. Same as you I paid just under £7000. He was also great and said he wanted me to be happy with results. Explained the complications of a second op etc but I knew if I accepted my size and didn’t go ahead with revision I’d always regret it. He was doing a revision at no extra cost. In fact I asked as I had to go through it all again could he do a little liposuction on my back u detain area too. On 13 th sep( he wanted to wait at least a yr but I didn’t as didn’t want to wait longer and then get charged for it again) I went ahead with it. 3 days post op my nipple went black. I loosened compression bra and spent the night with warm compresses on it to encourage blood flow and every hr held breasts whilst doing lots is squats to get my heart pounding to encourage blood flow. They said what I did must have helped as no further damage was done. I kept the regular warm compresses until all was fine. The black scabbed up. Fell off a week ago and underneath also scabbed a healed. That came off a few days ago. I haven’t lost my nipple although it looks a tad flatter than the other but I have feeling and it all looks fine. Now I have a fantastic C cup. My nipples look great are are perfectly symmetrical. Both are the same size. They look fantastic. I’m 4 wks post op tomorrow. The vertical scars from nipple down are so neat and bearly visable. It was a little worrying with the black nipple I must confess but the key is to check it regular and if worried consult the surgeon. I am so so happy I went through it again as so now have what I want. For me I’d spent my youth before having kids being ridiculed for having large breasts. I was always petite with a small waist. Men would talk to my breasts and not my face. Recent years having large breasts again it was always me. I was known as the one with the large t***. I hated it. Now I can pick a bra off the rack from anywhere. I can go braless if I want( that’s never happened). I don’t have to adjust my breasts in my bra to lift my nipples up and line them up incase it gets cold and they show. Not a hood look having one nipple 2 inches lower than the other one. Even when I though I was going to lose my nipple, I decided I was still glad I’d done it and if need be I’d have a skin graph later down the line to make a nipple. That’s how happy I was to have small breasts. I love them now as they are no longer something I need to think about. I can’t wait until I’m 6 weeks and I can start exercising without that extra burden. It’s been lovely to read your story. I remember going through exactly the same dilemmas you did after the first op. Making that decision to do it again is so hard with so many things going through your mind but clearly for us both, it was a decision we don’t regret one little bit.

You are looking so great! So glad to see your update and hear that clothes are fitting how you wanted now. Completely worth it. Hope healing continues to go smoothly. I bet you’ll love them once they soften and settle.

You look amazing, very nice results.

I also had 2 reductions 1 year apart because first surgeon barely reduced. I was originally a 32 H t 5’1”. I was still huge, saggy and left with even larger nipples. after first reduction and cold fit all old bras, plus terrible post care instructions left me with awful scars. The sheer weight of my still heavy breasts put too much tension on incisions. Found a new surgeon for 2nd surgery. I was still so huge, I qualified for insurance coverage. Crazy. I was scared to death I would loose a nipple or develop necrosis do to higher risks with 2nd surgery. Thankfully I healed beautifully. So so happy I had the second surgery done!!! Haven’t posted update or pics yet because I was delayed getting minor scar revision for a couple incision end dog ears. Super minor. Overall I am now a 32 C. Perfectly shaped round breasts, small nipples and lifted to where they belong.

Why oh why are surgeons not listening to us first time round? Why do they think they know what size is best for us? I’m too in similar situation, not entirely happy with 1st surgery. Several cup sizes larger than discussed and agreed. I’m trying to come to terms. I’m so pleased for you sofia. Early sign are looking very promising.

They look a lot smaller from the side. I reckon they’ll be a 32D or DD. Fingers crossed xx thinking of you xx

They DO look small- that is what we want eh?

You look fantastic. I can’t see the name of your surgeon?

I think you looked great after the first surgery but I totally relate! I also had two reductions. My first reduction I was also an F and after the second surgery I’m a 32DD-finally. It feels good! Post photos when you have time. I hope you’re feeling great.

I’m surprised insurance doesn’t cover this since they were causing other medical conditions. Does your PS charge for revision?

Hello, I have just been reading your whole journey so far. I think you've done amazingly well going through another surgery. I really hope you are happy with the results this time. I've just booked a consultation with a plastic surgeon for a breast reduction. Currently a size 36-38 GG-H. Depending completely on which shop I buy my bra from. Have also been thinking about a breast reduction for years now and I am finally in a position to be able to afford it. I have done research into the consultants and I am booking my consultation now. Fortunately I work with the consultant I have picked, for the NHS, however I am going ahead with the procedure, privately because NHS would not fund my case - shame.

Anyhow, hope your recovery is going to be easy and you are happy with your new breasts.

Fantastic news, can’t wait to see the pics. Let’s hope the result is closer to your dreams. Were there any further risks discussed associated with having the 2nd op? Did they completely open up previous excisions and nipple area or just the excision line? As you know I’m considering a revision due to my size too. My 12 week review is due mid October.
