I had my breasts reduced 10 months ago. A week after the surgery( with the swelling) I was a D, though I wanted a small C,and I am now a DD going on a DDD, to top it all the left one is visibly much bigger then the right one. I know you say that it is impossible for the breasts to grow back, well in my case they did. Before my surgery I was a 32 J and weighed 145LBS measuring 5,8 inches, now I weigh 136 Lbs so I lost weight right? How come my old bras purchased immediately following the surgery don't fit anymore like they did before. What can I do? Can I have a second reduction, liposuction Will the insurance cover it. My back, neck and shoulder pain have come back. I am miserable. Please tell me what to do.

Have you gone back to your doctor to talk to him about this?   I would start with that and maybe even a second or third opinion if necessary.

I have heard of this happening with women due to hormones etc.

Yes, I went back to the doctor and he had the nerve to tell me that he didn't notice any difference, when my husband, relatives, and friends can see it right away. I am going to schedule an appointment with my gynecologist tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Oh now that was nice of him!!!

That would be a god start with your Gyne.   From there I would start researching some other doctors in your area and be persistent.  You need to be and deserve to be totally happy with your results.

That's what I'm thinking too, after having gone through so much pain, I wanted to be able to walk to a store and pick up any bra that I really like and be gone. It took me an hour and a half to find one bra that fits. I don't want to have to wear custom made bras anymore. Most of all my poor back can't take it anymore.

from the look of your pics you are still really large! What the heck?? Your doctor did a very poor job of this procedure you should not have to pay for this procedure to be done again he should have done it right the first time! He is liable for this and you have to hold him accountable don't allow yourself to be bullied by these doctors who have a God-complex going on of being untouchable. First take it up with him explain thorougly what you are unhappy about and if he doesn't offer to make it right report him to the BBB and the board of cosmetic surgeons. You have a very solid and obvious case here. Don't let him get away with it or the rest of us will be taken advantage of.

It looks almost more like a lift than a reduction, though you are visibly smaller. I truly hope you're able to get down to a size you're more comfortable with!

My sentiments exactly! I do hope to have them brought down to a C cup, What am I talking about? That's what I wanted originally, but after this experience I think I want a small B cup.

B's are nice!   I have come to love that size.

I hope you are able to get this fixed. Not being a big boobie gal I am jealous but too big is too big.

If I could I would gladly give you half of mine cause unfortunately they are still not fixed. I am going to see another plastic surgeon cause the one who did this to me swears they are perfect even my OBGYN thinks they are much better compared to the way they were before, well, tell that to my back.
