9 years post reduction! Considering second reduction
It’s crazy that 9(!) years have passed since my breast reduction! A lot has happened since, and today I don’t regret my decision to do it, but I wish the results were a bit more in line with what I wanted (and still want). I realize now that I was very young to make this decision, but at the same time I’m proud of myself for taking action. It really shows that I felt like I had to do this for myself.
Now, my boobs. They are now very big, and I feel like they’re back to pre-reduction state almost. My back and neck pain went away for a while after the surgery, but it’s back. I still have little to no sense of touch in my breasts and my nipples are still inverted after the deduction. However, the scares have healed nicely and are barely visible at this point.
During around 1-2 of these 9 years I lost a ton of weight due to depression and I also stopped being on birth control. During this time, my boobs were in their prime, they were so much smaller! I don’t know if it was due to the weightloss or the birth control (or a combination of the two) but I definitely want to go back to that state, however the weight loss was not very healthy. I’m attaching two photos (with the leo bikini) where you can see how much smaller they were then.
I’m kind of in a crossroads right now. I know I want to have another reduction eventually, but I’m not sure if I should do it now. I know I might want to start trying to have a baby around next year so I don’t want to mess that up. At the same time, I’m already scared about what a potential pregnancy would entail when it comes to my back and neck pain which is already quite severe as it is due to my big chest. Another option is of course to try to lose weight again but I’m also currently at a normal weight. Any words of advice are appreciated!

Considering Second Reduction
Almost two years has passed since my BR and I’m very unhappy with the results. I cry every week because they are still huge and almost the same size as berfore, the only difference is that I have no sensation now and ugly crazy nipples. I’m very upset and considering another reduction.
Upset with the nipples
So, more than a year has passed - almost one and a half year since my BR. I'm still having nipple issues, with hypertrophic scars around one nipple and the other nipple being completely inverted. They are both "wobbly" and float around looking very weird at times. When in a normal position they are very large and inverted. I'm a bit upset about them because I didn't see this coming at all. But I try to be positive and think about the good aspects - no back pain and lookin good in clothes. But when I look down on my nipples I kind of want to cry. And unfortunately it doesn't seem like this issue can be resolved.
