Breast Reduction Satisfaction

I had a breast reduction last August. Before the surgery, I was a 38H. They were very large and pendulous, and it was obvious that I was a good candidate for a reduction. Now, a year later, I am a 36D. Although I am not disappointed in the actual size of my breasts, there are a couple of things that I am unhappy about. The first being that either my left nipple is off-center, or my entire left breast is. My doctor tells me that there is nothing that can be done to fix this. I will agree that it is not “off” by much, maybe a 1/4 inch toward the outside, but it is enough for my husband to notice, and it bothers us both very much.

I also am not happy with the lack of fullness of my breasts. I would like to know if there are some possible options for me. Although neither my husband nor I like the idea of having breast augmentation, we would consider it if it would help with either/both of the problems. We do not want the hardness associated with many augmentations, and would like to know if maybe a very small implant might give us what we are looking for. I would love to talk with someone that may have had some of the same problems.

Answer:

If you are considering more breast surgery, be sure to get all your questions answered in advance and specifically ask about worst case scenarios. We are planning on have a discussion forum on The Breast Site sometime in the near future. Bookmark the site and come back in a month. Perhaps you will be able to communicate with someone who has had a similar experience.
