Second Breast Reduction?
I had a breast reduction at 16 that brought me to a 34D (ish, probably actually a 30 or 32 band size) and now at age 39, I'm a 32H. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar situation with breast tissue growing back (I probably wasn't done growing at 16 and also human adult weight gain caused growth as well). My breasts are dense, heavy. and uncomfortable, and for this reason I'm considering a second reduction down the road. I doubt I'm a candidate for lypo (tissue is very dense). I was wondering if anyone else had this situation happen, if you went ahead with a second reduction, and how it went. Thanks!!! I'm also happy to share more specifics of my experience for anyone considering reduction #1.

Wow that sounds pretty insane in hindsight, that they approved you for a reduction at 16?
I know for myself (and most women), breast tissue keeps growing until well into your 20s, and I always thought reduction surgery was not an option until at least 18 (and most doctors would even advise to wait until 21+).
I personally don't have any useful input for you, except for maybe to look into the Reddit /reduction thread?
bubblegum Thanks and good idea. I've done a bit of googling. Ya, I was approved for insurance and everything. They asked if I had grown in the past year and I said "no" and had probably convinced myself that was true.
