If I Have One Breast Reduction, Will I Be Able To Have A Second Breast Reduction In The Future?

Added on 28th December 2019

Although it can be common for breasts to grow back, it is very rare for patients to come back for a second breast reduction after they’ve had one already as it’s likely they’re concerned about what impact it can have on them in the future. 

Here, we’ll discuss any common questions around the subject and what the options are available to you if you are considering going through with another breast reduction surgery.

Would I need to have a second breast reduction?

If you find that your breasts are still growing even after you’ve had a breast reduction, there are many medical reasons why this can occur. We can treat this type of situation by providing specialist medication that helps to provide a hormonal imbalance with what’s occurring with your breasts.

This can help to predispose the possibility of you going through breast hypertrophy, even if you’ve had a previous breast reduction procedure. 

Is it still possible to have another breast reduction procedure?

It is possible for a patient to have a second breast reduction procedure even if they’ve had one previously. Ideally, it would be preferred that you obtain the original notes from the procedure that you had. This can help us to adapt the second breast reduction procedure when we come to perform it and understand what options are available to you before going ahead with it.

I have some concerns, can I discuss it with you first?

If you have any concerns or wish to understand more about the risks that could be involved with going through with a second breast reduction procedure, you can visit or contact us to arrange a consultation. Here we will be able to answer and questions or concerns that you have.
