I had a revision the same year and placed Allergan Natrelle 450 cc. Left implant broke again in 2016, revision done with Allergan Natrelle 615 cc. Now, for the third time, left implant is broken.

Please help need a breast reduction
Breast ReductionI’m 36 I have 3 children. I have always had larger breasts even before kids. Now they are worse! My body frame is small I’m only 5ft 2. I have severe neck back and shoulder pain. Headaches everyday. Rashes under my breast. My hands get tingly. I went for a reduction in 2008 but I got scared and didn’t go. I’m kind of glad I didn’t because I ended up having my last child in 2016. I have Medicaid .
