Phantom pain

Is it normal to still be having "phantom pain" over a year after a breast reduction and for my breast to be noticably different sizes?

Procedure: Breast Reduction

No not normal at all. An evaluation by an experienced boarded plastic surgeon can help evaluate the problem.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your persistent pain. After a years time any significant difference in breast size would not be typical and the nerve sensations should be evaluated by your surgeon or in a second opinion. Hope this helps.
