Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I have a feeling you are converting from sub-d back to polygon and retaining the refined geometry level. The effect is that you are baking in the subd refinement into your polygon geomemtry. Sort of like smoothing the polygon geometry setting divisions above 0 and then deleting your history. Once you do this you cannot ever get back the low lovel geometry.
