Breast Reduction from DDD to C, Would This Keep Me Proportionate?

I am 5' 1/2'' (dead in the middle can't round it) and my back is constantly pressured and hurting. I weigh about 148-153. Varies on what I eat. And my breasts are size 38DDD. I feel un-proportional for myself. When judging with my friends, my waist size was actually average. And it looks weird to have my breasts so large. In addition to my back hurting, it strains my neck to help keep them up. MY shoulders are a bit broad, but not extremely. Just wondering if it would look right with a size C.

A: Breast Reduction is Excellent Option- but bra size not a good criterion

Hi there-

It sounds like you may be a great candidate for a breast reduction, and I do believe that the average patient with your complaints and goals would be very pleased with the experience and outcome as long as she mad her choices and decisions appropriately.

On the other hand, it is very difficult to use bra size as a means of communicating your goals, or judging the outcome.

A better way would be for you to develop and communicate to your surgeon a goal for your appearance and proportion. I suspect that if you have an appearance and proportion you like, and your discomfort is relieved or improved significantly, that you won't care what letter is on your bra.

What Are the Chances of Developing Pain from Scar Tissue with a Breast Reduction?

I am thinking about getting a breast reduction. I'm worried about the likelihood or chance of having pain later in life from scar tissue. ive been reading online blogs/chats/posts from women who developed radiating pain years later (4 years/10 years later). Are some people more likely to get this versus others? What are the factors that increase this likelihood? I would be going from a DD to a C. Thanks.

A: Chronic Pain after Breast Reduction Extremely Rare

Hi there-

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about, because in many years of doing lots and lots of breast surgery, I have never heard of a patient having chronic pain after breast reduction surgery.

The fact is that there are actually very few nerves within the breast tissue, and so other than the pain from the skin incisions, most breast reduction patients have much less pain than breast augmentation patients.

This is among the very many reasons that breast reduction is one of the most fulfilling and positively reviewed procedures that plastic surgeons perform (see the 94% approval rating here on RealSelf!).

As long as you choose your surgeon carefully, this should not be a significant risk for you.

A: Breast Reduction Should be Very Fulfilling for you- but beware "Laser" procedures

Hi there-

There is no doubt in my mind that if you make good choices, breast reduction surgery will be a very rewarding and positive experience for you.

I would be extremely wary of any surgeon that is trying to get your attention by marketing "laser breast reduction".  There is no magic in plastic surgery- whether you use a laser, a robot, pixie dust, or any other gimmick. Just good training, experience, and hopefully some talent.

The greatest concern, beyond the fact that doctors are engaging in this kind of snake oil marketing, is the fact that this person will be making decisions that will impact your safety and happiness. If they have already demonstrated their willingness to compromise their ethics and morals by engaging in such deceptive (if not fraudulent) activities, how can you possibly have confidence that the decisions they make while you are asleep are in your best interests, and not just in theirs?

I would run away from anyone using such gimmicks and cute names (quick lift, lunch time lipo, naturalfill) to attract patients.

Find an ethical, responsible, skilled and talented surgeon who can demonstrate a history of consistently lovely and natural results and visit for a consultation. You'll be glad you did.
