Hi I have size 38DDD heavy sagging breasts. I am 36 years old have one child and my breasts started sagging at age 13 when I went into a C cup. My breasts stayed at a C until I was 19 then went to a D then stayed at a D until I was 27 then went to a DD. I recently went from 110-155 and my breasts are now a DDD.I am now dieting to get back down. I want to get a breast lift and reduction but do not want to sag again. What size do you recommend I reduce to so they will not be heavy and sag again?
From your picture I would estimate removing at least 750 gms on each side for a total reduction greater than 1500 gms. Make sure you are finished with your family before undertaking this operation. That should fit your body and understand that the exact amount will only be decided on the operating table.

I'm 5'6", 132-140lbs(muscle), w/32F/34DD/F breasts. I've always had pain in my back, shoulders & neck. I've seen a chiropractor, work out very regularly (been concentrating on back w/personal trainer), & have great bras (sports & other). I also had a surgery consult 5 yrs ago. Carefirst says for 131-200lbs 500g/breast must be removed via lipo/reduction to qualify - 400g if 130lbs or under! I am concerned this is too much for my size. Schnur says I should be ~370g. Can this be disputed by a doc?
Insurance companies have criteria that are somewhat arbitrary and as frustrating for physicians as they are for patients. The best answer I can give you is to get pre-approval but don't let the insurance companies dictate the size of your breasts.

I had a breast reduction on 8/25. Both breasts have some swelling and bruising. The left nipple has sensation but the right nipple does not. It is numb. I mentioned this to the surgeon and he gave me some nitroglycerin ointment to apply to the nipple. I have been applying it for about 3 days now but the nipple is still numb. Will I recover the sensation in my right nipple? And how long will it be before I do?
Loss of sensation in the nipple after a reduction mammoplasty is not that common but certainly is a risk of the operation. I would wait at least 6 months before I would say it is permanent Nitroglycerine gel is typically used for blood supply problems to tissue rather than sensation issues.
