I Wear Size 32H, Hoping to be Size 32DD After Reduction, How Many CCs Would that Require? (photo) I am 5'4", 150 lbs. I am beginning to schedule consultations for a reduction and/or lift. Approximately how many CCs will be removed for this kind of reduction? What is the minimum most insurance companies would approve for someone my size? From a professional perspective, does my desired size seem suitable? I would like to be able to exercise more comfortably, reduce back/neck pain, and be able to fit into standard sized bras... but I have an hourglass shape and athletic build and still want that full, curvy look.

A: Grams removed during breast reduction.

Only a physical exam would allow a plastic surgeon to know how approximately how many grams would be removed to reduce your breasts to your desired size. Younger women tend to have more dense / heavier breast tissue as opposed to older women where the tissue is less dense and lighter for a given breast size. Most of my patients are looking for their breast size to be proportional to their body size after the surgery. How many grams it takes to accomplish that varies patient to patient. Insurance companies vary widely on the amount of weight which needs to be removed for them to pay for it as a reduction. Some use your height, with more grams required the taller you are, some use BMI (body mass index) and some use BSA (body surface area). Both BMI and BSA are formulas using your height and weight to determine the grams to be removed. Your plastic surgeon, after meeting with you and determining what your insurance coverage is, will know what will be required.

My Daughter is 18 Years Old and a Size 38H- Is She A Good Candidate For Reduction? She is very frustrated with her breasts. She has really bad stretch marks on her breasts and has severly bad posture (humpback) as well as rashes and indentions in her shoulders from her breasts. She occasionally complains about her back hurting. Would she be a good candidate for a breast reduction? She wants to go to a 38C. She is 5 ft, 6 in and weights 170lbs and has maintained that weight for about 4 years now. She wants a breast reduction badly and I think she really needs it. HELP!

A: Breast Reduction Surgery? Sounds Like a Great Idea

Your description sounds like she would be a very good candidate. Dpending on how dense her breast tissue is and how much of the breast volume is fat, she may or may not be a good candidate for liposuction only. THis could be ascertained at the time of her consult. Best of luck-

10+ lbs of Breast Tissue, Am I a Candidate to Reduce my F Cup to a C or D w/o Scars or Affecting Breast Feeding? I am a 25 yr old woman with an average build. i'm not fat by any standard nor am i thin. i'm an active person. i have good muscular structure. i weigh about 145, i'm 5'1''. they say my BMI is 27.4. claiming i'm overweight??!!?? what isn't included is that i have a 36F breast size! i would like to have them reduced to a C or a D. but i don't want the unsightly scars or lose the ability to breast feed. my Dr. says i have about 10+ lbs of breast tissue. will a reduction help me?

A: Breast Reduction without Scars? From your description, it sounds impossible. You would likely need a lift and a reduction, with breast scars. Your breasts may be out of proportion to the rest of your body and throwing off your BMI calculation. Regards, Dr Delvecchio Bostonbreastcenter.com

	“Breast Reduction - Boston MA” I am 17 years old and I had just graduated from highschool. When I was in 8th grade, I was flat chested.

As soon as my period came in January of my freshman year, I sprouted very quickly. My breasts were a size of about DD-DDD my... more
