I'm 17 Years Old, 110 Lbs and Have a 32 F or G Cup Size.

I do not wish to post any pictures, however I was wondering if a 2000cc removal would be too drastic? I have heard that I would end up being roughly a "large D" cup. I was actually wanting to go towards the B range- is this even possible? I was wondering if insurance would cover something such as this. I do have issues with stature- when I sit I become exhausted trying to keep my spine from curving and my scapula are slightly inverted.

Breast reduction can make your breasts a lot smaller.

Removing too much tissue increases the risk that the blood supply will be compromised (there are many factors that go into that, but that is one of them). Secondly, it's hard to provide an aesthetically desirable shape when you go... more

Breast reduction limitations

It is usually not helpful to focus on a spectific weight to be removed. The techniques of breast reduction come with built in limitations. Your body indicates to the plalstic surgeon where you nipple should be located on the new breast. The rest of the procedure then really consists of building the breast around that new nipple position. Because the new breast is formed to the requirements of your body, it is usually appropriate for you.You can ask your surgeon to remove as much... more

Breast reduction: how much smaller

There are many factors that determine how small you can be after breast reduction surgery.

There is a limit to how much tissue can be removed and still leave a nicely shaped, proportionately sized breast for you. No matter how much smaller patients are after breast reduction they tend to be among the happiest with their surgery;... more

Breast Reduction at 17.

Breast reduction is an option for you if your breasts have achieved full growth. Many plastic surgeons wait until you are 18 to assess this. A "B" cup might not be feasible because a certain amount of tissue needs to be left in place to maintain circulation of the nipple and local tissue. You should ask if your surgeon does short scar breast reduction. You might be a candidate for a 'vertical reduction' which minimizes the big incision under... more
