Breast reduction

Unfortunately, no one can give you a precise answer to your question. It is however, very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you... more

Breast reduction

Hello JaneLucy, As already suggested by others return to your Plastic Surgeon and discuss your proposed reduction. If you plan to have a reduction to alleviate back, neck and other problems because of the weight of your breasts 250 g. will not make it. Different breast density makes for different tissue weight when removed. Even though we can have a good guess how much tissue we can and plan to remove, it is only a "guess". The same goes for a certain Bra size... more

Effects of tissue removal in breast reduction

Unfortunately it is not possible to know or judge the effect of the removal of a certain number of grams of tissue in a breast reduction. The reason is that we don't have a good way to measure preoperative breast size/weight, bra cup sizes vary too much to be effective measures, and a given volume of tissue will have varying weights among different patients. This is similar to the problem of trying to determine breast size by cc's of volume in a breast augmentation with implants.... more

Removal of 250gr Will Not Result In Huge Difference With GG Cup

Even with a small chest size (30), I would not expect the removal of 250 grams from each breast to result in a significant change in cup size, perhaps you would be a 30G or slightly smaller. If you are doing this because of back pain, etc., you will need to have a larger weight removed.

Breast Reduction - Want 250 Grams off Each Breast: 30GG - What Can I Expect to Go Down To?

Hi JaneLucy, That doesn't make any sense to me at all. While there are no absolutes, and all decisions need to be made by you and your own plastic surgeon, there are some general principles with this procedure. It's ABOUT 150-200 cc per bra cup size for narrower women and at the lower end of the bra sizes (ie, from an AA to an A) but it's more like twice that for broader-shouldered women and at the upper bra sizes. A GG is basically a 5-D. A 250... more
