Breast Size After Breast Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the amount of tissue removed and the ultimate cup size that a patient will wear after breast reduction surgery.
Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is 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...

I'm a 34G and for Insurance Need to Remove 550gm. Any Idea What Size That Will Make?
Reading the previous varying responses is of some concern. In my opinion if you are truly a "G" cup than a reduction to a DD or D would be my choice. Remember you did not post photos so very hard to be accurate. In terms of grams this could be in the area of 1000 to 1500 gms per side. Best to discuss again with your chosen PS.

Result Of 550gr Breast reduction
No one can answer your question with certainty. My best guess is that a 550gr reduction, if you are currently wearing a 34G bra, would result a C/D cup breast size. At any rate, I think that you will be pleased with the result of the 550gr reduction. My reduction patients are uniformly pleased that they underwent the surgery.

Breast Implants - I'm a 34G and for Insurance Need to Remove 550gm. Any Idea What Size That Will Make?
Hi OregonMom,
Great question - I wish there were a precise answer.
In GENERAL, it's about 150-200 grams per bra cup size, but it's less at the smaller end, and more at the larger end. In other words, it's less than that to go from a AA to an A, and more from an F to a G (or the other way around). Since a DD is an E, and a DDD is also called an F, you're basically a DDDD, or three size above a D. Depending on your height and weight and your frame, my...

Wrong question - procedure and surgeon selection are important
With a "G-cup" size, removing 550 grams per side will not be a problem. What is more important is the type of breast reduction you have because the shape and scars are very different.
Many operators still use an inverted-T design that predictably leads to boxy, flattened breasts with overelevated nipples and long horizontal scars. Yes, the breasts are smaller and not as heavy, but not very pretty. A vertical design minimizes the scars and provides a...

Breast size after reduction
If you are really a "G" cup, you can more than likely have greater than 550 cc's removed to leavea good size breast. However, without an exam, I could not tell for sure.

The D-cup most common after breast reduction
Though many would like to be as small as possible after breast reduction, the D-cup is the most common end result because of the geometry of the breast and breast base diameter. If you are currently a G-cup the 550 gram requirement will not be a challenge for your surgeon and if you too wish to be as small as you might be our bet is on a D-cup.
Best of luck,

Breast reduction for insurance
This is difficult to say without seeing photos of you, but I imagine you could safely be reduced down to a D/DD bra cup size. If your breasts are truely a G cup, then removing 550 gms should not be that difficult and you'll still retain a nice breast contour.
Best wishes,
Dr.Bruno
