Different breast reduction approaches for different people

I have had many patients come to me complaining that after years of having large breasts that they want them completely removed--almost like they are diseased! Now of course, the down side to large breasts can be quite daunting, but the downside to no breasts can also be daunting.

When patients such as yourself come to my office, I try to suggest small but body appropriate breasts. I am looking to relieve the pain and discomfort, but at the same time, attempting to achieve a well-balanced sexy shape and look. So when you think you want them completely removed -- take a deep breath and think what you would want if your whole life was without anything breasts at all-- and then come to a compromising size. Good Luck!

Hi! An occasional woman says "I never want to wear a bra again. Make me an A cup." But this is very rare. Depending on your frame, I usually recommend a B cup or a C cup after breast reduction. You want to look in proportion.

The main thing is to shape the breasts internally with buried stitches during the breast reduction. If one relies on pulling the skin for shape, then you will not get a good long term lift.

It all depends on what you want. If you go from a D to an A, then you are certainly going to look different. If you body shape looks like you should have an A, then you will look great. If your body shape looks more like you should have a D, then you might look disproportionate. Good luck.
