Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Breast reduction from 38D to A?

I'm 5'5", breasts size 38D. Would I look weird if I got a breast reduction to a size A?

Although I don't know your weight most patients need to be proportionate. Unfortunately, bra size is not standardized. Regardless of this I have found that most patients need to be a "c" cup. This allows for the shoulders to be proportionate to the breasts, waist and hips.

Most of us have had large breasted patients who want to go to the opposite extreme, such as an "A" cup. However, time would reveal that this is probably the wrong size for you and you might consider breast augmentation.

See a surgeon who looks at proportion.
