Breast reduction depends on your body type

Robert Steely, MD answers: Why won't doctors accommodate D cup to B cup breast reduction?

I am a "D" cup and would like to be a "B" cup. Why won't most doctors accommodate this for breast reduction?

Though it is difficult to give you a straight answer without an exam, it is usually quite easy to give patients a B cup from a D cup. Perhaps your particular breast and chest wall shape prohibit such a reduction, but  we are able to do that on most patients pretty easily. I would continue looking for doctors in your area.

I hope this helps.
