Michael C. Edwards, MD answers: Breast size after a reduction of 500cc?

I'm getting a breast reduction and the doctor is taking 500cc out of each breast. I am currently a 38DD, what will be my new size?

The amount that will be removed from a woman's breast with reduction and the resulting cup or bra size will vary. It will vary between bra manufacturers which can make it even more confusing. 500 grams removed from one woman's breast will not yield the same result between women. Your plastic surgeon who has examined you will be the one best to give you an idea of an approximate bra size to expect after your surgery. Best of luck.
