How Will I Look After a 2000 Gram Breast Reduction?
I am 5'8 200 lbs, my breast are about a 40 E-F, my breast are not dense and are saggy. I am scheduled to have a reduction of 1000 grams from each breast and afraid that I may look like a boy afterwards. How much of a decrease in cup sizes would you say this will be and do you think this is extreme. I am worried that my breast will be to small for my frame, my PS says it won't. He is predicting a 38-40 large B-small C. What do you think?

You should do great with your breast reduction and look like a women
With your height and weight and the size of your breast that you describe you should get great result.

Talk to your surgeon!
1000 gram reduction per breast is a large reduction but is necessary in some patients. Generally patients wear full B -small C bras after surgery. Without seeing your pre-operative photographs it is difficult to predict what you will look like after your surgery. Discuss these concerns with your surgeon before surgery. Make sure there is clear communication betweeen the two of you regarding size expectations. Bring photographs with you to demonstrate what...

Cup Size after Breast Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast adduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to predict exactly what cup size you will be are exactly what you will look like after breast reduction surgery. In other words, there is no correlation between grams of tissue removed and resulting cup size or look. Furthermore as you know, cup sizes vary depending on who...

Breast reduction
What size will you be after surgery? I do not know without an exam.. I do perform a lot of reductions on women of your size and 1000 gms off per side on very large breasts should leave a reasonable amount of tissue to make a nicely shaped breast in most cases.

Breast reduction-post op size
When doing a breast reduction the insurance companies dictate the minimal amount to be removed.When I do a breast reduction I try to satisfy the insurance company and at the same time may the patient proportional to their body size whatever that may be.I really don't know what a c or d cup is because it will vary from one bra manufacturer to another.But I think you will be fine.

1000 GR Reduction in Each Breast Sounds Appropriate
I think that you will be happy with a 1000 gram reduction of each breast. If you are now wearing a E or F cup bra, my guess is that a 1000 gram reduction will leave you in the C/D cup range which should not "leave you looking like a boy".

Breast reduction
At 5'8" you are significantly above your ideal body weight and I would estimate that your breasts are significantly larger than the average breast reduction. A 1000 gm per breast reduction may not be as dramatic as you think.

A posted photo would help. But if a TOTAL of 2,ooo per side or on both is the question??? If each breast will be 2,000 down that a small c to mid c. Hope that is what you desire. Discuss in detail with the surgeon, please. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091
