Breast Reduction from 34K to 34C?

I am a 34K and would really love to be a 34C. Is that possible? I was told that they might grow bigger again after the surgery - true? I am 5'7" and currently weigh 167lbs - still losing pregnancy weight though.

Breasts Reduction and Resulting Cup Size?

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery. It is one of the most patient pleasing operations we performed. It will likely be in your best interest to reach a long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with the surgery. Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the amount of tissue removed and the ultimate cup size that a patient will wear after breast reduction surgery. Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is very important... more

Very large breast reduction results

Breast reduction is a popular and effective way to remove tissue that may be causing pain and symptoms and contour the shape of your breast.

Many techniques will also minimize the amount of scars that are necessary to place on the skin.

Breast reduction and pregnancy weight

If you are still actively losing weight, then I would hold off on a breast reduction. Get down to your usual weight and if the breasts are stil too large, then undergo the procedure.

Drastic breast reduction can be done.

Hi. 1) Make sure that you are over the pregnancy hormone fluctuations, and that your weight is relatively stable (it does not have to be all the way down). 2) Then you will definitely benefit by a well performed breast reduction. Breasts don't grow back.

Recurrence of breast volume after breast reduction

You are correct in trying to loose your pregnancy weight before scheduling your breast reduction because in eliminating as much of the hormonal variability of the postpartum, reducing the fatty component of the breast and getting yourself psychologically fit, you'll truly be ready. In all discussions with breast reduction patients, I always discuss that there are essentially three phases during which the breast volume may recur. a) Virginal hypertrophy occurs in young women who develop... more

Breast Reduction After Pregnancy

You sound like an excellent candidate for a reduction. You will probably do better if you are at your pre-pregnancy weight, but that is not absolutely necessary. Your breasts should maintain their size post-op without a significant weight change or a change in hormonal levels.

Bigger is not alway Better

Your breast size should be stable after breast reduction surgery as long as your weight remains relatively stable (no large fluctuations). It would certainly be a good ideal to lose your pregnancy weight and get down to what you consider your goal weight prior to surgery. If you do have another pregnancy after breast reduction, your breasts may change and the result of your reduction by be altered enough that you may want another operation for revision or correction.
