Certainly possible
It sounds like you would be a potentially good candidate for breast reduction, but I think it's important to not just consider the bra size, but the overall shape, symmetry, and long term results that you could get from a breast reduction surgery. Fitting well into a C-cup bra should likely be achievable, but I would recommend a formal consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to have a formal exam-- he can give you a sense of what size you would be, where the...

Selecting a cup size is not possible
Cup sizing is not an exact science and surgery cannot guarantee a postop cup size. Sometimes the base width of the breast is too wide to ever fit in a C cup. Regardless of cup size, a reduction should improve the size and shape of your breasts and minimize or eliminate your symptoms.

Breast Reduction from D to C cup Size
Yes, it is possible to reduce your cup size from a D to a C cup.I usually have my patients bring in a photograph to give me an idea exactly what you mean by the size you wish as well as how "perky" you wish to be. When going down just 1 or 2 cup sizes I think the minimal incision Breast Reduction/Breast Lift surgery using a “vertical” or “lollipop” scar technique is a good choice. This method has been used in Brazil and France for many...

Breast Reduction - To a C cup
Yes - and it's important that you and your plastic surgeon are on the same page about this. In general, it's ABOUT 200 grams per bra cup size, but it's less than that when you're going from a AAA to a AA, and more if from a C to a D. It's also more if you're a larger person and less if smaller. With this procedure (breast reduction) there is a volume reduction but you have to maintain enough tissue to support (ie, allow adequate blood supply for) the...

Breast Reduction to C Cup?
Thank you for the question.
Yes, it is likely that you will be able to achieve your size goals after breast reduction surgery.
Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. Most patients, like you, wish to achieve a enough of a reduction to help with their symptoms while remaining proportionate with the remainder of their torso.
With the goal of improving communication with my patients I find...

Breast reduction from a D cup to a C cup
This is a fairly common request with breast reduction. Sometimes patients may need to go even smaller if they are having significant symptoms of back or neck pain. Keep in mind however that going too small can distort the shape of the breast leaving it too flat in appearance. To go from a D cup to a C cup should be fine. Some insurance carriers will want to see a certain amount of tissue removed (usually 500gms), so if your procedure is going to be covered my insurance,...

Reducing breast size from D to C is commonly done.
Reduction of one cup size is fairly easy and safe. The main drawback are the incisions that are necessary to complete the operation.

Reducing breast size with breast reduction surgery
Absolutely, it is possible to reduce your breast size and shape. However, depending on your chest diameter and breast width, you may still have lateral breast tissue that will have to be liposuctioned.

Breast reduction from a D to a C cup sounds reasonable
It is typically quite possible to go from a D to a C cup, and you sound like a good candidate for a breast reduction. You can expect to have smaller, lifted, perkier breasts after this outpatient surgery (you go home the same day). Recovery is typically not difficult, and women who have breast reductions done are some of the happiest in my practice. Good luck!

Breast Reduction to a C-cup
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the contour of the breasts so that they are smaller and perkier. I commonly use a minimal incision technique (Le Jour), eliminating the need for large scars while providing a pleasing breast contour and shape that is proportionate to the patient’s body. Your surgeon knows exactly how much tissue he or she is taking out, because it is weighed after removal.
The good news is that this procedure can be performed...
