Breast Reduction from C cup to A cup

This is a relatively modest reduction. You're key word is "at the moment". Don't do a breast reduction for the moment. Do it for the rest of your life. Be sure that a small B or a is something you are comfortable with over the longterm. If the answer is yes, then you may consider it. I am not quite... more

You can certainly have a reduction based on your description but you are a smaller cup size already than most people wanting a reduction.  Whether you could fit into a B or A cup after would depend on your anatomy, your base width, your surgeon and their technique and on how you chose to wear the bra.... more

As stated, if your breast size interferes with your daily activities you would be a good candidate for reduction.  A short-scar, (a.k.a. lollipop, LeJour, or or vertical lift) that uses a smaller scar would probably be possible for you.

I advocate being proportionate.  Now when you say you're a "C" this is somewhat arbitrary as all bras are different.  However, if you are athletic it is not unreasonable to get, what I call, a sporty reduction.  This means a reduction of 150-400cc that will help maintain a nice figure... more
