Breast Reduction - Is It Possible to Get a B Cup from 40DD After Breast Reduction?
Yes - but that may not be in your best interest. 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 nipple and areola and, at the same time, you...

Breast Reduction and Small Cup Size Result?
Thank you for the question.
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 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...

A "B" cup can be created from a "DD" breast with a reduction.
This amount of reduction is substantial, but can be accomplished with a breast reduction. The areola might need to be grafted for safety which would render it anesthetic, but the operation can be done.

Getting to a B cup with a breast reduction surgery
Although it is possible to ultimately create a B cup with a breast reduction surgery, it is important to discuss with your surgeon if this shape will complement the rest of your features and flatter your figure. Also discuss with your surgeon what technique he or she will use to create this breast reduction and how they will prolong the result. Your plastic surgeon should also review with you with your final scar configuration will look like. For such a large reduction, it is...

Not practical to reduce that much
To go that small you would have to go nearly toward a complete breast removal such as in cancer surgery. You stand a high chance of losing sensitivity to the breast and skin not to mention having a not-so-attractive shape with significant scarring. I wouldn't advise such a radical reducton.
Best Regards.

B cup from a DD
It is not likely that you can reduce a DD breast cup size down to a B cup. The tissue that keeps the nipple alive has to be of a certain thickness as well as the skin limbs that get closed around the pedicle of tissue. A large C or possibly D is more likely.

Easy to go down 3 cup sizes after breast reduction.
Hi.
I think your expectations for breast reduction sound very reasonable. You can certainly be a B cup.
Talking about cup size is not really enough. In our New York City practice, we have patients show me pictures of breasts that they like, so I have an exact visual image of what they want. Everyone's idea of a B cup is a little different.

Proportions more important then cup size
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 patients body.
Your surgeon knows exactly how much tissue he or she is taking out, because it is weighed after removal. And breast reduction comes with an added bonus: the extracted breast...

Cup size after breast reduction?
AWade:
Your surgeon should be able to perform a procedure that will establish better proportions, relieve back, neck & shoulder discomfort, and make your life more comfortable. Your surgeon may not be able to assure you a specific post-operative cup size. Your surgeon will not be able to give you the breast you might have had in high school. A C-cup is the most common request I get.
Breast reduction patients are among the happiest patients. I hope you achieve the same....

There are several factors to consider in breast reduction
When undergoing a breast reduction, there are several factors to consider.
Generally speaking large breasts also have a wide base diameter. In order to reduce a large breast, the surgeon must preserve the nipple and the attached tissue that supplies it with blood flow. In addition, the skin that will be preserved must be sufficiently thick to survive.
As a result, if you want to have an attractive and shapely breast, then you will unlikely achieve a B cup.
However, if you want a B cup...
