C is the most common size I build.
You will look GRAEAT! Most of my patients want to be a C cup. Clothes fit better, you will feel better, you will look better and you will be able to do things thay you pass up on now............. It is the BEST!

High satisfaction, less complaints from breast reduction
There is a reason you are considering a breast reduction. Large heavy breasts could cause marked discomfort and difficulty in clothing, etc.
Following surgery, you will be happier as your breast volume will fit the rest of your body. The transition from a DDD to a C is very significant and a D size breast might be more realistic. It would be very helpful to get review pictures from previous reduction procedures performed.
Hope that helps!

Breast Size after breast reduction
There is no " ideal” breast size. It is very important to communicate YOUR size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who...

Breast appearance after reduction mammoplasty
The appearance of the breast after reduction mammooplasty depends on the skill of the surgeon and the size of the patient. The closer a patient is to their ideal weight the better and more natural the end result. Quite often I will be asked to make a C cup for a woman who is over 190 pounds and under 5'5". For this large a woman it is impossible to give a beautiful breast. The chest is to wide and there is to much body fat. This same woman at 130...

Going from an E cup to a C cup with a breast reduction
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.
There are many excellent techniques that can help you recontour the shape of your breast and create a pleasing new breast mound. Many techniques will also minimize the amount of scars that are necessary to place on the skin.
Be sure that you're working with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience in breast...

E cup to C cup after Breast Reduction.
The main point of this answer is that you are not going any smaller. It is difficult to predict final size. The key is that there needs to be tissue left so as to keep the nipple areola complex alive. Over resection can place the NAC at risk. Breast reduction patients can be some of the happiest in the practice. Make sure you see your board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your goals.

Size and breast reduction
A nice result can be obtained to put you into a "C" or "D" cup with the size you have now. Find a good surgeon that has consistently good results.

Reduction Results
You will look great! Breast reduction patients are some of my HAPPIEST patients...not only do you look great, but you will feel great too!
In my opinion, and I see this everyday (which is why I went into this field), patients feel not only a physical but an emotional and spiritual change after surgery. They feel great about themselves; so much so that they enjoy going to the gym and working out (which further helps their self-esteem, general health and confidence), feel better in social situatio

Cup size after breast reduction
Cup size is an inaccurate form of measuring breast size/volume. It is dependent on the manufacturer and the designer as well as the person wearing it. Two patients with the exact same breast size may wear different bra cup sizes. Therefore, it is very difficult to accurately predict postop bra size for breast reduction or any other breast surgery. The great part about a breast reduction is that you will become more proportionate in your appearance. You will have a breast lift as well. So...

You'll look great...
and more importantly, you'll feel fantastic. At DDD or E, your symptoms must be severe and you can expect a signficant reduction in back/neck pain, bra strap marks and rashes. So, although I don't want to say that you won't even care how you look, you might not. Your plastic surgeon will be able to determine if a C cup is too small for your body habitus and he/she will guide you to a form fitting final breast size. Good luck!

Breast reduction and cup size decreases.
Hi!
1) I predict you will be very happy after breast reduction.
2) How it's done is very important. So ask to see lots of before and after pictures.
3) Going to a C cup will be a very big change, which is fine. A D cup would be more conservative. You have to decide about your own body image.

You can't predict the cup size after reduction
No surgeon can predict the cup size you will be after surgery so don't get fixated on that. What you want is a safely done surgery with an excellent shape and size for your body. The cup size just follows after that.

Breast Reduction Results
EEE to a C cup will be a significant reduction. Only you will know if you are happy with the results. I can tell you that my reduction patients are among my happiest patients and that virtually all of them would have the procedure performed if given the opportunity to do it over.

Size after breast reduction
It is difficult to say what you will look like after a reduction because everyone's size and shape are different. Look at various pictures of your doctor's work to see what kind of results he gets and see if you like the results. He can tailor the size, within reason to fit your body habitus and shape.
