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...

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!

Patient Height & Weight Will Help Determine What Sized Breast Creates Best Result
Breast reduction has significant benefits for patients with symptomatic breast hypertrophy. Most patients who request breast reduction want relief from their symptoms and improved breast aesthetics.
The procedure reduces the size of the breast while lifting the breast into normal position. It also reduces the size of the areola. The determination of breast size is based on several considerations. In many cases, insurance carriers require that a certain amount of breast tissue be removed....

How Does Breast Reduction Influence Breast Size?
Hello,
Most colleague plastic surgeons will waffle on this seemingly simple question, myself included. I specifically state that the purpose of breast reduction is reduction in symptoms, such as chronic back neck and shoulder pain & rashes underneath the breasts, not a specific bra size.
The amount of breast tissue and excess skin taken away and their influence on bra size vary according to the tissue itself as well as the overall shape and dimension of the chest wall underneath...

Post op size has many variables
A breast reduction has many post op variables.Firstly remember that it can be difficult to guess sizes as bras change by the manufacurers,There will be changes due to hormones,menses,weight changes and time..We use 3 d imaging with a vectra so our patients can see what size they will be,where on your ribs the breast will be and scarring.That is invaluable and more accurate than guessing what type of bra. Also, the results depend upon the patient.Good Luck!

You will look great after Breast Reduction surgery!
I am sure you will look great after your breast reduction surgery. Patients are usually very satisfied after going from an E cup to a C cup. Patients also state in my office that people notice they have lost weight after this surgery because they look so much more proportion. I think you will be very happy. I think this is a good size to go to. We also always want to look at the BMI of the patient and their body type to determine what size would be best. Hope this 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...

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.

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.
