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!

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.

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... more

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.

A: Size after breast reduction

Steven H. Schuster, MD

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.
