Breast Reduction Estimate - 300gm?

I am relatively small - 5' tall on a medium frame. I am currently overweight and have gained in my chest... Currently, I am about a 36 DD. even on my best day over the past few years, I was a 32 DD. I have checked with my insurance and their minimum requirement for someone my height is the removal of 300gm of tissue. I am just wondering whereabouts that would put me (generally). I don't want to look prepubescent, but I would be perfectly happy in a c or even b cup. Thanks for your help.

Breast Reduction Candidate?

Thank you for the question. Based on your description, you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction or breast lifting at some point. Timing of surgery will be important; generally speaking it is best to do the operation when you are at your long-term stable weight. Doing so will minimize the chances of perioperative complications and minimize the potential need for further surgery ( in the event of future weight loss). There is no direct correlation between the amount... more
