Breast Reduction Size - 42G to Full B / C Cup

Ok ... I am 5'6 1/2 about 200 lbs and wear a 42g (medium to large frame, solid). I am getting a BR in about 3 weeks, but the doctor stated they will take about 800 ccc (700R and 900L) But I think that is not enough and would like to be more of a full b than a full c. What is your recommendation and what do I need to tell my doctor?

So if the G size is accurate, then you can expect to need perhaps a larger reduction what is... more

Breast reduction amount

There is no hard and fast rule about how much tissue can be removed during breast reduction. I always ask my patients what bra size they would like to be and try to accommodate their request whenever possible. I would suggest talking to your surgeon again and explaining to him what size of breasts you are hoping for. S/he will explain to you if that is not feasible or desirable for any particular reason.
