Breast Reduction And Resulting Cup Size?
Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery. It is one of the most patient pleasing operations we performed. It will likely be in your best interest to reach a long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with the surgery.
Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the amount of tissue removed and the ultimate cup size that a patient will wear after breast reduction surgery.
Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is very important...

Breast reduction cup size
It may be very possible to go down to a "C" cup after a breast reduction but without an exam I could not be sure.

Bra Cup Size is based on many variables and patient preference
Hi there-
Because there is no standardization of bra size manufacture, and because any individual woman's choice of bra size is very arbitrary, it is very difficult to use bra size as an effective means of communicating your goal for surgery or as a means of measuring the outcome....
Your best bet is to find a good surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who you like and feel you can trust, and communicate to them the symptomatic and aesthetic improvements you a

About every 150grams is one cup size. You want to be a little more conservative for they do lose volume after the surgery also. You may want to watch a video of me doing a reduction on my site.

Change in breast cup size after breast reduction
I agree with the comments that breast cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
It is possible to get you down to a C-D cup after breast reduction. However, I think the best breast size for you is the size which is proportional to your body and relieves the symptoms you have from your enlarged breast. Think of it visually rather than from a number stand point.

Large Breast Reductions
In a word, yes, it is possible to achieve the reduction you mention. However, this can only be said in relative terms. You need to talk with your Plastic Surgeon about your desires. He/she will then take your desires, your body build, and your breast anatomy into account and discuss what is possible. Your final size should meet your desires and match the rest of your body. What actual cup size you turn out to be will depend on what company’s bra you buy. They will all fit...

G Cup Breast Reduction
It is certainly possible to have your breasts reduced from a G to a C cup. I agree that you should not become fixated on cup sizes as there is a good deal of variation among manufacturers, etc. You should seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeeon who can discuss the benefits/risks of the procedure with you.

Breast reduction can make breast smaller by 4 cup sizes.
Hi.
1) Cup sizes are not reliable. Show your plastic surgeon a picture of what you would like your breasts to look like.
2) You can certainly go down to the C cup range. As with everything else in plastic surgery, good judgement and good technique are critical.
3) For breast reduction is New York City, we almost always use a lolipop scar. But since you need a major reduction, you will have the anchor scars.

Expect Scars and a High Chance of Satisfaction with Breast Reduction
Patients in my practice that have very large breasts, such as you describe with a G cup size, are almost universally happy with breast reduction surgery. As others have stated, breast reduction does carry risks and of course a careful evaluation and consultation with a qualified surgeon is critical.
Breast reduction surgery uses incisions into the breast to remove breast tissue, support the breast in a higher position on the chest, and typically raise the nipple position to a higher...

VERY Large Breast Reduction
Ethical Plastic surgeons prefer not to communicate with bra cup sizes because they are notoriously inaccurate and vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. (Some prefer to inflate (no pun intended) their cup sizes to boost their clients' egos so that a B in others is a C with this well known manufacturer...)
Going from a G to a C is a VERY large reduction which can be as little as 700 grams or so PER side to much more than that. Most insurance companies would pay for this

Realistic expectations are important for a breast reduction
Hello - In order for you to go from a G cup to a C, you will most likely need a free nipple graft and removal of a very large amount of breast tissue. It's difficult to tell you exactly how much tissue needs to be removed without seeing you, but it will most likely be more than 700 grams. If you undergo a free nipple graft, the sensation to the nipple may be decreased significantly and your ability to breast feed will be removed. Make sure you go over all of these...

Breast Reduction to a C Cup
There is no magic answer as to how much tissue you need to have resected. It all depends on the anatomy of your breasts, etc. For some women, it may be 600g, while others, it may be 1500g. The problem with cup size is that it is very subjective, so that you never know what a G cup is. Some people wear a G cup, but actually are a DD and vice-versa. Until you are examined, it is hard to know how much will be resected, but you can make that sort of jump - G to C,...
