Asked By:rahenning21 in Greenville, North Carolina
I currently weight 154 pounds and I am 5’3 tall. My surgery is covered by my Blue Cross insurance. I am worried about how many grams of tissue they are talking about taking off since I have lost about 60 pounds in the last year and feel as I have barely any breast left. I wear about a 32 DDD now and based on the Schnur scale will be having between 410-370 grams removed. What sized would I be after?

Your breasts are bottoming out and when they do they are dragging your nipple and areola along with them and causing the shape and skin changes. You would need to have another reduction to correct that--I would see your surgeon to discuss if re-doing the lift would help you.
Thanks for your question! There is no minimum requirement as long as you are healthy. You should strive to be as close as possible to your personal ideal weight. Good luck!
