Breast Reduction: Q&A

Ask a Question

I’m 23 and Having a BR in August. I Am a 38H and Would Like to Go Down to a 38D. Will I Have to Do the FNG?

When I had my consultation with my PS, he stated that I wouldn't have to do the Free nipple graft but I did not tell him what size I wanted to achieve at that time. Now I'm afraid I will have to seeing as I am going down 4 sizes. What do you think?

You need to discuss with your plastic surgeon.

It is very important for you to talk with your plastic surgeon again. Please tell him your desired goal size and whether this can be achieved with or without free nipple grafting. As you may know, FNG is an option to reduce breast size reliably; however, there are pros and cons to the technique. I cannot tell you whether FNG will be needed or not without direct examination.
