How Much Can I Reduce in a Breast Reduction? (photo)
I'm 30 years old, 5 2' and 140lbs. I have 34ddd's-at least. Often times I see a result I like here then a couple months later the boobs are bigger than I care for. I've given this years of contemplation and I know through and through that I want to end up a large Acup. Maybe the worlds smallest B. My nightmare is to pay and endure surgery then find myself in a bra a year later. I don't see that with anyone else here so...is it me or is this not a possibility for me :( Can I get an A.....men?

How small can a breast reduction make you?
No surgeon can make you look like the model you show on the right. She has a different build than you do. Her breasts on your chest would not look right.
Can a surgeon make you an A cup? Yes, but only with the strong possibility of loss of nipple sensation and an unpleasant shape with a very small breast spread out over a medium sized chest - not a good look.
So you should tell your surgeon that you want to go as small as he/she thinks is reasonable...

Breast Reduction
It is very possible to safely reduce your breasts significantly. Women that have had large breasts their entire life can sometimes have difficulty adjusting if they go too small after a breast reduction surgery which is one of the reasons plastic surgeons are cautious about reducing very large breasts to an A or B cup. The second reason is proper healing of the areolas which should not be of major concern in experienced hands.

Breast reduction
It is important when performing breast reduction surgery to avoid reducing them TOO much. If the breasts are made too small, they will look wide and flat. It is as important to concentrate on proper shape as well as the size.

A cup can be achieved with breast reduction, but seldom wise.
Hi.
You would lose nipple sensation, and have a lot of scars. Don't recommend it. Remember, even if you end up a large B cup, you will still be MUCH, MUCH smaller.

How Much Can I Reduce in a Breast Reduction?
Your posted photos are not very he;lapful to determine if a significant reduction is a good idea for you. Best to see a boarded PS in your city and discuss the reduction amounts, scars, and realistic expectations.

Breast reduction to A cup
I agree with the other posts. The main thing you need to ask yourself is if you dont mind losing nipple sensation, and if you dont, then you could pursue a one stage surgery. If nipple sensation is important, then you should consider a staged surgery, but keep in mind that there still is no guarantee that you would maintain normal nipple sensation. Good luck!

Breast reduction to almost an A
I think to get you to an "A" cup or small "B" cup will not be accomplished with a pedicle technique and leave you with a good shape. It sounds like you want almost a mastectomy.

Breast Reduction Size
Just about any amount of breast reduction is possible. Be certain to explain your goals to your Board Certified plastic surgeon. The main limitation in the final size has to do with preserving the nipple circulation and sensation. A pedicle of breast tissue is required to achieve this. If sensation is not important, then all the breast tissue can be removed. This is more common for men and gynecomastia reduction, however, than for women.
