Three Weeks After Breast Reduction - What Size Can I Expect?

I am 124 pounds and I'm around 5'6.5 - I was 34D/36C (so I asked not for a MAJOR BR). Dr. took off 334 grams from one side and 293 grams from my other side (627 grams in total) which is 1.38 pounds in total. How many cup sizes do I expect to be after this TYPE of reduction with my type of body??? was this the appropriate amount taken off? I feel that the sides are still very swollen so I am still fitting in my old bars :(

When you have healed and the swelling has resolved, you will be able to go bra shopping/fitting. Best... more

Cup size reduction after breast surgery

It is difficult to predict the exact cup size after a breast reduction given that each bra company is different. Usually a 200 or 300 gm reduction knocks you down a cup or cup and 1/2.

Size after breast reduction

It would be difficult to tell how much of a breast reduction you will have, but I would guess you will have 1-2 cup size difference after the swelling goes down.
