Resulting size after removing 1 lb of breast tissue
I agree with the other responses but I express it differently. This is the opposite of the question, "what size will I be if I have a 500 cc breast implant put in ?" There is not only no standard for breasts in terms of cup sizes but there is no way to know how much a given volume of breast tissue will weigh until it's removed.
