Possible to Reduce my 38DD breasts to a B cup? I'm 5'6 and Weigh 160 Lbs.

Yes it may be possible to achieve a significantly smaller breast  cup size.  On the other hand, it may be necessary to do 2 operations  (staged) to get results you're looking for safely. Removing too much tissue during one operation may compromise the blood flow to the breast tissue and/or the nipple–areola tissue.

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

 

There are reduction size limits to assure good preservation of sensation and optimal wound healing. Your prospective reduction sounds a bit extreme.

Yes with a breast reduction mammoloplasty operation. Best to see a boarded PS in your area to in person discuss your options.
