I Am a 36DD. What Would 350 Grams Removed Put Me At?

Hi 36DD! A 350 gram breast reduction (BTW that obviously means per breast and assuming both are symmetrical, which is not necessarily the case in most patients) is not a very large breast reduction. I typically tell patients that a "cup" consists of about 200 ccs which you would think indirectly equates to 200 grams ("A pint equals a pound the world around" is what we learned in chemistry class and a cc = 1 gram of water, but one gram of gold would be WAY less than 1 cc..."gram" is a weight and "cc" is a volume) so depending on your body shape, means 350 grams would achieve a reduction of about, give or take1.0 to 1.5 cup sizes....but it is not exactly that straightforward an answer.

Your surgeon is the best one to give you his/her opinion on cup size after reduction.

Hope this helps!

350 grams is not really a lot when it comes to a breast reduction, but this only really applies to those women with extremely large breasts.  If you're a DD now, it's difficult to determine how removing 350g would make you appear without actually seeing you in person.  Make sure you understand that the final appearance cannot be predicted based upon how you heal, scarring, etc.  This is an important discussion with your plastic surgeon before your breast reduction.  Good luck!
