Hello, I am on my 3rd appointment, currently with the Surgeon. I'm 34, 5'6, 185lbs. The insurance company requires that 500 grams must be removed. My bra size is a 36G, and there is also some asymmetry going on as well. I want to be busty, just not this "very heavy and painful" busty. My question: -What will 500 grams look like? Is it required to be a minimum of 500 per breast, or a total of 1000 grams? -Is it possible for me to go to a 36DD? That's my aesthetic goal. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Breast Reduction Breast Reduction is a complicated procedure that is best done by those with the most training and experience. It is very difficult to determine the resultant cup size and shape based solely on the number of grams that are removed from your breast to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast reduction and lift surgeries, including different approaches, techniques and even fat transfer and implant choices if you are lacking superior breast fullness.This is because several measurements—not to mention breast characteristics such as density—are needed to determine how much and where to remove breast tissue to meet your goals. Without knowing your existing breast shape, dimensions, and the density of your breast tissue, it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the same volume of breast tissue will weigh different amounts (measured in ounces or grams) in different people depending on its density. The existing base width of your breast and what you will ultimately want to look like will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume and weight that will need to be removed for the best result.Please click on the link below for more information!

Answer: Breast reduction and cup size I am going to be honest here. I think you want to have your cake and eat it, too. You want to have an insurance company pay for an operation, ostensibly because your breasts are too large and painful, but then have an aesthetic goal of remaining a DD. I perform breast reductions all the time on patients who have DD cup breasts and they have neck, shoulder and back pain, bra strap grooving and intertrigo. You will continue to have these problems if you do not reduce the breasts appropriately to alleviate them and I can assure you that no insurance company, at this time, will pay for a second reduction. You have a lot of sagging or ptosis and 500 grams will not produce a sufficient reduction from the larger breast. I would encourage you to go smaller than a DD and preferably to a large C/small D at your age because you can expect to gain weight with the years and for the breasts to enlarge as a consequence. Additionally, if the breasts remain too large, the effects of gravity will produce sagging over time.
