I'm currently at 40ddd and would like to go down to a C cup. My surgeon said he can safely take me to D cup for my breast reduction. He explained why but I honestly really didn't understand him. Can another doctor explain to me why he can only reduce me to a D cup? For reference, I'm 5'4, 158lbs.

Answer: Currently 40DDD and want to be a C cup ! Thanks for the question. this this always an interesting discussion in breast reduction consultation. As i explain this operation can not guarantee any cup size. It is done preserving blood supply to the nipple areola complex and desired size can be achieved maintaining adequate breast size suitable for the frame. Cup size C is achievable after breast reduction surgeries and better idea can arrived at following examination and measurements.

Answer: D cup Thanks for your question! Depending on how much droop you have, how wide the breast is, etc., that is probably why he made that recommendation. Ultimately, we need to maintain blood supply to the nipple and give you a good aesthetic result as well. You can always seek a second opinion! Good luck!

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 40, each 300 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go from a DDD to a C would require 900 grams removed which corresponds to 2 lbs per side. This is a large amount, may be excessive and may injury the blood supply or nerve supply to the nipple-areola complex. This may also be disproportionate to your body. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.
