I recently just got approved for a breast reduction with my insurance BCBS and they are requiring 500g to be taken from at least one breast since one is bigger than the other. Do you think that will make me too small? I am currently a 38G and I am striving for a full C or small D cup. Thank you so much

Answer: Reduce breast to a size proportionate to your body At size 38, each 200 gram removal corresponds to 1 cup size change. I do not recommend a C or D since it may be disproportionately small relative to your body. The technique I recommend for breast reduction 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. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: 500 gm reduction A breast reduction is often a balance between the patient goals and the limits of anatomy. Your surgeon will know what is necessary with regards to weight resection. Anatomic limits are non-negotiable as a certain amount of tissue must be preserved in order to maintain vascular supply to the nipple areolar complex. This amount tends to rise with the distance the nipple must travel from where it is to its planned destination. Technically speaking, the larger breast (and greater the ptosis) the more tissue that will need to be preserved in order to maintain vascular supply to the nipple areolar complex. Ultimately, you do play a role in the decision making process. The anatomic restrictions are, on the other hand, more rigid.
