What size would I be after taking 600 grams out of each breast?

Question

Hello, doc is taking 600 grams out of each breast. What size would that make me if breasts are 48DDD?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell, the best is to wait for you to heal. I recommend you to go with a board certified plastic surgeon.

It's difficult to predict an exact size after reduction, especially since different bra brands are not the same. Roughly speaking 125-150 grams of breast tissue equals about a cup size. 600 grams would work out to a decrease of about 4 cup sizes. Best of luck.

Dear Fully Loved, 
Thank you for your question. The answer to this question is difficult to predict because this depends upon your personal anatomy. Another reason this is tough to predict is because bra sizes are not universal. I suggest following up with your Board Certified Operating Surgeon. With an in person assessment, he or she might be able to give you a rough estimate on what your size might be after the operation. Best of luck to you!

Dear Fully Loved,
breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
