Can a A/B-cup Get a Breast Reduction?

Thank you for the question.

The short answer is:  Yes,  it is possible to reduce the breasts very significantly.  I have had experience doing this for patients in your situation. Sometimes, it requires 2 stages to achieve the desired “flat” look.

The concern with the amount of tissue removed is related to blood flow to the remaining tissue;  if too much tissue is removed in one operation the blood flow to the remaining tissue (including nipple/areola)  may be compromised.   Part of the tissue that is left in place is called the “pedicle"; this segment of tissue is responsible for delivering the blood supply to the nipple/areola tissue. If the pedicle is made too small (in the effort to reduce the breasts as much as possible)  then patient will likely have problems with tissue survival.  Doing the procedure in more than one stage allows the tissues to  acclimate to the surgically decreased blood flow before  further tissue removal (and potentially further decreased blood flow)  occurs ( with the second stage operation).

I would respectfully suggest that you seek counseling to sort out your feelings and goals prior to undergoing surgery.

Best wishes.

 

Hard to say without a photo. Generally, most breasts can undergo a reduction operation. One must ask what the issue is and what the expected goal is. Sometimes a mastopexy, (breast lift), is all that one needs. Usually breast reductions are for those patients with significant volume and ptosis. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Together you will come up with an appropriate plan.

Sex change and Transgender operations are a complex topic. These procedures are extensive and impossible to reverse. Most Plastic surgeons would insist on Psychiatrc clearance to make sure that such an operation would actually benefit your well-being. Depending on your present breast size you may require a mastectomy scar to flatten the chest and render it more masculine appearing.
