Insurance approved my breast reduction but is requiring 750 grams removed from each breast. I'm 5'10 and wear a 38H cup. I haven't had children so not much saggy skin, but I have a lot of tissue. I'm concerned 750 grams will leave me with a b cup. I want to be at least a full c or small d. My surgeon says it should be fine, but I don't think. I've looked at a lot of pictures and I haven't seen any my size reduced that much.

Answer: Will Removing 750 grams per breast be too much? I want to be left with full C/small D Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Based on your question, I think that you will be best off spending more time communicating directly with your plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that there is no accurate correlation between the weight of tissue removed and specific cup sizes achieved.Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. Most patients wish to achieve enough of a reduction to help with their symptoms while remaining proportionate with the remainder of their torso. In other words, there is no “ideal”; much will depend on your preferences/goals.

Answer: Breast reduction...will removing 750 grams per breast be too much? Its impossible to offer much advice based on your photographs alone, especially wearing a bra. At the end of the day, cup size is not the ultimate goal of surgery, rather proportion to the rest of your body. It is unconscionable how insurance companies are placing such strict and unreasonable restrictions on these type of surgeries. Efforts to comply with the insurance companies requirements may end up giving patients such as yourself a compromised aesthetic result by taking too much tissue. Best to seek the advice of a fully qualified plastic surgeon to assist you in achieving your goals.
