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: Breast Reduction - Cup size It is difficult to answer this question without an examination. 750g is very different from one person to another. The best thing to do is discuss your desired cup size with your surgeon who can remove as much tissue as needed to get you to that approximate size. #PlasticSurgery #BreastReduction #Brasize

Answer: Breast reduction Breast Reduction is a complicated procedure that is best done by those with the most training and experience. It is very difficult to determine the resultant cup size and shape based solely on the number of grams that are removed from your breast to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast reduction and lift surgeries, including different approaches, techniques and even fat transfer and implant choices if you are lacking superior breast fullness.This is because several measurements—not to mention breast characteristics such as density—are needed to determine how much and where to remove breast tissue to meet your goals. Without knowing your existing breast shape, dimensions, and the density of your breast tissue, it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the same volume of breast tissue will weigh different amounts (measured in ounces or grams) in different people depending on its density. The existing base width of your breast and what you will ultimately want to look like will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume and weight that will need to be removed for the best result.Please click on the link below for more information!

Answer: Is 750 grams too much? It will be hard to determine based on your pictures. Secondly, in my opinion cup size is not the end point of a breast reduction surgery. Good proportion of your breast in comparison with your hips, waist and chest. Insurance dictates the amount that MINIMALLY needs to be removed. Once that has been achieved in surgery then the artistry of plastic surgery begins removing and shaping breasts to have good proportion with the rest of the body. If you are overly concerned and want better control over your final size then you will need to forego the insurance route.

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.
