18F & hoping for breast reduction - is 300g removal possible for my breasts? (Photo)

Dear Calm153061,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for your question! Yes, you are a great candidate, and I think that you will get it covered through insurance. Just be clear to articulate what your end goals are. Good luck!

At size 32 or 34, each 100 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. At size 36 or 38, each 200 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can compute the volume required to be removed to achieve your desired goal.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for providing photos. Without in person assessment, it is hard to guarantee, but it does appear that you have enough excess breast tissue for a successful reduction. A 300g removal should be easily accomplished. Excising excess tissue and getting the breast architecture lifted to a more appropriate position will be nice for you.

It looks like at least 300 gms would be removed from each side but I don’t know what the process is in Canada for getting this covered.

Yes, you should do well with a reduction of at least 300 grams. I did answer this question previously.

Based on the submitted photo you appear to be a good candidate for a breast reduction. An exam is needed to know for sure, but 300g does seem possible for you. I encourage you to begin by visiting a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Based on your posted photos, you are a candidate for a breast reduction if you’re looking for insurance coverage of excision of over 300 g. You also have enlarged or hypertrophy of the nipple complex that needs to be reduced. It should be mentioned you might need a two-stage nipple complex reduction surgeries. Best virtual consult with
