Hello and thank you for your excellent question. To start, I would advise that without photos or a face to face visit, it is difficult to talk about your surgery or its results. In general, 1.3 lbs, or about 1 kg of breast tissue, is a very large amount of tissue. Unless you currently have exceptionally large breasts, you will not be left with much tissue. The type and size of your reduction should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

I wish it were so simple but it isn't. There is no general direct correlation between breast weight and cup size. For example a patient that is 5' tall and weighs 100# may have a DD bra cup but the entire breast would not weigh 1.3lb. However an experienced surgeon can examine you and give you a ballpark idea of an answer to your question. But keep in mind no surgeon can guarantee you any specific cup size. All that aside, breast reduction patients love their surgery and are among the happiest patients in any plastic surgeon's practice.
