So my goal is to be a B/C cup, and my doctor put on my paperwork 750 grams anticipated to be removed from each breast. If I want to be in a B/C cup, should I request at least 1000 grams to be removed?
Answer: Cup Size and Breast Reduction It is important to have a conversation with your surgeon about your goals and preferences. After breast reduction surgery, predicting the exact cup size can be challenging as it depends on various factors, such as different bra brands and styles, breast shape, the amount of tissue removed, band size, and overall body proportions. These elements will all influence the final appearance of your breasts. While cup size is a useful reference point, the main goal of a breast reduction is to create a more comfortable and proportionate breast size that complements your body. It is possible your surgeon mentioned 750 grams to be removed from each breast based on a calculation that estimates the minimum amount to be removed, but more can be removed from the breast for shaping - be sure to discuss your goals and expectations with your surgeon to ensure the results align with what you envision for your body.

Answer: Cup size Thanks for your question! I would tell you not to focus on the cup size. Size isn't only dictated by projection but also by width. So, you may never be a B cup. Talk to your plastic surgeon and look at B&A photos to determine your goals. Good luck!

Answer: B or C cup You will not be a B or C cup with 750g of removal. You will need more volume removed to achieve that goal. However, there are some limitations to how much tissue can be removed, and the result can be less appealing if you take too much volume. Talk to your surgeon about your goals so he/she can help you get a better idea of what to expect and what the options are. Best of luck!

Answer: Cup size Achieving a specific cup size is difficult to guarantee. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your goals for surgery. Bring photos in of breast size that you would like. Keep in mind that your surgeon will have to respect blood supply to the tissues which will impact how much tissue can be removed.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction 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 determine the weight that needs to be removed to achieve your desired cup size. The breast reduction technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
