Currently a size 38G (Lane Bryant). Health provider cleared me for a breast reduction that requires at least 450g removed from each breast. My breasts are categorized as scattered fibroglandular densities and the Dr. is performing the anchor method. I am 45+ with broad shoulders. I want my breast to be smaller but not too small.
