I’m going for a second breast reduction. My doctor said he’ll remove 500 grams this time. Will that make me a B cup? (Photo)

Removing 500 grams of tissue should drop you down 2 cups and perhaps a little more. Each cup is roughly 150-200 cc's of tissue, depending upon your chest size.

It is difficult to determine exactly what cup size you'll be after surgery as cup sizing varies by manufacturer. During this procedure your surgeon has to balance the amount of tissue removed while maintaining appropriate blood supply to the remaining tissue. The focus is more about getting you results that you love rather than achieving a given cup size.

Thank you for your query and your photograph. It is possible to estimate your cup size following your second breast reduction only after examining you. The other option will be an estimate using 3 D imaging like Crisalix. With a breast reduction of 500 grams you can usually get a decrease of upto 2 cup sizes depending on your height and weight. Please discuss all your concerns with your plastic surgeon who can help you. All the best!
