Hi, I’m 5’3, 160 lbs and an 18 year old who really wants to go shopping in the teen section like everyone else but unfortunately I can’t because I have 34 DDD breasts. I would like to know how many cup sizes I would be able to get them reduced to. And if so would they still be able to stay perky at that size with no implants as I age because I do not want implants.
Answer: Significant Reduction The limitations to breast reduction amount is leaving enough tissue behind to supply blood flow to the nipple and skin flaps. That does not mean that significant size reduction is not possible, because it certainly is with a judicious but ambitious reduction plan, as you mention. Most patients, in my experience, meeting the description you provide, commonly are able to wear size C bra postoperatively as a reasonable expectation. There would be no need for implants, especially at your age and native breast size, as your own tissue is likely to lend itself to your best breast shape, contour, and consistency, in my view.

Answer: Breast reduction Thanks for your question! You would need to be seen in person to determine how small we could get your breasts. Some of the final cup size is dictated by the width of your breast so it's always difficult to give an exact answer. Find a breast expert in your area for an optimal outcome. Good luck!

Answer: Considering breast reduction From your description it sounds as though you'd be a candidate for breast reduction. The amount removed is best decided after a discussion with the patient and an examination. As you age your breasts will continue to age with you. The size and appearance can also be influenced by weight loss or gain as well as future pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 34, each 100 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. The 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.
