Thank you for your question. 1000 grams (cc’s) is equal to 2.2 pounds. 1300 grams is equivalent to 2.87 pounds. Thank you for your question.
Thank you for your question. There is a simple calculation to convert kilograms to lbs. It is 2.2 pounds per kilogram. 1200 kilograms is roughly 3 pounds. A 1200 kg reduction per breast is a reduction on the larger side
Breast tissue removed after a breast reduction is not typically measured in cc's (i.e. milliliters), which is a volume measurement. The tissue is typically placed on a scale in the operating room and measured in grams, which is a weight measurement. Pounds can be calculated from grams since both are weight measurements (454 grams 1 pound). I would recommend discussing this with your surgeon for further clarification. Your surgeon should be able to provide you with the exact weight, as well as the pathology report. Good communication between patient and surgeon is very important both before and after surgery.Ziyad Hammoudeh, MD

You should consult in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction surgery to learn more about your options. Best of luck
Thank you for you question and photos. Without seeing your before pictures it is difficult to comment on your after photos. That being said, your results are acceptable and I do not think a revision would give you significantly better results. The breasts will still change over the next several ...
HI,As you may be aware, I perform a great deal of FtM top surgeries. In regards to insurance you probably can not get approved for a reduction and then have a mastectomy instead. The insurance company will review the operative note and red flag it when the note doesn't match the approved ...
