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
