I am a 38DD and I want to have 500g removed. What size will that make me after the Breast reduction surgery? I just want to know if you can give me an approximate bra size?
Answer: Bra size after breast reduction: just a guess EAch cup size tends to run 150-200cc. Therefore if you are reducing your breasts by 500 gms this would range from 2.5 - 3.3 cup sizes on average which would leave you with a 38B-C. Thi si only an estimate.

Answer: Bra post op Every doctor has different post op instructions so you should ask your surgeon what would work for you. The dressings vary from patient to patient. Some patients may be placed in a sports bra; others will wear a stabilizing elastic support strap. Your doctor will decide after surgery and in subsequent weeks, which dressing will suit your needs and how long you would need to wear them.

Answer: Bra size after breast reduction? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative planning. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Bra Size after Breast Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the amount of tissue removed and the ultimate cup size that a patient will wear after breast reduction surgery.
Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. Most patients, like you, wish to achieve a enough of a reduction to help with their symptoms while remaining proportionate with the remainder of their torso.
With the goal of improving communication with my patients I find the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
Best wishes.

Answer: Bra after breast reduction
There are many excellent options and techniques for breast reduction. In our practice, we work closely with patients to understand what their symptoms are, determine approximately how much tissue will need to be removed to help their symptoms and achieve their personal aesthetic goals. We let our patients know that we will remove enough tissue so that they will obtain a balanced look and we will do our best to reach their target cup size. However, patients should keep in mind that there is no uniformity among bra makers with cup sizes. As every woman knows, a woman's bra drawer has bras of multiple different sizes depending on the maker, the style, and the appearance she would like to achieve.
