Possible to Reduce Breasts from 38D to a C-cup?

It sounds like you would be a potentially good candidate for breast reduction, but I think it's important to not just consider the bra size, but the overall shape, symmetry, and long term results that you could get from a breast reduction surgery. Fitting well into a C-cup bra should likely be achievable, but I would recommend a formal consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to have a formal exam-- he can give you a sense of what size you would be, where the incisions would be, and what shape to expect after the procedure is complete.
Good luck!

Thank you for your question.
It is possible to to have a c cup. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Bets wishes!

Yes, it is possible to reduce your cup size from a D to a C cup.I usually have my patients  bring in a photograph to give me an idea exactly what you mean by the size you wish as well as how "perky" you wish to be. When going down just 1 or 2 cup sizes I think the  minimal incision Breast Reduction/Breast Lift surgery using a “vertical” or “lollipop” scar technique is a good choice.  This method has been used in Brazil and France for many years but is performed by a minority of Plastic Surgeons in this country.  The benefits include: approximately fifty percent less scarring, a narrower breast, better forward projection and shape, longer lasting improvement, shorter surgery time and less complications. In general, I have stopped using the older traditional “anchor” or inverted “T” incisions as these provide inferior results.  The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an out-patient basis or in the hospital it there are additional medical conditions
