Breast Reduction from (Large) C to A for an Athlete? (photo)

It is definitely possible to reduce your breasts to an A-cup.  You should meet with the best plastic surgeon you can find to discuss what would be best for you.  Good luck.

Judging by your photos, you look like a good candidate for a breast reduction procedure.  When you go for your in-person consultation, your doctor can help you decide ultimately what reduced cup size makes sense for you in terms of your anatomy and your wishes.  Always visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for your procedure consultation, and you may want to look into the short-scar breast reduction technique, which is also called the lollipop incision.  This not only reduces scarring when compared to other breast reduction methods but it also usually reduces recovery time, which could be very beneficial for you as a professional athlete.  You could be back up and running in a shorter amount of time with the lollipop technique.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and good luck!

A significant breast reduction would certainly be possible.  There would be a soft limit to how small you should go based on breast shape and a hard limit based on blood supply to the remaining tissue.  Although there is no standardization in bra sizes I would suggest something along the lines of a B cup would be a more likely outcome.  The "lift" associated with the reduction would help significantly with your symptoms with exercise.

Good luck in your journey,
