My current breast size is a 36DD. What bra size would a 500 g breast reduction leave me with on top? (Photo)

Question

I appear very top heavy. I experience much back pain related to an injury at work, and also documented back pain r/t heaviness before the accident. With diet and exercise, there isn't much change in breast size. I usually weigh between 142-136 lbs. I am 5'4" (I need a size 12 - 14 on top, and a size 4 jeans). I am uncomfortable, and self conscious to the point I almost hate to leave the house! What can I do?

Thank you for your pictures.  The fullness at the upper portion of your breasts depends on your breast tissue and the technique that the plastic surgeon uses for your breast reduction.

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.  dosage adults 2 tablespoon

Unfortunately, online consultants will not be of much help to you in this regard.  Discussing current breast size and goals in terms of cup sizes is simply not helpful. I would suggest that you work closely with your plastic surgeon. Show him/her what your goals are; in my practice, I would ask that you use goal photographs.  For example, you could show your plastic surgeon what you consider "too big" as well as "too small" when it comes to your preferences. Then, evaluating your current situation and your goals carefully, you and your plastic surgeon should be able to come up with the best way to proceed with. Best wishes.

500 cc reduction per breast would decrease only 1 cup size in my over the internet opinion. Best to discuss your desires exactly with your chosen surgeon.....

I would consider having a breast reduction. You can consult with your doctor to see what type of technique they do and if insurance would cover this procedure
