I have a referral to get a breast reduction through AHS. I am a 34DDD and the doctor I saw during my consultation told me that I would be losing half of my boob, then said I would essentially be left with nothing and look unproportionate (although she said I am petite). I’m really confused by this. She told me to put 300g of rice into a bag and compare that to my boobs. I just don’t know if it’s too much. I’d be happy being a B, ideally a C, but don’t want to be left with nothing :/

Combining breast reduction surgery with liposuction of the stomach is a common practice known as a "mommy makeover" or body contouring procedure. While combining these procedures can be safe and effective for many patients, there are considerations regarding blood flow and overall safety.1....
It is possible that you may find improvement in symmetry with liposuction, but it could lead to shape concerns which would ultimately take you back to a revision. I encourage you to discuss your concerns and options with your surgeon.
