I'd like to wear shirts without a bra. Of course I want to keep the integrity of my boobs and have some shape. Maybe I'm nervous I'll be left too big. I've attached a photo of how I want my boobs to look. Is this achievable by removing 275g per breast? If not, how do I ask my surgeon to remove more? He said he'll remove enough to what'll suit my body. I believe I'm 32DDD/34DD? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm 5'2 and plan on losing 10-15 lbs. So I want them to fit that frame.
Answer: Breasts Find a nude photo of someone similar to your body size with breasts you like and show that to your surgeon.

Answer: Breast reduction outcome. The best way to get a good idea of what your results is going to look like is to look at a lot of before and after pictures of your surgeons work. When selecting plastic surgeons, I recommend patients have multiple in person consultations. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body characteristics to your own. This will get you a chance to see what typical results look like of previous patients who look just like you. And experience provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing only the best results of a providers career may be insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider, what your results is likely to look like or how many of these procedures they’ve actually done. A 275 g reduction per side is pretty conservative. I’m surprised that that estimate got authorized by the insurance company. Typical breast reductions in my experience have been closer to 450 to 700 g per side. Obviously, it depends on the size of the patient. Your best wild large are not as big as some of the reductions. Most plastic surgeons have probably done. 450 g reduction seems a bit right to me, but each provider will have their own preference and there are significant variations from patient to patient. it’s pretty important to discuss your wishes and have a pretty good understanding of what your surgeon has in mind. In my experience, this is done by having an honest discussion while reviewing before and after pictures of previous patients. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD.
