Answer: Breast reduction Thank you for your question. There are many things to balance when doing a breast reduction, a surgeon has to balance the amount of tissue removed and balance that with blood supply to the nipple. If you try and take too much breast tissue out then there is a risk for nipple necrosis. Also, bra sizes are not universal so it is hard to guarantee what bra size you would be in a Victoria Secret bra versus a bra from Target. The important thing is to communicate to your plastic surgeon you aesthetic goals and they will do their best to get you there. Good luck.

Answer: Size Bottom line is that it is difficult to predict cup sizes after a reduction. I generally show patients implants of varying volume and ask them what volume they would like removed. If it is an insurance case, then I will show them the volume the insurance company wants removed in order for them to consider the surgery therapeutic Dr Corbin
