Answer: D cup to AA Cup Hi Callie, I would recommend making a consultation appointment with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Upon examination of the chest, the surgeon will make physical measurements of the breast that allows them to determine whether or not they would be able to perform such a reduction to achieve the desired AA cup. A limitation to such a radical reduction would be whether the surgeon felt that they would be able to preserve adequate blood flow to the tissue/nipple after removing such a large amount of tissue. Again, a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would provide the answers you are searching for.

Answer: Breasts Yes, breasts can be removed so that you are very flat, but this will require that your nipples are removed and then grafted back in place. You will have no sensation or feeling in your nipples and some nipples may not survive. This is very drastic and most plastic surgeons will try to talk you into a reduction keeping enough breast tissue present to keep your nipples alive. This mastectomy is usually done for transgender patients and those who are in institutions and are difficult to control rashes.

Answer: There is a minimum size after reduction Hi Callie lowe, Keeping the nipple alive in breast reduction requires that the nipple remains attached to underlying breast tissue. The tissue that keeps the nipple alive is generally called the "pedicle". There is a minimum volume of breast tissue which needs to be kept, in order to accomplish nipple movement and nipple vascularity. As such, there is a minimum size that your surgeon can make you after reduction. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss how small you could be after reduction. Hope this helps. Sincerely,Christopher Pannucci MDBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonPlastic Surgery NorthwestSpokane, Washington
