Question

Would my breasts be too small if i had a reduction of 441g? Currently both breasts are about 1550g. The weight of them is hard on my neck and shoulders causing frequent migraines.

Dear Glorious632504,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

No your breasts would not be too small with 441 grams removed. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Hello and thank you for posting your question. Not really. 441g out of 1,550g is only about a third of the weight. This will not make them too small. If you want to make sure to correct neck and shoulder pain and migraines, you can even have them remove a little more and you would still have a good size.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. After a 441g reduction, you will not be too small. In fact the breasts will match your frame well.

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thanks for your query.. a reduction of 441 g in breasts which are 1550 grams should not make your breasts too small. The reduction will be between one and two cup sizes. There are 3 D tools like Crisalix that will let you visualise what you would look like when you have this amount of breast tissue removed. Please find an experience Board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with  all your concerns. All the best!

No, you would not be too small and would be about 2 cups down in size. I would suggest even a little more be removed and take you to a C cup in size.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your submitted photos it appears you are a good candidate for a breast reduction.  This will remove excess tissue as well as raise the position of the nipple.  Although there are no guarantees, many women report improvement in symptoms experienced due to large, heavy breasts.  Removal of 441g should give you a reduction of multiple cup sizes.  It's difficult to say if the result will be too small, too large, or just right as this will be based on your opinion.  This is where it is especially important to speak with your surgeon about your goals for the procedure, including size.

Thanks for your question; however, the only person that can answer that question is you! I would suggest asking your surgeon for B&A photos or ask what cup size they think you may be wearing. That's likely the best way to determine if you feel as though it will be too small. Good luck!

Hello, when reviewing your photos, the reduction according to the proportion of your body would be suggestive and that amount could be more or less half the volume of your bust, since in the photo it is observed drooping and a combination of procedures so that the result is achieved with harmony. I put it to your consideration.
