i am 4'10" and 160 lbs with 34 E breasts. I want my breasts reduced to a full B or small C. Being that I am so short and have a small back size what amount of reduction is possible for me. I want to be as small as medically safe.
Answer: The patient's height and weight doesn't really affect planning of breast reduction. In the end the volume of breasts residing on your chest is a decision that you have to make and get across to your surgeon so he can provide that in the operating room. Your height and weight might be a consideration to you based on your sensor proportion but it will really not affect the planning of the operation.

Answer: How does hieght and weight factor into breast reduction? Many insurance companies use height and weight measurements to calculate how much breast tissue your plastic surgeon must remove in order for the procedure to be covered by the insurance. Sometimes the calculated amount is too much to remove and preserve your breasts. In those cases, further weight loss will shift the amount needed to be removed toward a manageable number. Good luck.

Answer: Height, Weight and Breast Reduction Based on the height and weight that you have supplied I do not see any issues with you proceeding with a breast reduction. Height and weight may play a factor in how much tissue is required for minimal removal by your insurance company. Please discuss that possibility with your surgeon and insurance company. Good luck.

Answer: Breast reduction and post-op size I tell my patients that an exact post-op cup size can't be predicted because there is no standard bra cup sizing system and bra sizes vary from one manufacturer to another. I explain that I can remove about half of their current breast volume. For examples of this, you can see breast reduction before and after photos at the link below.
