I went for my first breast reduction consult yesterday. Currently I am 4'11" and 132 pounds. My bra size is a 34DDD. The plastic surgeon only recommended 300 cc removed from each breast. Does that seem like too little? It seems like I have a lot more boob that that to work with. I would like to end up in the large B small C range but from what I have read 300 cc's would only take me down about a cup size??

Answer: Breast Reduction and Resulting Cup Size?
Thank you for the question. There is no direct correlation between the amount of breast tissue removed during breast reduction surgery and the ultimate cup size achieved. Therefore it is best NOT to communicate your goals by discussing cup sizes. It maybe better to communicate using visual aids such as photographs of breast size that you wish to achieve.
It will be important for you to find a plastic surgeon who you have confidence in; once you do so communicate your goals carefully/clearly and ask him/her to remove whatever amount of breast tissue is necessary to meet your goals as closely as possible.
Best wishes.

Answer: Surgeon recommendation
Your surgeon's recommendation seems reasonable. Without an exam and consultation to review your objectives, lifestyle, and lifestage, there would not be basis for me to recommend otherwise.
