I currently weigh about 170lbs and am about 5'1. I will be having surgery soon for my breast reduction but just thought of a question I forgot to ask my surgeon. I am currently at 38G. I am hoping to be a C or small D. I looked over the notes and read she would be removing 550g from my L breast and 475g from my R breast. Would that get me close to what I want?
Answer: Size Bras are not made to standard sizes but vary quite a bit. However, you should drop about 3 cups on the right and 3-4 cups on the left. It should be a very nice size for you.

Answer: Cup Size First off, this is a common question and a good and fair one...but it is also a little tricky to give a reliable answer to for a number of reasons. Cup size is a good (and bad) "language" to discuss postoperative size expectation after breast reduction, because the cup size of each bra differs with the bra manufacturer, let alone determining an accurate expectation from your surgery. That being said, the size you're targeting is the common goal of those with large breasts causing back pain and other symptoms. There are also tools and guidelines, such as body mass index, body surface area, and what is called the "Schnurr scale," which is used by insurance companies to differentiate breast reductions from breast lifts (which are not covered by insurance). So that is probably wear those numbers came from. Ask your doctor and communicate your wishes, but the size range you mentioned is reasonable and likely achievable.

Answer: Breast reduction From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. This would improve asymmetry, lift the position of the nipple, and reduce the volume of breast tissue. The amount removed should be discussed with your surgeon who has had the benefit of examining you. A goal of a D cup is reasonable.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 38, each 200 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. Removing 600 grams would take you down to a size D. 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 scar are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.
