How much can a cup size be reduced to during a breast reduction (J to A/B)?

Dear Awesome778110
Many thanks for your question. As a general rule each cup size translated to about 120- 250 gr of breast tissue. This figure is based on different studies and experience of different surgeons. In reality, It is not how much the surgeon removes that dictates the shape it is how much we leave behind. As a surgeon, I design a nice shape breast and remove the excess tissues and then we weigh it in operating theatre. A surgeon never starts the breast reduction surgery thinking about a set weight of tissue to be removed. Regarding reducing a J cup to A/B, it might be technically possible but it usually does not give you a good shape. The reason for that is that women with large breasts usually have wide breast as well. If you reduce a wide breast too much, they lose projection and would look line to flat breasts which are not aesthetically nice. A plastic surgeon can asses you during a consultation and explain to you what type of results you could expect and also show you some examples with photographs. I hope you find this explanation helpful.

Thank you for your question.
Without any photos or an examination, it is difficult to say. I would recommend meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns.

HelloThank you for the question,plan for the surgery and idea of the post operative cup size can only be determined with thorough consultation and measurements.For sure breast size can be reduced more than 2 cup sizes but not to A or B. Large breast reduction can compromise blood supply to the nipples.Kind regards
