Full 36D Minus 350g Per Breast What Would That Leave Me With? (photo)

Breast Reduction is a complicated procedure that is best done by those with the most training and experience. It is very difficult to determine the resultant cup size and shape based solely on the number of grams that are removed from your breast to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast reduction and lift surgeries, including different approaches, techniques and even fat transfer and implant choices if you are lacking superior breast fullness.This is because several measurements—not to mention breast characteristics such as density—are needed to determine how much and where to remove breast tissue to meet your goals. Without knowing your existing breast shape, dimensions, and the density of your breast tissue, it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the same volume of breast tissue will weigh different amounts (measured in ounces or grams) in different people depending on its density. The existing base width of your breast and what you will ultimately want to look like will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume and weight that will need to be removed for the best result.Please click on the link below for more information!

You will still likely have at least a C cup with the removal of 350 grams. This is only an approximation though. Good Luck.

You are describing symptoms that are related to large breasts. You need a significant breast reduction to help your symptoms. There is also the issue of persistence of cosmetic results to consider. The larger the breast is made after a breast reduction the more the chance of recurrence of ptosis ( sagging ) after the surgery. I think you need a bit more than 350 g removed to get a good result and ideally you would want to end up with a c cup.

Hi,

Removal of 350grams per breast equals about a cup and a half. This ofcourse is a rough estimation as everyone is different. Please discuss expectations with your PS and make sure that you are both on the same page. Best of luck to you. Dr. H

I agree with my colleague who stated that you would need at least 350g removed from each breast to relieve your symptoms.

I usually ask my patients for guidance as to how much tissue they would like removed: just a small amount; a moderate amount to relieve symptoms yet leave some fullness; or as much as possible. I don't believe it is possible to be any more precise than that preoperatively.

If you fell in the 'moderate' category then I would guess that I would end up removing 450 to 500g, if I were doing your surgery.

As you may know, breast reduction has a very high rate of patient satisfaction.

All the best!
