I am a full 36D cup breast size and am going for a breast reduction. My surgeon has to take off 350g per breast so my insurance will cover it. I have suffered from very persistent neck and upper back pain for years. I am 21 years old I am 5' tall and weigh 135 pounds. What cup size could I expect to be?

Answer: What size should I expect after breast reduction?
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

Answer: Full 36D Minus 350g Per Breast What Would That Leave Me With?
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!
