How to Make my Too-large Breasts Proportionate to my Body?

Thank you for the question and pictures.

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery. It is one of the most patient pleasing operations we performed.

I think your stated goals are perfectly reasonable. Many patients have the same goals: reduce the breasts enough to achieve some symptom relief while maintaining enough breast tissue to remain “proportionate".

Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.

Best wishes.

Large breasts can restrict your lifestyle and cause a variety of medical problems. Even drastic weight loss won't result in more than negligible shrinkage. Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the contour of the breasts so that they are smaller and perkier. I commonly use a minimal incision technique (Le Jour), eliminating the need for large scars while providing a pleasing breast contour and shape that is proportionate to the patients body.

Your surgeon knows exactly how much tissue he or she is taking out, because it is weighed after removal. And breast reduction comes with an added bonus: the extracted breast tissue is always sent to the lab and examined by a pathologist for signs of cysts or cancer. Having smaller breasts can take years off your appearance!

It sounds as if you are a good candidate for a breast reduction. There are many different methods ot achieve a reduction. The procedure of choice varies depending on your anatomy and preferences. Discuss this with a certified plastic surgeon.
