If I have 1000g removed from each breast, what size might I end up being? (Photos)

February 16, 2019
Asked By:New19 in Grand Rapids, MI

I am a 200lb, 5’4” woman with a full 38/40G breast. I’ve been approved for a breast reduction with my insurance company. The surgeons I have consulted with (and the one I have selected) have all said they would remove 1000g per breast. What I forgot to ask in my excitement is what that will look like on me / what is an idea of the size I will be left with? I trust my surgeons medical opinion but I am curious and won’t be able to speak to him until next week to ask. What do you think?
