Asked By:rahenning21 in Ft. Liberty, North Carolina
I currently weight 154 pounds and I am 5’3 tall. My surgery is covered by my Blue Cross insurance. I am worried about how many grams of tissue they are talking about taking off since I have lost about 60 pounds in the last year and feel as I have barely any breast left. I wear about a 32 DDD now and based on the Schnur scale will be having between 410-370 grams removed. What sized would I be after?
