I am 26 yo 5"7 and weigh 250lbs. I currently wear a 38I and the surgeon put on the approval letter to take 1393g from each breast. My breast are very large but he says that this will make me a B cup. I don't want to look like a boy by the chest.Should I go somewhere else? Would that affect my approval?

Answer: Large Volume Breast Reduction Hi Keri93, The Volume you are asking about is relatively large and with that I would guess your plastic surgeon is planning on doing a free nipple graft technique. That would be the safest way for you to achieve a B cup or a small C cup. This needs to be thoroughly discussed because a free nipple graft would prevent you from future breast feeding. It sounds like you and your plastic surgeon should have another consultation and details need to be ironed out regarding and decisions made regarding technique used for your reduction. best wishes, Tarek V.
