I want to go down to a size C cup from a DDD. Can that be done safely with a breast reduction? Is there a such thing as too much of a reduction ? What is considered medically safe when reducing cup size in breasts?
Answer: Look at before/after photos The answer is yes but it also is not that simple as cup sizes are very subjective. The best thing to do is to review the before/after photos of the plastic surgeon(s) to see if there are patient's whose breast size is similar to yours and see if you like the after photos. Make sure that your surgeon is showing at least three views (front, quarter turn and profile views) and more then 20 patient photos. Also, always ask to speak to at least two patients who have had the surgery within the past 3 months.

Answer: Cup size after breast reduction The goal of the surgery is to reduce the breast size to make your chest appear more proportionate to your body. Cup sizes vary widely depending on the manufacturer which makes relying on cup size very difficult. The realistic expectation to have after breast reduction is to focus on having a smaller, more proportionate breast size and is also lifted and with better shape. Discuss this in more detail at the time of your consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.
