Insurance coverage requires above 22 percentile on the Scnur Sliding Scale(I am 5'8", 170 pounds)BSA is about 1.9, meaning minimum of 527ish grams removed. I am 33" around the waist and about 40/41" around the fullest part of my bust (36DDD). I "weighed" one breast with water displacement at 2 pounds (907g) leaving about 380g left post-op. What should I expect here? I have back/neck problems so I am totally fine with a C/B size but will I have enough or will they be really tiny?

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 36, each 200 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. Removal of 527 grams would take you down 3 cup sizes to approximately a C. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast reduction Dear honeybee1027, breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
