Breast Reduction - only 200g - 250g can be removed? Doesn't seem like much! He says he can't remove any more than that. (photo)

It's not about how many cc's are removed. It's about what your final result will look like. However, given the fact that your surgeon's recommendation isn't sitting right with you, why not get a second opinion and see if the two recommendations line up? Best, Dr. Nazarian

I've had similar discussions with patients. Your breast reduction result will depend on what is left behind, not necessarily on the amount of tissue that is removed. Discuss your case with an expert plastic surgeon if you're not getting the answers you seek.

The key is not so much the amount of weight that is removed (as some breast tissue is light and with others it is dense and heavy) but rather the final result. That is, achieving what you want to look like. Provide a photo demonstrating a "want to be" example from a plastic surgeon's website and show it to your plastic surgeon and/or seek another plastic surgeon's advice.
