Thank you for your question. I have done many breast reduction surgeries and specialize in restorative breast surgery. Based on your description, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery at some point. Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations I perform. By removing “excess” breast tissue, adipose tissue, and breast skin this operation reduces and lifts the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall. So the breasts are automatically lifted when a breast reduction is performed. By doing so, patients often find improvement in neck, back, and shoulder discomfort and find it easier to perform their activities of daily living and exercise. I find it Best for patients to communicate their goals in terms of achieving a specific cup size by pictures. Many patients wish to remove enough breast tissue to improve/alleviate symptoms while maintaining upper/lower body proportionality. Pictures are very helpful to achieve this goal. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Breast reduction can accomplish several things in one procedure. The surgeon can reduce the size of the #breasts, make them symmetrical (same size and shape) and complete a lift. By including a lift with the procedure, your surgeon can also assure correct nipple placement and appropriate areolar size. When you reduce the size of the breast tissue, you can eliminate some of the medical complications frequently experienced by women with large breasts, reduce sleeping difficulties, increase your likelihood of finding clothing that fits and improve self image. It is impossible to give an exact amount of breast tissue that will be removed prior to the actual procedure. Many surgeons can estimate to let you know if they believe that you are a good candidate for breast reduction #surgery and if insurance should cover it. It is also difficult to reduce breast tissue to an exact cup size. Ultimately the size you choose to #reduce your breast to, is up to you and your surgeon. However, if you are removing enough breast tissue to decrease your cup size several sizes, you should notice a significant difference. Thanks for the question and good luck!
Hello,You sound to be a good candidate for a breast reduction. From an aesthetic point of view, the smallest possible size that is safe is best to achieve a long lasting, lifted result. Please visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in cosmetic breast surgery.Best of luck!
Your size after breast reduction is dependent on a number of variables. The relationship between the width of the base of the breast and the projection must be maintained in order to have an aesthetic appearance to the breast after surgery. Over resected breasts can appear boxy or flat, the aggressive reduction may sound appealing but symptoms can be relieved and still maintain a pretty breast which will be more satisfying in the long term.Without the benefit of photos or an examination I would say a full C small D would be a reasonable expectation.Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate and guide you in your decision making process.Good luck and I hope this was helpful.
You can consider the reduction now and can be reduced to a large C or small D depending upon your anatomy
