Is a 34D cup size too small for a Breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is appropriate for anybody who
feels that their breasts are larger than they would like, particularly if it is
causing back, neck or shoulder issues. Cup size is variable from patient to
patient, and one patient with a D-cup breast can look much larger than another
with the same “bra size”. Particularly in a very petite patient like yourself,
a D-cup can be uncomfortable and, as you noted, it gets in the way of exercise
and fitting properly in clothes. I think a breast reduction surgery would be a
very good thing for you to have, as it would likely correct all of these
issues. The tradeoff is that you would require scars on the breasts in exchange
for lifting and tightening of the breasts. The one exception would be if your
breast shape is already ideal a good portion of the fullness of the breast is
due to fat, a liposuction reduction can be performed with very small incisions.
Most women who need a breast reduction are not great
candidates for liposuction and reduction and generally a true breast reduction
with tightening of the skin and resection of excess tissue is needed. Although
there are scars, patients are generally extremely happy with the improvement in
their appearance as well as the resolution of their back, neck and shoulder
discomfort.

Candidates for #BreastReduction surgery are women who wish to have smaller #breasts to achieve a more proportional appearance or to alleviate physical discomfort. Breast reduction can correct symptoms from excessively #largeheavybreasts that may cause the inability to do certain exercises, or create back, shoulder and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap shoulder indentations and chafing or rashes under the breasts. Women experiencing these discomforts may benefit from Breast Reduction, also called #ReductionMammoplasty. Furthermore, large breasts may interfere with normal daily activities or exercise and will be more comfortable when reduced. Women who feel that their excessive breast size decreases a sense of attractiveness and self-confidence, or results in unwanted attention are also candidates.

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately without photos or more importantly, an in-person evaluation, it is nearly impossible to tell what would be best for you.  Based on your description alone though, it sounds as though you would benefit from a breast reduction.  Please be seen in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what would be best for you.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hello,Breast reduction is a surgery that can be performed on many breast sizes, not just very large breasts.  Go see a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in breast surgery.Best of luck!

If you are disproportionately large breasted and uncomfortable, then yes, you are likely a great candidate for a breast reduction. I have done many cases in your age group with similar size changes, and the women are so happy with the outcome.
