How can I correctly communication my breast reduction goals to my surgeon to avoid disappointment?

I find that communication is key with your surgeon. Visuals usually help as well! I always direct my patients to the real self before and after photo gallery and have them provide me with 2-3 “goal” or “wish” photos of the size they desire prior to surgery.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Schedule an appointment with the surgeon to discuss your goals again. Bring along some wish pictures of the size you would like to be. Best wishes!

I would go back and revisit with your surgeon or meet with another. Usually, your size would go to a C or D. We do need to keep a certain amount of breast tissue to keep the nipple alive. Going down to a B cup is usually not a viable choice. Should you decide you are too small, implants can be added later.
