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

pebwJun 25, 2024
I am a 38H and would like to be a 38C but wondered how I go about making sure I correctly communicate that with my surgeon to avoid disappointment after the procedure. I met with her once but it was rushed and she just asked what size I wanted , said "wow" then moved on. It felt awkward. Is there a chance I will awake from surgery and be too small? If that happens what do I do?

You probably have excess breast tissue in the axilla and side areas which does sometimes get sore when hormones fluctuate. If need, more from these areas could be removed. Go back to your surgeon or find another and discuss your concerns.
