I'm 5"2 and weight 120lbs, so my 30Gs are significantly large for my frame. I would love to go down to a B, but several people have said that a B might be too small and drastic for me. I absolutely hate my Gs and suffer greatly for them, so I am leaning towards Bs to help allay those feelings. And of course, to be proportional to my small frame. My question is: Would Bs really be that risky for me?

Answer: Breast Reduction: I'm currently a size 30G. How small should I go? Thank you for your question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. I would suggest that you do your due diligence and select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of their work helping patients similar to yourself. It will be very important for you to communicate your goals, concerns, and questions with your plastic surgeon. In my practice, I ask patients to collect "goal pictures” of breasts which they like, breasts that are too big, and breasts that are too small as well. I find that the use of pictures is more helpful than the words “natural” or "proportionate” or "B cup" etc., which can mean different things to different people. Discussing your goals in terms of cup size may be a source of miscommunication, since cup sizes will vary from one bra manufacturer to another.Many of my patients choose to have enough breast tissue removed to help alleviate symptoms while retaining enough breast tissue to remain proportionate to the remainder of their torso. Again, preoperative communication will be critical. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast reduction concerns), helps.

Answer: Think volume, not cup size Letter sizes are notoriously inaccurate way to talk about breast size. We discuss the proportion of patients and will typically reduce the patients volume to the desired proportion. We leave them with something appropriate for their figure.

Answer: Breast reduction size I generally do not discuss cup size with patients, as cup size means different things to every person. Rather, one of the goals of surgery should be to remove as much breast tissue as possible to relieve your symptoms while at the same time maintaining a size of your breasts that is still proportionate to your body frame. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help you to understand what your options are. Best wishes.
