I want breast reduction and am comparing traditional surgery VS liposuction. I am a 25 year old female, athletic, BMI 21, 140 lbs, 5'9. I have C cup breasts. I want them as small as realistically possible (for appearance/physical reasons). Lipo would be the way I'm leaning, but I don't know how much could reasonably be removed with this method. My question is this: can I get the results I want (A or B cup-at most) with lipo? With a more glandular breast, how much can be removed? Thank you
