I weigh around 181 and i feel like most of my weight goes to my breast. Ive tried to find this out for a while now but i havent found a straight answer. My cup and band size is a 34 H. Im going to get a breast reduction after i have my second child but i wanted to know how many LBS i have on my body from my breast. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank you:) .
Answer: How many LBS does my breast weigh? I feel sorry for you. That is significant weight that you are carrying around. This considerable weight puts a strain on your neck, upper back and shoulders. Over an extended period of time the compensation required will eventually lead to uppr back deformity and arthritic changes. As far as the weight, it's usually measured in grams which can then be coverted to Lbs. A very large reduction would entail the removal of over 1000 grams of breast tissue per side or 2.2 lbs.Always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in cosmetic breast surgery. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits? How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. We accomodate patinets from as far away as California. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information. Look them up.Give yourself the highest percentage of a sucssesful operation. Good luck

Answer: How many LBS does my breast weigh I really do not understand the issue about the weight of your breasts if you are planning a pregnancy. The weight NOW would nort be the same with a pregnancy. Thus best to wait to see a boarded PS in Miami when you are ready for surgery...

Answer: Not as heavy as you think... You would actually be surprised to know that fat doesn't weigh very much and even very large breasts usually weigh just a few lbs each (2-4 lbs). There are actually studies that show that when women get a breast reduction, the amount of tissue removed does not correlate with the symptom reduction experienced by the patient. My point being that you symptoms which likely include pain can be significant event if your breasts only weight 3-4lbs each.
