27F. I’m 5’8 220ish and I’m consulting for a reduction in July and August with two different surgeons because I finally have an insurance policy that covers medically necessary reductions!! I’m working to lose a little more weight before my consult, but is it possible to reduce my size that much? I know insurance can get tricky with BMI / Schnur so I’m trying to manage my expectations of size / approval.

Answer: Reduction requirements The insurance mandated amount is based off your body surface area is 2.19m square, corresponding to a reduction requirement of 895gms from each breast. That is a lot and you have to be careful that you won't be left too small. I use a breast implant of about that size of the resection amount to give the patient an idea.

Answer: Breast Reduction from G to C? Great Question SwallowStardust! You should have no difficulty going from a G to C cup. The only thing to know is.......different women have different concepts of what a C cup looks like. And, of course, different manufacturers and styles accommodate different size breasts. Most useful is to bring your surgeon a "wish photo" of breast size you like on a similar frame woman. Attached below, a C cup result! Best of Luck Dr. Jim Romanelli

Answer: Cup size after breast reduction communicating in cup size is not very useful in either reduction surgery or augmentation. Measurements are not consistent throughout the garment industry. Maybe if you look at some before and after photos, and choose an after photo that fits your expectations, the plastic surgeon would have a better idea of the general look you'll are trying to achieve
