Surgeon wants to move what she thinks would be the right amount, I asked her to remove what insurance says is necessary (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It’s important to have an open and clear conversation with your surgeon about your preference to maintain a D cup. Let her know that while pain relief is a priority, you’re also concerned about ending up too small. While breast size isn’t guaranteed after reduction, your surgeon should work to find a balance between achieving pain relief and keeping you within the range of your desired cup size. If your surgeon is unwilling to consider your input and insists on reducing your breasts to a size that you’re not comfortable with, you may want to consider consulting with another surgeon.

Thanks for your question! I do think it is important to be on the same page as your surgeon. That's how you end up happy - by expectations being set and then met. I would suggest another opinion. Good luck!

Hi Diligent651426
When looking for a plastic surgeon, it's important that the patient and surgeon are on the same page about the patient's aesthetic goals. In my practice, I have patients print out breast reduction before and after photos of what their ideal breast size is because a "D" cup bra varies from store to store.
If your desire is a fuller look postop, find a plastic surgeon who understands this and thinks it is possible to do for you. best of luck to you
