I am 25 5'3" and 190 pounds with 38I breasts just heard back that my insurance requires 620 g to be removed. I'm not a small girl and still want to look curvy. My doctor will not tell me what size but mentioned a small C even a large B. I do not want to have the surgery if my breast will be reduced 7 cup sizes. Second options??? My ideal would be a D or DD.

Answer: Breast Reduction Thank you for sharing your photos. When you go in for a consult with the plastic surgeon you will have some measurements taken of the breasts as well as photos taken. Your height, weight, and BMI will be obtained to be provided to the insurance company along with a letter for review. Most insurance companies will determine the amount of breast tissue that is required to be removed once they have this information. Once you meet with the plastic surgeon he/she will be able to discuss the post-operative size that you will be. Best of luck to you !

Answer: 38I to a D at least? You appear to be an ideal candidate for a breast reduction and your desire to be reduced down to around "D" cup size is quite reasonable. Without an examination it is difficult to determine approximately how much tissue would need to be removed in order to obtain this relative outcome. It is possible that removing more than what your insurance company requires for coverage will still allow you to obtain the "D" cup size that you want.You should schedule some additional consultations with reputable board certified plastic surgeons and see if the above can be accomplished for you.Good luck!Steven Turkeltaub, MD
