I am currently a 34G. I want to have a breast reduction, but I am not sure what cup size I should aim for so it remains proportional to my frame. My breasts are set very high, which is part of the reason they are now pendulous. I don't want to go too big for fear of suffocating myself, but I am not a small person, so I do not want to go too small. I am 5'5, and 165 pounds. I'm thinking maybe a C? Also, I am trying to decide on plastic surgeons, but I want as many opinions as possible.

Answer: Breast reduction and how to choose size Most of my breast reductions have one complaint after surgery, they all wish they had come to surgery sooner. I believe that means most women do not go into this lightly, they think about it long and hard before they even start making inquiries. Looking at your pictures and given the width of your breast, I think it would be difficult to get you down to a B cup and keep a pretty breast shape. That being said, I believe the decision on what cup should be your goal is a very personal choice. Given your body frame you would look great at a C, D or even DD,it depends on your personal aesthetic and your goals. My job as a surgeon is to tell you what cup size I can attain and give you an attractive breast. It's also my job to tell you that the smaller you go, the greater the likelihood your breast will stay perky in the long run. It is not my job to ultimately choose your size. I ask patients to bring me a bra they would like to fit into, and bring me pictures of looks they like. That let's me get as close possible to inside your head and get you the look you desire. If your goal is to wear triangle cup bathing suits, then you probably don't want a big D. If your wear a lot of lose fitting clothing, a larger breast can make you look thick and hide your waist. If you wear tight clothing then you will show off your waist size no matter how large your breast. See a plastic surgeon who is board certified with a special interest in breast. My partner and I are just down the road in Nashville, check out our website and if you like what we do, call for an appointment. You live in an area that actually has a great many really good plastic surgeons within close driving distance. Choose someone well trained that you feel comfortable communicating with. Best of luck!

Answer: 34G bra, 5'5", 165 breast reduction? Your breasts are pendulous, probably feel heavy and yes, a breast reduction will reduce the size and reshape the breasts. You want to know about minimal scar techniques, not all plastic surgeons do this. What you don't want is a flat breast, too small with scars in the cleavage between the breasts. The breasts should ALWAYS be proportional to your body, you can decide if you want them a little larger or a little smaller. I have posted some pictures of similar women on real self.
