Thank you for your question, it is difficult to provide precise advice without at least pictures. There is generally a limit of how much smaller you can be after breast reduction. Please look to see a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure and see their before and after pictures from patients similar to you.
really don't match well. So if you're dead set on fully breast feeding, be done with having children before having a reduction. As for size, my patients can choose between aggressive, normal and conservative resections. I don't promise a cup size and we accept whatever results from what they have chosen. Conservative resections are designed to simply meet the insurance company minimums.
Thank you for your question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery at some point; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Whether you choose to have this operation done now or after you complete pregnancies will be a personal decision based on many factors that you should discuss with your plastic surgeon. I would suggest that you do your due diligence and select a plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of their work helping patients similar to yourself. It will be very important for you to communicate your goals, concerns, and questions with your plastic surgeon. I would suggest that you write these down before your preoperative appointment.In my practice, I ask patients to collect "goal pictures” of breasts which they like, breasts that are too big, and breasts that are too small as well. I find that the use of pictures is more helpful than the words “natural” or "proportionate” etc., which can mean different things to different people. Discussing goals in terms of cup sizes can also be a source of miscommunication.Many of my patients choose to have enough breast tissue removed to help alleviate symptoms while retaining enough breast tissue to remain proportionate to the remainder of bare torso. Again, preoperative communication will be critical. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
In order to determine if you are a candidate for a breast reduction, you would need to be seen in person. Good luck with your decision to pursue surgery.
Without an examination, it is impossible to give you a recommendation. I would suggest you get a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon who performs breast reductions regularly. The size of your waist, shoulders all play into the final size recommedations.
Bra sizing is so variable that it isn't a scientifically valid reference point. As an H cup, you will probably need at least 1000 grams removed from each breast. Breast reduction may limit your ability to breast feed and pregnancy can certainly affect the aesthetic outcome. It is getting more difficult to obtain preauthorization for these procedures do, if it is now governed by your insurance, sometimes it is wise not to look a gift horse in the mouth, particularly when the procedure is at least $10,000 in my practice as a cosmetic case.
34 DD breasts have a volume of approximately 600 grams, which corresponds to a diameter of approximately 13 centimeters. Two breasts occupy 26 centimeters and you add 3 more centimeters for the cleavage for a total of 29 centimeters width. You compare 29 centimeters with the width of your...
Each BC/BS contract can be different in the same state and city, so the only way to find out would be to get a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. After an exam the surgeon will be able to estimate the weight that might be removed from each breast. That will then be communicated...
Thank you for your question and photos. Without the benefit of preop photos, it is difficult to comment about your result. What I see that your right areola was inset in less than a round design. Most surgeons follow their preop markings intra-operatively, but sometimes one needs to make...
