At my consultation the Dr said she'd remove about 190-200cc. I wear a 32DDD (5'7 140lb) and I feel like that would leave me still too big. The Dr says I would end up about a small C. She says I have mostly fatty tissue instead of breast tissue and they are light I really want to go as small as possible, no overhang or skin to skin contact. Do you think only 200cc removal is enough?
Answer: Breasts You did not post photos and many women do not actually wear the appropriate sized bra, so I cannot say. Your surgeon has seen you and knows what is best.

Answer: Tissue removal Without photos or an exam it is difficult to say if 200g will help you to achieve your desired size. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Typically 200g will reduce you approximately two cup sizes.

Answer: Would removing 200 CC from a DDD cup be enough to give me my desired results? Hi, Thank you for the question. Based on what you are describing, it does sound that you have large/heavy breasts causing physical symptoms, and breast reduction may be an option for you. However, it is difficult to tell without seeing the photos and/or in person consultation. Schnur Sliding Scale is a scale used by many insurance companies as a guideline for how much breast tissue should be removed in order to improve your physical symptoms. The goal of breast reduction surgery it to make the breasts smaller and lifted, but also proportionate with the rest of your body. It is reasonable to to expect full C/small D cup breast size after the breast reduction surgery. I suggest that you discuss your questions and concerns with your Plastic Surgeon for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast reduction size In general, if patients want to go as small as possible often more than 200cc is removed if one is starting as a “DDD” cup. As plastic surgeons, we often don’t’ guarantee a cup size and the amount removed is just estimated at consultation. During surgery, we do weigh the amount of breast tissue removed. During consultation, I have patients review my before and after photos to help access their desired breast size.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 32, each 100 grams of tissue removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. 200 grams removed would take you down to a D not a small C. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
