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: 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: 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.

Answer: Breast reduction It would be difficult to estimate how much will be removed without seeing photographs and performing an examination. As you said, a fatty breast would weigh less than breast tissue. What makes it more difficult is that bra cup size can vary significantly among manufacturers. Keep in mind, there are limitations to the amount that can be removed during breast reduction if you want to maintain the sensation and blood flow to the nipple. You would also want breasts that are in proportion and harmony to your body. With those considerations, a standard goal cup size after breast reduction is around a C cup. Based on your description alone (no photographs or exam), 200 cc would likely not bring you from a DDD cup to a C cup breast size.
