What is the smallest possible cup size for a breast reduction, given my size and type of breasts? (Photo)

Asked By:nyc_reduction_removal in New York, NY

I have currently have 38GG (Freya brand sizing) breasts. I am 31, 5'-5" and 215 lbs. When I've weighed less, for example 180 lbs about 3.5 years ago, my bra size was perhaps only a cup or two smaller. I am interested getting a breast reduction. However, I've heard vaguely there are limits to how much reduction can be achieved. Ideally, I would love to have essentially no or fairly small breasts I don't know if anything like that is possible.
