I am a 38 F. My desire is a B cup. I know my body best. Insurance requires 600-700 grams removed from each breast. Surgeon will comfortably remove 400 grams and no more. Could 600 grams be achieved per breast? How many grams are there going from an F to a B? My beliefs are that this is realistic. Please advise. Thank you.

Answer: Breast reduction and insurance The problem with breast reduction is that insurance companies "require" a certain amount that needs to be removed. However, the issue with this is that the more tissue thats removed, the more chance you have of complication such as nipple necrosis and loss of sensation.I would go by what you PS advised.Sometimes its better to pay for the procedure than to deal with the long-term consequences of a complication.The best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Breast reduction and cup size I generally do not discuss cup size with patients, as cup size means different things to every person. Rather, one of the goals of surgery should be to remove as much breast tissue as possible to relieve your symptoms while at the same time maintaining a size of your breasts that is still proportionate to your body frame. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help you to understand what your options are. Best wishes.
