Is a FNG the only way to remove the majority of the weight of my breasts? (photo)

What?! That doesn’t make a lot of sense. You don’t need a free nipple graft! You can undergo a regular breast reduction and reduce your breast to a B or C cup. You have a lot of breast tissue on the outside of your breast that can be removed and I would leave more tissue on the inside aspect of your breast to preserve your cleavage.
For me I don’t go by cup size but if someone wants to be very small what I do is to try and make them as small as I can but still preserve enough breast tissue so as to maintain a pretty shape. But I would not recommend a free nipple graft as they do not look very good at all and you lose all projection of the nipple and the scaring is not typically very good.

You
are an excellent candidate for 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 and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  I would never recommend a free nipple graft.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

HI,Based on your pictures you should be able to get to a C cup without free nipple grafting. I would strongly recommend seeing another surgeon in consultation and making sure that you are fully comfortable with whoever performs the operation. I also strongly advise against free nipple grafting. It is only reserved for the largest reductions and you fall well below that criteria.Regards,Daniel A. Medalie MD
