Today I had a breast reduction and lift, I was a 36D/36DD and when the doctor called me today I asked him what my new size is, and he said "you're between a mid-C to full-C" However, when I was waking up I heard the nurses say "He said she's a C, but I think she looks more like an A". He said he was taking out about 500cc's of tissue. Does this sound like I am more of an A cup or a C cup? I told him today before the surgery what size I wanted to be and I said "definitely within the C range".
Answer: Hard to say First, cup size is never a good indictor of actual breast volume as they vary so much between manufacturers. Second, at this point, you are swollen and it is impossible to assess your results. It will take between 3-6 months for your breasts to fully heal. Since you sound as if you were very clear with your surgeon, I would not be overly concerned at this point. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Breast reduction size The bra cup size depends on the type of bra, manufacturer, and how it is worn by patients... this tends to make it unreliable as an objective measure of size. The amount of breast tissue removed is normally given in grams and this gives some measure of how much is removed but not of how much is left behind ( which is what you are asking). Pictures and measurements will help to approximate this but going back to your PS to discuss size will be helpful once all your swelling has subsided.

Answer: Breast reduction of 500 gms First, each bra company makes bras a bit differently. Second, you are likely swollen and will have to wait until the swelling comes down before getting new bras, and third, without seeing you, I have no idea what size you are now.

Answer: Breast reduction Thank you for your question. The reason that your surgeon gave you a range is most likely because it is nearly impossible to predict cup size. You need to be patient and give yourself time to heal before assessing the results of your surgery. There is swelling that will have to subside and your breasts will change from how they look right now. Be sure to closely follow the instructions of your surgeon moving forward as to ensure optimal results.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
