I am 35 years old, 133 pounds, 5'6" and I am currently a 36DDD. I am ready to go through with reduction surgery after years of back, neck and shoulder pain but I am wondering about the size I should go down to......I'm not exactly small framed, more average to wide shouldered and my feeling is a D cup would be the most flattering, but a lot of people have told me I should go smaller. I'm afraid to go too small, any advice on this? I attached pictures to give you an idea of my size. Thanks!!

Answer: Proportion The best way to determine your final size is to review hundreds of before and after photos with your plastic surgeon and choose several of the ones that you like the most. Best of luck.

Answer: For breast reduction, what is the best size to go to from a current 36DDD? Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Based on your description, it sounds like you may be an excellent candidate for the procedure. In my practice, I ask patients to use as many “visual aids”, such as goal photographs, during the communication process. Avoid the use of subjective terms; for example, "C or D cup”, “too small" or "proportionate"… these terms can be confusing, since they may mean different things to different people. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast reduction surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
