I'm waiting for insurance authorization for a breast reduction, but I'm worried about being too small after the required 400 grams are removed.
Answer: I'm currently 34E. What size would I be if 400 grams are removed from each breast? Dr thinks they're currently 800 grams Hello, thank you for your question. Very large breasts have the natural tendency to sag or hang low, so breast reduction surgery will lift them up and help them look perkier under tight clothing. The gram amount is dependent upon the density of the breast tissue and the volume removed. No direct correlation exists with cup sizes.

Answer: Breast reduction of 400 grams Thankyou for your question. It is difficulty to predict the exact change in size based on the amount of fat removed without knowing your height and weight and also without seeing if you have been using the correct bra size. It is usual to quote 100 t0 125 grams per cup size change for an average sized woman who is wearing a bra of proper size. Please find an experienced Board certified plastic Surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 34, each 100 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. 400 grams removed from each breast would take you down 4 cup sizes and would take you to an A, which is too small. Insurance companies usually require a minimum of 500 grams per breast so you may not qualify for insurance approval. The technique I recommend is 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. This technique is not covered by insurance.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
