What size will I be if I get 500 grams out of each breast?

Hi from Istanbul!Thank you for your question.Removing nearly 500grams of tissue may create a A cup in a tiny person and it can be a D cup if you have a wide chest and gigantomasti like DD or bigger. So it depends on your existing breast volume and cup size to tell you what your size will be.Best Luck!

After a breast reduction where 500 grams are removed from each breast, the cup size will vary depending on several factors, such as your breast tissue composition, skin elasticity, and chest and breast shape and width. According to some data, about 100 grams of tissue removed corresponds to a one-cup size reduction, so with 500 grams removed from each breast, you might expect to go down around five cup sizes. For example, starting from a 32H, you could end up at a 32C or 32D. However, it's important to note that cup size is not a scientific measurement—it is a relative measurement that varies depending on the brand and style of the bra. Bra sizing is not standardized across all manufacturers, so a 32D from one brand may fit differently than a 32D from another.
Rather than focusing solely on cup size, it’s helpful to discuss with your surgeon the specific look and feel you're hoping to achieve, ensuring your expectations align with the surgical outcome.

Thanks for your question! This is a diffcult question to answer. Your breast size is often decided by your breast width so even with a 500 gram reduction, it's hard to give an exact answer. I wouldn't worry about the cup size. I'd focus on the look you are going for and make sure you articulate that to your surgeon. Good luck!
