I saw my surgeon recently for the first time and was surprised that he said he couldn't get me to a C cup (I'm an F/EE with one breast bigger than the other). He recommended about 550 removal from my larger breast and around 450 from my other breast (about 1kg). He also couldn't promise what cup size I would end up with. Just wondering if the pain, costs, and down time is worth it to go from F/EE to D cup? Has anyone felt better with this reduction?
Answer: Limitations of breast reduction A breast can be made as small as you want it to be. The main limitation however is the ability to safely keep the relocated nipple alive. In extreme cases it is possible to remove the nipple as a graft and the breast can be made any size and the nipple is sutured back on. This is generally reserved for very large droopy breast reductions however. The main drawback of this is that the nipple has no feeling and breast feeding is not possible. It is more common to reduce the breast to a size that alleviates your symptoms related to their heaviness, gives a nice proportional size and shape and is safe for nipple survival. It is likely that a reduction of around 450-500g per side for you may do this.

Answer: Breast Reduction Hi,It is possible to reduce form a F cup to a cup, and it will depend at times on the technique used. it is also important to remember that if you " top heavy" then the reduction performed needs to be in proportion to the rest of your frame in the sense that a " fuller" frame would need a " fuller " bust to look in proportion.To offer a full opinion as the best option though a surgeon would need a full examination, and seeking a second opinion may be of benefit in yuor case.All the bestJeremy Hunt

Answer: #breastreduction Hi PicolaEvery surgeon will tell you that every bra size is different so it is not a good gauge of the final size. Unfortunately it is the thing that patients focus on the most. I tell my patients that the smallest they can go safely is about 40% of the size which seems about reasonable for you. To go smaller compromises the final outcome with respect to shape and complications.CheersDamien
