How much would 500cc look removed from me?

Question

I’m 22 with two children who I’ve breastfed. I’m looking to get a reduction but I’m afraid they will take away to much. The surgery needs 500cc to be removed to be covered at the moment I’m curently a 36DDD/F my breast still don’t fit in this bra comfortably they still have overfill, I would like to have a breast reduction but required to remove 500cc. I would like to be an around 34C is this achievable with removing 500cc or will that be too much?

At size 36 each 200 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change.  You would go down 2 1/2 cup sizes and would be a 36 C.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question
It really depends on how much extra skin you have and how wide your breasts are.  Generlaly speaking, you weill be about 3 cup sizes smaller when removing 500 g and normally with very large and pendulous breasts, 500 g achieves the goal that the patient is looking for.  Unfortunately, it is hard for me to prcisely comment on your case without seeing you and examing you.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An exam is needed to give you an idea of what you could expect in terms of results after removal of 500g of tissue.  You would be reduced several cup sizes.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

With 500 cc's removed, you will probably go down about 2.5 cups in size. You may become a D cup.  Perhaps more can be removed.

I think these are questions you need to ask your plastic surgeon. If you haven’t chosen one yet then I suggest you having a few in person consultations with providers in your community.
500 g of tissue per side is fairly typical.
You can look at before and after pictures of typical breast reductions to get an idea. Look for patience, whose characteristic are similar to your own in the before pictures.
Best,
