I would like to go as small as a DD. I’ve had big boobs since 4th grade and all the fun stuff that goes with them. Severe back and shoulder pain to the point where I can’t get up after work. They also limit what I do for a job and at work. When I went in for a consultation she said I’d probably lose my nipples and she wants to go lower. I’m worried about going too small and still being me.

Answer: Breast reduction sizing I would encourage you to consider getting another opinion if you were not comfortable with your first surgeons thoughts. There are a lot of different techniques that can be done that preserve the nipple. However, all large volume reductions have a chance of loss of sensation. Many patients are still C to DD after reduction when they start with a large volume when an inferior pedicle technique is performed. Also, some insurance companies may require more attempts at conservative measures such as physical therapy or weight loss before granting approval for surgery. I usually recommend that patients are non smoking for 3 months and that they have their BMI at 35 or less to be the safest candidates for surgery with the lowest chances for complications such as loss of a nipple. If you are not really convinced that now is the right time and it is not what you really want then I would consider waiting until you are really ready for surgery. Best of luck on your journey.

Answer: Breast reduction: How small should I go? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your description, you seem to be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. “Official” recommendations of course would necessitate in-person consultation.

Answer: 19 year old desires breast reduction You have breasts far out of proportion to your frame and need an breast reduction. Quality of everyday life improves so much for breast reduction patients! Perhaps get a second opinion prior to moving forward. Your breasts should be in proportion to the rest of your body. See a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
