How much weight do you lose going from a DD to a C cup on average?

Sounds like the average breast reduction. Most insurance companies require around 500 grams be removed per side, which is about 1 pound per side. But this can very by insurance company, the patient's size and desires, and how much the surgeon feels is appropriate to remove. Consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Good luck!

Impossible question to answer with any degree of accuracy. Cup sizes are much too subjective of a “parameter” to use for communication purposes.Before undergoing the breast reduction procedure it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. Most patients wish to achieve a enough of a reduction to help with their symptoms while remaining proportionate with the remainder of their torso. With the goal of improving communication with my patients I find the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “B or C cup” means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Best wishes.
