Breast Reduction – What Size Do You Want To Be?

Posted on April 6, 2015

LG - Blog 1When women come in for a breast reduction, the first question is “what is your current breast size?” The next question is “What size do you want to be?”

Answers I hear frequently.

When your breasts are large, I can understand why some of you want them gone. I get it. You are tired of them.  They have kept you from jogging; you can’t find tops which fit; people talk to your chest; and you have no idea what wearing a sundress would be like. You may think women who want their breasts larger are nuts.

But you need to consider how small do you really want to go.

For patients who are undecided, I tend to aim for a C/D border.  For those who want to stay on the fuller side, I am for DD.  Usually an A or B cup is not an option for my droopy patients.  If you aren’t droopy though, it could be possible but may not be recommended.    I will show you photos, and many of my patients are surprised at what a 34D really looks like.  (They think it is a B cup because it s narrower, perky, and “small.”)

When I meet with you I will review all the pros and cons of size.
