How big do breasts need to be for reduction?

The difficulty in obtaining accurate and reproducible measurements of the female breast arises from its diversity of size and shape. The lack of a standardized protocol for measurement of the breast has made it difficult to assess post-operative results objectively. A method that allows for reliable estimation of breast size would be beneficial in procedures such as reduction mammoplasty.

Historically, breast volume has been measured using a number of techniques. These include water displacement, casting, biostereometric analysis using wide-angle stereometric cameras, and direct measurement using various devices, recently three-dimensional imaging has been used to calculate breast volume. However, none of the methods has attracted enough popularity for routine use in a clinical setting.

The most common method of describing breast size, however, relies on the conventional brassiere sizing system. It has the advantage of being easily obtainable and readily understood by patients. The shortcomings of this system are well documented.

    Hi I had this question it might seem unnatural to ask but please allow me to write it down anyway… can you tell me the Lowest size of breast reduction? is there a norm?

    • Iranian Surgery Adviser says:

      Hello, this is not to be answered exactly. Actually, the minimum size for breast reduction is very proportional. Usually, 2-3kg of breast tissue is often removed in those with bigger breasts, and in reduction cases, which may mean a size reduction from a cup G to a DD, instead of a B or C. You have to keep in mind that a breast reduction not only will make your breasts more smallish, but they will be more delicate, healthier, and more vibrant regardless of the resulting cup size.

    I want to know how much I can make my breasts smaller?

    • Iranian Surgery Adviser says:

      Hello. Commonly, the reduction in breast size is between one and two cups. However, if a woman has large breasts so that the feeling of pressure in the neck and discomfort troubles her, surgeons can reduce her breast size by several cups. The minimum size for breast reduction is determined based on the location of the nipple. As long as the height of the nipple is close to the height of the inframammary fold, the breast can be reduced.

    I did the breast implant surgery two months ago. I’m satisfied with the results but I still feel severe pain in my right breast. What is the reason? What should I do?

    • Iranian Surgery Adviser says:

      Hello
      Thank you for contacting us

      We are very happy to hear you are satisfied with the results. By your own request, the implants were placed in between the chest muscle and breast tissue. Since you used to work out a lot before the breast reduction surgery, right now the new implants are putting pressure on your muscles. This is normal and your recovery period will be longer than other patients. Please keep regularly updating us about your status and stay in contact with your assigned medical consultant online.

      Sincerely
