Thank you for sharing your question! The volume removed from a patient’s breasts during a breast reduction procedure is difficult to correlate to a cup size. For example, a shorter and more petite patient receiving a breast reduction that removed around 200-300 g from each breast would have a more noticeable reduction in cup size than a patient who is larger and heavier in weight since the heavier patient may have more body fat, a wider back, and a different distribution of fat in the breasts giving the breasts a different appearance or contour. I suggest making an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the procedure in greater detail.
