Breast reduction surgery isn’t just about making your breasts smaller; it’s about creating balance, comfort, and confidence. One of the most important steps in the process is determining your new breast size. Skilled plastic surgeons use a combination of medical expertise, artistic judgment, and your personal goals to ensure your results are both functional and beautiful.
Dr. Andrew Trussler, a board-certified plastic surgeon, combines advanced training and artistic precision to help patients achieve balanced, natural-looking results in breast reduction surgery. Known for his emphasis on patient safety and honest guidance, Dr. Trussler draws on his award-winning expertise and years of teaching experience to ensure every procedure enhances both comfort and confidence.
Understanding Your Goals
Before taking any measurements, your surgeon will discuss what you hope to achieve. Some women want to reduce discomfort caused by bigger breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, while others seek a more proportionate figure that fits their frame and lifestyle. Communicating your expectations clearly helps your surgeon understand the right balance between size reduction and natural body harmony.
Evaluating Body Proportions
Surgeons consider several physical factors when determining your new breast size. These include your:
- Height
- Weight
- Chest width
- Shoulder width
- Overall body shape
The goal is to have a breast size that complements your frame rather than overwhelms it. For example, a reduction that’s ideal for someone petite may not suit someone taller with broader shoulders.
Measurements and Cup Size
While many patients think in terms of cup size, surgeons use precise measurements instead. They assess:
- Breast volume
- Skin elasticity
- Nipple position
- Distance between key anatomical points
This data helps design a reduction plan that not only achieves the desired size but also improves breast shape and symmetry.
Creating Natural, Balanced Results
Your surgeon’s artistic eye plays a major role in achieving proportionate results. By blending medical precision with aesthetic sense, they ensure your breasts fit naturally with your body’s contours. The goal isn’t simply to make your breasts smaller; it’s to help you feel lighter, more comfortable, and more confident in your body.
