Breast reduction surgery can be life-changing, offering you physical relief and a renewed sense of confidence. If you’re considering this procedure, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing your new breast size. It’s common to wonder, “How small is too small?” — but that answer is different for everyone. At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kimmel works closely with you to customize your results, ensuring that your new size complements your body, goals, and lifestyle.
Choosing the right size isn’t simply about picking a cup size. Dr. Kimmel evaluates various factors, including your height, weight, shoulder width, ribcage shape, and overall body proportions. He also considers your personal goals — whether you want a subtle reduction for better comfort or a more dramatic change for a sleeker silhouette.
The goal of breast reduction is to create a balanced, natural look that relieves physical discomfort without feeling disproportionate. Going too small could leave you feeling out of sync with your figure, while leaving too much tissue could continue to cause the same issues you wanted to resolve. It’s all about finding the right balance for you.
During your consultation, Dr. Kimmel will take detailed measurements, listen to your concerns, and discuss realistic outcomes. You’ll explain what you hope to achieve and what you want to avoid. If you bring photos for reference, Dr. Kimmel can use them as a guide while still tailoring the procedure to your unique anatomy.
You may also choose to address asymmetry or improve breast shape at the same time. Dr. Kimmel’s extensive experience in breast surgery means you can feel confident that your results will be carefully planned and beautifully executed.
Ultimately, your new breast size should make daily activities—like exercising, finding clothes that fit, and maintaining good posture—easier and more enjoyable. Dr. Kimmel’s focus is not only on aesthetic outcomes but also on helping you achieve a better quality of life after surgery.
