You need to consult with a plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure. A breast reduction (mammoplasty) will reduce the actual cup size, not the girth of your chest. If you are a 40D and reduce the cup size to a C, you will then be a 40C. To achieve a 34 chest size, you may have to diet, depending on your build and size at this time.

Can shemales get augmentation mammoplasty?

Yes. That is the primary way they get their breasts. A "shemale" is a term in the sex industry for a partially feminized man who keeps and displays his male genitals. While they do often take hormones, they often get breast surgery too. In the past, men who lost bets would be allowed to get implants, so if ordinary guys can find a doctor willing to do breast enlargement on them, then you know members of the adult entertainment industry can pull strings to get someone implants if need be.


Does Tricare cover reduction mammoplasty due to potentially fatal gigantomastia?

It is possible insurance will cover the procedure if the physician can document that a reduction or mastectomy are necessary to improve the comfort of the patient. Gigantomastia however is not a life-threatening condition; it can be contributory to headaches and backaches, and in extreme cases ulcers, and while it is potentially painful, it is not potentially fatal. Treatment typically consists of ice therapy, physical therapy, controlled diet, and/or hormone or steroid treatments. While surgery is performed to alleviate symptoms, only a mastectomy can eliminate the condition completely.
