Will a Breast Lift Make my Breasts Look Smaller, or Larger?

Hi there, Almost two years ago after 3 back to back pregnancies i had my 275cc saline implants replaced with 375cc HP silicone. At the time I was afraid of the anchor scar so I did a donut lift instead. I'm now considering going back for the lift but I'm concerned my breasts will end up looking smaller. Im a 34DD in VS brand bras...Will I need a larger implant with the lift to keep my large size? Thank you:)

A: Breast lift and breast size

Breast lifts generally make the breast look better in form but there may be a slight decrease in size. However in your case because most of your breast is implant, these really do not compress so you will still be the same size. Do not go bigger because the recurrence of drooping will increase.

Expertise in Breast Asymmetry?

I lost a considerable amount of weight naturally and have breast asymmetry (A & B cup). I have been told that I need some form of a mastopexy (from crescent to benelli to lollipop). I have consulted with several PSs, but haven't found one that I have full confidence in. I am thus seeking two things: (1) some sort of uniformity in diagnosis/recommendation, and (2) an expert in breast asymmetry who is invested in their results and the Hippocratic Oath. I am willing to travel.

A: Treatment of breast asymmetry

Breasts can be asymmetric for a variety of reasons, skin differences, nipple position, volume differences, muscle and bone differences, etc. The first thing that a plastic surgeon needs to do is document the differences and their causes.

The next step is to determine the various options for correcting the differences. In this consideration one must also consider the downsides associated with the corrections and really get into the patient's motivations and what the patient is willing to trade off for better symmetry. 

One of the reasons you are getting different answers is because there are many ways to achieve symmetry in the breasts even when there is only one cause. For example, if the problem is more skin on one side vs the other, you could correct this with adding volume or reducing skin.  

The best thing to do is find a plastic surgeon who can go through all of this with you and then offer several different options. Personally, I would recommend breast augmentation with a 6 month follow up to determine if a lift of some sort is warranted or desired by the patient.

Premature Sagging at Age 16?

HI, so im 16yrs old and im pretty chubby i have slightly large breast ,and i started growing at a early age, and i have noticed my breast were sagging around 15 is there any way i can reverse the process or is implants(later) a better answer, my breast sagging is GRADE 2 according to the chart

A: Preventing sagging Breasts

There is no known way to prevent sagging breasts that has been scientifically proven BUT, it would make sense that if you wore a bra at all times when gravity was at work pulling the breasts down, you should be able to minimize the effects that gravity contributes to the sagging. Of the other two variable, breast size can be changed through breast reduction but skin quality cannot be changed.
