I'm a 36DD. I want to lift my boobs and have implants. Which procedure is the best for me? (Photo)

Your optimal Breast Surgery is definitely a Breast Lift, but a reduction is also recommended in your case in order to avoid future back problems from the weight of your breasts. The 36C size that you mention, in my opinion, is actually a good end-volume. Since the areolas are reduced during most breast lifts and the distance that your nipples have to travel upward (especially the right one) is considerable, you may even need a special technique called the Free nipple graft technique. This technique is reserved for patients whose nipples are at a distance of about 30 centimeters from the collar bone, straight down. A very experienced surgeon must perform this surgery as your case is not the most common and requires special techniques.

The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by
different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging.
To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a
mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift
restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging
breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her
youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more
comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping
the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward
position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast
contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast
lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually
the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast
tissue for
the first 3 to 4 months! 

Since you have plenty of your own tissue, the most sensible approach would be to do a lift without an implant.  That way, there are no worries about future implant-related surgery, leakage or hardening.All the best,
