My Tear Drop Augmentation Mastopexy has brought many woman through my doors to have exactly what you are asking for.

First, they have to wait three months until the breast tissue has stopped shrinking.

Second the technique involves only an incision around the areola.

Third, volume is improved by reshaping and lifting the breast. Only after utilizing that volume will we consider an implant to create the desired final volume.

The goal is to maximize the patients own tissue and minimize the size of the implant.

A: Breast lift after pregnancy

You want to wait at least 6 months to a year fater delivering before you should undego any  kind of breast lift or augmentation.  This is assuming that you are not breast feeding. You want to evaluate the breasts when they are no longer engorged and your weight is back to baseline.
