Breast lift should not significantly alter breast size

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Does a breast lift always result in dramatically smaller breasts?

I went in for an uplift on my size 36 g breast and have come out a 36 D, i am traumatised by the whole operation and very upset at being so small.

I knew he would have to reduce them but not by 3 cup sizes, is this normal? do they have to always make your breast much smaller to achieve this?

In general, the breasts do not have to be made smaller when undergoing a breast lift.  The only thing that has to be removed is the loose skin and maybe a small amount (a few grams) of breast tissue to allow proper molding of the tissue. This should not change your cup size significantly. On the other hand, a breast reduction can be performed at the same time as a breast lift if desired.
