A: Breast Augmentation, breast lifting, fat grafting to the breasts

By Trevor M. Born, MD - Toronto Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question! A breast lift can restore some of the shape of your breasts but you will notice that the breasts appear to be smaller and your bra size may go down. You can add volume to the breast with your own fat - using micro fat grafting. The fat is injected in small amounts into... more

Most women will experience changes in both the size and shape of their breasts after pregnancy.

Basically, if you need a lift, you will remain close to the same size, just with the extra loose skin removed. The properly done lift gives you a higher nipple position and a forward conical projecting breast so they look larger than before even though they don't have anything extra added to them.

If you look good in a bra, it might be possible to do a lift without also using an implant to restore volume. The more you lift and shape, the smaller the breast becomes volume-wise since the breast tissue gets compacted and firmer. Your surgeon can often use tape to "perform" a simulation of the... more

A: Lift without breast implants for breast volume after babies?

By Lauren Greenberg, MD - San Francisco Plastic Surgeon

You don't need an implant with a lift for shape. Breast lifts will reshape, lift, and firm what tissue you have. But what volume do you still have? Put on a tight jog bra. When you lift the breast you compact what tissue you have, so your breast volume looks like it does in a minimizer or jog bra... more
