Breast Implants Already DD Does Tissue Need to Be Removed?

Question viewed 80 times
Tags: loose skin

I am already a natural 34DD. Since having my two children, the skin on my breasts is loose. They are not as hard as they used to be. However, my breasts do not sag, and I would not consider a breast lift with that scar. Would a breast augmentation fill the skin out again? Would some tissue have to be removed from my natural breast in order to place an implant? Thanks.

Heading for a breast lift

It is rare for a DD patient not to sag, either now or later.  Just putting in an implant will not do the trick and save you from needing a lift at some point.  Unless you want to be larger, skip the implant and wear good support always and see how you evolve over the years.  A big (implanted) droopy breast is not a good look, very matronly.

34 DD and loose skin

If you have loose skin with 34DD and do not want scars at all, then there is really nothing to offer. An implant can be put in to  make them larger( scar) but they will way them down more and will probably need a lift( scar).

If your breasts do not sag and you do not mind being larger, no tissue needs to be removed.

If your breasts do not sag and you do not mind being larger, no tissue needs to be removed. However, it is more likely that you will sag with time and may requiire a lift at a later  date.
