Is Breast lift for cup size A breasts worth it?

Hi, I am a size A and nursed 2 children. My breasts did shrink but during pregnancy and nursing, they grew larger than a DD.

Now my size A breasts are no longer firm and the left over fatty tissue sort of was re-distributed and the extra skin falls out of my size A bras and my nipples looked stretched out. (Size B bras are two big on me and I still measure at an A).

I really don't want larger breasts or ANY kind of augmentation. (I like my small breasts) I want my firm size A's back.

A: A Mastopexy will help

Christopher L. Hess, MD

By all means you may get a mastopexy or lift.  There are many way to perform this surgery.  I understand that you don't want larger breasts but after the mastopexy they will be smaller than they are now because the skin will be removed.  If that's okay then go ahead with it.

A: Difficult parameters

Without a breast aug, there will be no way to get uplift. However, the aug will increase the size of the breasts, and requires foreign material.

 Dear Nelliefar A breastlift is always an option.  Lifting tends to decrease the size of the breast.  A periareolar lift can be done with a shortening of the nipple.  Another option is that you can do a small amount of fat grafting to add volume and shape to the breast. You would have to... more

Brent Moelleken, MD

A breast lift can give dramatic results in women with small breasts. In some patients it can be life changing, especially for women with 'snoopy' or tuberous breasts. Many women are OK with their breast volume or don't want to deal with implants; for them, a lift alone might be perfect.
