Breast lift for uneven breasts after breast feeding, weight loss?

I'm thinking of getting a breast lift since I have lost 55 lbs. and breastfed 4 kids. My breasts have gone from a 40H to 34C and I don't want any implant. When I put a bra on and take it off, the skin on my breasts is wrinkled. One of my breasts is slightly bigger than the other, so my nipples are not aligned--one points upwards. What benifits would I get from a breast lift? Would they be firmer, younger looking, and perkier? Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for your question. A breast lift can raise and make your breast more firm resulting in a more youthful breast contour.

A breast lift would be a good procedure for you from the way you describe the appearance of your breasts. However, you should be fully aware of the associated scars and the risks of the procedure. You should see a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this technique.

Yes it can do all that but it does have limits and you have to be realistic.  I will not firm up your breasts to the point of a 20 year old person but it will lift the tissue, give you more upper pole, tighten the skin and even up the areola.

Provided that you have enough breast tissue and not just skin, a breast lift can raise you nipples, tighten your skin envelope and contour breast tissue to give it a more youthful appearance.

Breast lift can give you rounder firmer and more symmetric results. If one breast is larger it can be reduced to match the other side. The only problem is that often there is still lack of adequate volume on the upper pole of the breasts and a small breast implant can help achieve a better results.

A: Mastopexy or breast lift surgery will grant your wish

George Marosan, MD

A breast lift will shorten the vertical length of the breasts, makes them rounder and fuller on top, aligns the nipples and often reduces the arealoe (the pigmented tissue around the nipples). I do my breast lifts without removing any tissues, but skin. I refer you to my web site for many examples of short... more

A: Breast lift is very effective after weight loss

Peter E. Johnson, MD

After significant weight loss the breast too can deflate and become long and ribbon like. The nipple as a result is often dependent and well below the fold under the breast. Breast lift or mastopexy is very effective at raising the nipple to a front and center position above the fold, shaping the breast as the... more

A: Sounds like you need a lift

Richard P. Rand, MD

What you are describing is what a mastopexy, or breast lift, is designed to fix.  This is a sculpting operation and can be done in some cases without an implant if you have enough tissue to work with.  Check the photos on the web site below and you can see many examples without implants and with... more

The trade-off with weight loss and breast-feeding is often the loss of volume in the breasts as you have experienced. If you can achieve a desirable size and shape in a bra, you might not require an implant. A lift will do a similar thing as a bra. Your breasts can certainly become more perky and symmetric. As... more
