Mini Breast Lift Revision w/o Implant Exchange?

I am 5"7 and weigh 160 lbs. I was a full c and had a lift and implants 4years ago. I am now a 38 DD. I feel that my breasts are heavy and feel i need another lift, my breasts seem to weigh more at the bottom. (not extremly). Can I get a mini lift and keep the same implants or do I have to get smaller ones?

Repeat breast lifts

Yes, you can redo the lift plus a reduction and leace the implants alone.  You need at lease some reduction from your current size to take weight off and help the lift last.
