Full and Perky Breasts After Breast Reduction?

December 8, 2009
Asked By:scruffy in Portland

I am going to have a breast reduction and want them to look full or perky. I am wondering if during a breast reduction, anything can be done to maintain or increase fullness post surgery.I have had two children and nursed both so now have very large breasts. I am afraid that after a breast reduction I will have smaller breast but that they will look less full. Also I am overweight and am concerned about the look of my breasts after the reduction, if I lose more weight.
