Breast Reduction, Lift and Implants to Get C Cups from DD Breasts?

A breast reduction will reduce DD breasts to perky lifted C cup breasts.  A breast lift would be included. Insurance would cover many of these.  Implants are not mandatory, and a reduction by itself would certainly be lower cost than a reduction followed by a lift. 

It is actually more common than you think to have a breast reduction/lift, then have a breast augmentation 6 months later.  The results with this approach are great.  It allows you do do a very nice lift/reduction operation, repositioning the nipple and reshaping the breast, then allow everything to heal.  After the breast is reshaped you can get the extra upper pole fullness you want with an implant.

With all of the talk of implants, reductions and lifts it can be a little confusing sometimes to figure out what you really need.  I usually tell patients that they want to be close (within 10-15 lbs) to their goal weight before undergoing surgery unless they really need to do surgery for medical reasons.  The reason is weight loss more than 10-15 lbs increases the risks of losing some of the benefit of your other surgeries.  I usually tell patients that if they like the size of their breasts in a good supportive bra that they don't need an implant they only need a lift.  If you are bothered with chronic neck and back pain then you may want to consider a breast reduction which can help with many of these symptoms. 
In many cases the breast reduction can be covered by insurance but if your policy does not cover it then there is a special reduction in cost for out of pocket expenses.  In our area the out of pocket cost runs between 5-8k depending on the exact procedures being performed.  Some patient really just need a breast lift which is a little less costly and some need some more extensive procedures.  The average is around 6.5k for many patients with a standard reduction.  This includes all the hospital and surgeons fees. We have board certified anesthesiologists and surgeons operating in a major hospital within a small community that has excellent ratings. The link I have provided has some very informative videos that can help you decide if this is the right time for you to consider breast reduction. Best of luck on your journey

This is a great question, and one that many patients ask me during their consultations. Many women seeking out a breast reduction want to make sure that after the surgery their breasts are full and perky. A breast reduction surgery does include a lift so your breasts should be higher and perkier than before surgery. Most breast reduction patients also have a lot of breast tissue, so after the surgery their natural breast tissue will give them full breasts. For some patients I recommend just a reduction, as they have enough tissue to create full breasts. It is also possible to have implants put in in the future if you want more volume. I would need to examine you in person to determine which course of action is best for you. Good luck!

It is possible to have all three procedures, a
breast reduction, lift, and implant, performed in a single surgery. However,
considering you are a size DD and have a fair amount of breast tissue, you may
want to think about having just the breast and reduction lift performed first.
You may find that you are completely satisfied without the implants, or may
find that you want the implants placed at a later time to give your breasts a
rounder, fuller look. 

A #mastopexy or breast lift operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used for breasts which sag or droop (ptosis). #Sagging of the breasts may occur with normal development for some women, or as part of the aging process. Pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss are other conditions which increase breast ptosis. Some patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an implant is used at the time of mastopexy. The procedure can also be combined with a minor breast reduction to reduce the breast width if desired. The surgery will create an elevated, more youthful breast contour. Also, the procedure will create nipple and #areolae of the desired size and at the correct height.The costs for #breast surgery will vary by the Surgeon's expertise and experience; cost for anaesthesia and operating facility; and the geographic location you have the procedure. Estimates can be obtained here on RealSelf , PlasticSurgery.org or Surgery.orgA #BreastReduction procedure is commonly covered by #insurance though insurance criteria are becoming more and more restrictive. Some practices do not accept insurance. However, ask the staff to assist you in obtaining pre-authorization so that you can attempt to be #reimbursed for out of pocket #expenses.
