It will be 2 years since my breast augmentation in August and I had 450ccs put into each breast under the muscle. Incision through inframmamary fold but wanted it done through aerola to also decrease aerola size. Doc didnt think it was necessary. I wanted a full Ccup & ended up with a large Dcup. i'm 5'7 and weigh 125lbs. No I am pregnant again with my 3rd child & definetly still want my aerolas smaller. Will that procedure lift my breast a little? Nothing drastic just little??
