Can I Go From a DD to a Perky and Firm C?

I have DD breasts with moderate sagging. Would like sm-full C. I like the look of kourtney kardashians. Perky, tight from the implants but not super fake looking. Is it possible to get this with a reduction and lift. I really want the tight firmness you get with the implant! Like the ability to wear a tube top without a bra if needed.

Vertical (Lejour technique) breast reduction will give you firm C cup breasts.

Hi. 1) With breast reduction, the technique is all important. The vertical operation reshapes the breasts internally and gives you long lasting good shape. 2) It is also a minimal (lollipop) scar technique. 3) But if you want to be rounded on top (which is fake looking but many people like it), only implants will do that. see video

Reshaping the breast with a breast reduction / lift

Your desire to go from a DD to a C and change the shape of your breast is very reasonable and can be accomplished by a breast lift / reduction. Many times I use the patient's own breast tissue and fold it up under the breast to give more upper pole fullness and simulate the use of an implant. This is termed a vertcal mastopexy with a dermal pedicle autoaugmentation.

Breast reduction and 'C' cup

A breast reduction, does just that - reduces the size of your breast. In doing so, it will also shape your breasts and bring your nipple-areolar complex to a more appropriate position, as those that typically require breast reduction will have large and ptotic ("drooping") breasts. A breast lift does the same, however, the difference being that not as much, if any breast tissue is excised. Both will give a rejuvenated, fuller, and more "perky" appearance of your breast shape.... more

Firm breasts after reduction

Most of the firmness you will have after a reduction is going to come from your natural breast tissue. If it is mainly fatty, firmness will be hard to achieve. If it has a lot of firm breast tissue, we can get a firmer result. Using an implant can help, but it requires performing a more extensive reduction and then making up for the volume with an implant. there are limits and pitfalls to this approach and your surgeon will need to exercise their judgement here. more

Reduction and "C" cup

A reduction may give you the volume of breast your looking for. It is difficult to say for sure without seeing you, but it will not give the look of an implant.

Can I go from a DD to a Perky and firm C ?

Breast reduction surgery can improve significantly the shape of the breast especially when a vertical breast reduction is performed. However, with time ,gravity will make the breast look deflatedvon the upper part of the breast. Breast implants on the otherhand help to maintain a firm perky look. If you are going to have a breast reduction surgery a vertical breast reduction such as superio-medial pedicle breast reduction will help to look as perky and firm... more

Breast Reduction and Achieving a “Firm” C Cup?

Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, patients who undergo breast reduction surgery do not achieve the “tight firmness” that can be achieved with breast augmentation surgery. I would suggest that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon and make sure that you have realistic expectations prior to proceeding with any type of surgery. In regards to breast size desired, also communicate carefully. In my practice the use of goal pictures are helpful in... more

Can I Go From a DD to a Perky and Firm C?

This is quite a common question and unfortunately the answer is decidedly NO. Breast augmentation in a woman with little breast tissue looks full and round because you are primarily seeing the shape of the breast implants. Breast reduction and lift to a C cup look will look like a younger woman with a C cup breast, not a woman with implants.

Perky after a breast reduction

Without seeing photos its impossible to answer your question for your specific case. Generally speaking, the shape and firmness that is achieved after a breast reduction is not the same as is achieved with a straightforward breast augmentation. The upper pole of the breast will not be as full with a breast reduction in most cases. While you can have a breast reduction and implant placed at the same time, this does add significant risks to the surgery. Best of luck.
