Should I Have Replacement Implants with Uplift?

9 years ago i had eurosilicon 325cc taking me to a E cup. I have since had 2 children and am now a F-G cup very saggy 33cm from breastbone to nipple. Ihave have been advised to have a full lift with no new implant which would make me roughly a Dcup.... I'm 5'10" and weigh 15 stone 7 oz, so i'm not small framed! I'm very concerned that athough my boobs will be perky they won't have that fullness and cleavage, even though i do have quiet alot of natural breast tissue! Any advice on implants/not

Implants with Lift or not?

Based on your description it sounds to me as if you may have adequate breast tissue to get a nice result from removing the implants and doing a mastopexy (lift), especially if you desire to be a smaller cup size. However, I suggest that you give your plastic surgeon the option to place a smaller implant and/or remove breast tissue with a similar sized implant if it appears intra-operatively that you would get a result to meet your expectations. Sometimes, it is difficult to... more
