I Am Wondering if a Breast Lift Will Do Me Any Good?

I have 2 children and I breast fed both of them. I would like to have a smaller areola and get rid of the sagging, also to have a better shape to the breast, but would prefer to not have implants done. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Perfect candidate

Lifting or mastopexy is exactly what you need. You can also avoid implants if you are willing to lose a bit of volume with the lift. Photo looks like a full C cup...with lifting some skin and tissue is removed, the areola diameter is reduced, the breast tissue is sutured, shaped and raised on your chest. The volume is necessarily reduced but minimally if you prefer to remain full. You can expect to be a smaller C cup or very full B.

Breast Lift Candidate?

Thank you for the question. Based on your pictures, the description of your goals, and your life circumstances you may be an ideal candidate for breast lifting surgery. Ideally, this procedure is done for patients who are interested in lifting their breasts without necessarily increasing breast size. It is best done when patients are at a long-term stable weight and have completed pregnancies. Most patients undergoing this procedure will accept scarring as long as... more

Breast lift candidate

You are an excellent candidate for a mastopexy which, while lifting the breast, can also reduce the size of the areolae and make them symmetrical. The decision on whether to have implants is completely personal but you do not need them and would do fine without them in terms of size and shape.

Excellent Breast Lift Candidate

You are the textbook candidate for a breast lift!!   As long as you are happy with your current cup size, a breast lift will reduce your areola diameter, improve your overall shape, and get rid of the excess skin.   I use a parenchymal (breast tissue) reshaping technique which allows for a longer lasting result and can also give the upper pole fullness associated with an implant, if the patient desires.

Breast Lift After Pregnancy and Breast Feeding

If you like the size of your breasts post pregnancy, a breast lift will give you a tightening of the skin, and a lifitng of the nipple areolar complex to a higher place to give you a perkier look. However, if you liked that your breasts were fuller during pregnancy, you may also want to consider a breast augmentation at the same time.

A breast lift is definitely an option for you.  As long as you are happy with your current volume, a breast lift will reduce your areola diameter, tighten up the sagging/loose skin, and help lift up your breast tissue to a higher volume.

Breast lift gets excellent results with or without implants.

Your picture demonstrates a large amount of native breast tissue.  If you do not want to be larger, a breast lift will give you an excellent result.  The procedure resizes and repositions the areola.  Excess skin is excised and the breast is reshaped to look youthful.
