Atsize 36 DDD, you certainly do not need implants. I recommend a new technique called TheUltimate Breast LiftTM. Thistechnique reshapes your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevatesthem higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The breast size can be adjusted to the sizeyou desire and you can maintain the DDD size if that is your choice. This technique avoids the ugly vertical scarsof the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation and the ability tobreast feed. This technique results inimmediate relief of neck, back and shoulder pain by transferring the weight ofthe breast to the underlying muscle. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
With a breast lift operation only, even though minimal skin/tissue is removed, the breasts may APPEAR modestly smaller as they sit higher on your chest wall. Best wishes.
Hello,You would benefit from a physical exam where specific measurements could be taken. It is difficult to judge by your photo how much skin will need to be removed to lift your breasts. Generally when breasts undergo a lift a certain amount of skin is removed and if enough skin is removed your cup volume could be diminished. Usually this is not by a significant amount. Also, since your breasts will have more fullness in the upper portion of your chest after a successful lift, you may not perceive the change as having smaller breasts but more shapely breasts. Sometimes when you wish to maintain your pre-lift size we can add a small implant to achieve this.Best Regards,Lane Smith, MD, FACS
