Breast Lift Without Implants for GG Cup Breasts?

Thank you for the question.

Yes,  you can absolutely have a breast lift/reduction without the use of implants. As a matter of fact, I do not think the use of implants ( if you had requested them)  would be a good idea at the same time that you are undergoing a very significant breast lift operation.

As you probably know,  breast reduction surgery does also create a “lift” of the breasts.

For patients planning on breast reduction/lifting surgery...it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful (and much more precise than discussing cup size).

I hope this helps.

For many of the breast lifts that I perform, I generally recommend use of a submuscular implant. The advantage to this is that I can usually restore and enhance upper pole fullness which a standard breast lift does not accomplish on its own. In addition, I feel that placement of an implant also may provide a more optimal shape and contour to a lifted breast. But is this always necessary? No.

If you already have substantial breast volume or if you have fairly firm, glandular breasts, then this may not be necessary. In this case, I would simply restructure and reshape your breasts using a standard breast lift alone. Adding additional volume to breasts that are already large may simply not be necessary.

I hope that helps.

Yes you can undergo a lift without implants. However, due to your size, it is possible that the sagging will recur. Furthermore, it is also likely that your breasts may appear smaller just due to the fact that lifted breasts do not look as large as similarly sized sagging breasts. Implants will achieve upper breast fullness and this may not be possible with your tissue.
