I wear a 34GG size bra and after having nursed 5 children, I'm in need of a Breast lift. Can it be done without Breast implants and will the lift leave my size the same or will it change? What is the down-time from this type of operation?

Answer: Breast Lift on Large Breasts Hi, From your description, it sounds as though you need a breast lift with a breast reduction. As you undoubtedly have figured out, gravity pulls everything down. With your large breasts, a breast lift without removing any tissue will undoubtedly start to droop again. The incisions used will vary depending on how droopy your nipple and areola are and how loose the skin is. Recovery is generally fairly quick. Most patients usually only miss between 1-2 weeks of work. Hope this helps. Best of luck,

Answer: Breast lift with very large breasts Someone with GG cup breasts does not need implants! Of course a lift can be performed without them. A lift alone would slightly reduce the breasts as excess skin would be removed. However, in someone that large, gravity would begin to counteract the effects of the operation almost immediately. You should consider a breast reduction at a GG size to achieve a lasting result. Confer with a board certified plastic surgeon as to a size which will fit your body image. The initial phase of recovery should take about two weeks although, with such large breasts, free nipple grafting could be required.
