A breast lift is not a particularly physiologically stressful operation. With clearance from a cardiologist you should be able to have this operation done safely.

You're a great candidate for mastopexy ( breast lift). If your cardiologist provides medical clearance- then your surgery can be scheduled.

Joel Patrick Maier, MD · Answer

If your cardiologist gives you
clearance for anesthesia, I would not hesitate to proceed with a breast lift without an implant.
You would be delighted with the results! We can also address any asymmetry that
is present. Satisfaction with this procedure is very high. Thanks for sharing
and take your time in finding a plastic surgeon, ask for photos of her/his
work.

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

Provided your cardiologist feels you are a suitable risk for surgery you should be a good candidate for whatever procedure you choose with advice from your plastic surgeon. A lift could be done. If you want more even size, a reduction on one side is your option since you seen to exclude augmentation.Check with your cardiologist, then seek consultation with a plastic surgeon. All the best.
