Does a Breast Lift Always Result in Dramatically Smaller Breasts?

July 24, 2008
Asked By:kaye mosson in england

I went in for an uplift on my size 36 g breast and have come out a 36 D, i am traumatised by the whole operation and very upset at being so small. I knew he would have to reduce them but not by 3 cup sizes, is this normal? do they have to always make your breast much smaller to achieve this?
