Is Breast Lift for Cup Size A Breasts Worth It?

An effective breast lift also reduces breast size.  A skin-only "breast lift" typically does not work very well.  In your situation, it is best to use small implants in combination with a breast lift.  This will also correct your stretched out areolae.  So even if you want to stay the same size, you need to have implants.  But they can be saline if you prefer, which are undeniably safe.  You simply need to get past your apprehension about implants, particularly if you want youthful firmness, which implants provide better than stretched-out breast tissue.  I would recommend that you view before and after photos of breast lifts and breast lifts with implants, including patients with small breasts, before making up your mind.  I've attached a link to this portion of my website.

A breast lift can help if you don't mind keeping your A size. However, some tissue does have to be removed to make your breasts perkier, so you may experience a bit of a decrease of breast size. To replace this, you can consider breast augmentation with fat transfer. This would use your own fat to enhance breast size, rather than implants.

         It’s not unusual for
women with small breasts to request breast lift surgery when breast sag is
present. The vast majority of these patients are also interested in undergoing
breast augmentation surgery. Never the less, there are patients who are happy
with smaller breasts and are primarily concerned with breast sag.

 

         In this group,
breast lift surgery can be performed with high satisfaction rates. A variety of
surgical options exist for managing this condition. The exact procedure would
depend on your aesthetic goals and physical examination. Depending upon the
severity of breast sag, several treatment options exist.

 

         In cases of mild
breast sag, the excess skin and sag can be treated with a donut mastopexy. This
procedure removes and tightens the excess skin and sag around the areola. This
leaves a scar at the junction between the areola and surrounding tissue.

 

         In more severe cases
of sag, a lollipop incision can be utilized to deal with excess skin. This
leaves a circular incision around the areola with a vertical extension that
extends to the inframammary fold. When extreme sag is present, excision of
excess skin requires not only a vertical incision, but an incision transversely
in the inframammary fold as well.

 

         It’s important to
remember that every woman with breast sag is unique. Their anatomic starting
points and aesthetic goals are always different. Any patient considering breast
lift surgery should consult a board certified plastic surgeon. After careful
evaluation an appropriate treatment plan can be formulated.
