Breast Lift for DDD Cup Breasts Possible?

Thank you for the question.

Yes,  It is very likely that you are a good candidate for breast lifting.  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 (if you choose to downsize) does also create a “lift” of the breasts.  I tell all my patients that mastopexy (breast lifting) is not a permanent operation and that further surgery may be necessary in the future.

For patients planning on 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.

Hi Vanessa,
A breast lift without reduction is unlikely to maintain its shape for the long-term. Given the sheer weight of your breasts, you would be prone to recurrent sagging. If you were willing to go smaller, a breast reduction could provide you with a nice breast shape and longer lasting results.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Certainly, these breasts can be lifted but at your size the probability for recurrent ptosis (sagging) is high as well. I would recommend that you consider a slight reduction if undergoing the breast lift.
