I recently saw a ps that told me that if I were to have a breast lift I would go from a 36/38 DD to a B cup. I have severe ptosis and alot of saggy skin but I still think that from a full DD I should at least be able to be a full C. Am I wrong. I dont want to say that I am right over a plastic surgeon but if no tissue is taken out I find it hard to believe that I would be left with a b cup and what looked like a SMALL B CUP! Somebody tell me that he is wrong and that I can still have big breasts
Answer: A Breast Lift Will Not Dramatically Alter the Size of the Breasts Breast lift surgery is intended to affect the positioning and firmness of the breasts, not their size. Although the removal of excess skin that occurs during a breast lift can slightly reduce breast volume, this difference is typically minimal. For patients who wish to either increase or decrease the size of their breasts in addition to their breast lift, the procedure can be combined with either breast augmentation or breast reduction. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, combining cosmetic breast procedures can help reduce recovery time and costs, and help patients achieve more comprehensive aesthetic results.

Answer: Breast Lift and Changes in Cup Sizes One of the most difficult predictions we make in breast surgery is post operative bra sizes. Unfortunately there is no standard sizing that bra manufacturers adhere to. Breast lifts remove skin, tighten the breast envelope but do not remove large amounts of tissue. Bras may fit differently after surgery, bu not to the extent that one would expect a change from a DD to a B cup with the same bra manufacturer. Without photos to review, it is difficult to make an accurate prediction. I recommend looking into a second opinion to put your concerns to rest.
