Question

They are still to big. I’m size DDD , F. THE SAME SIZE I was before surgery I would love to be a perky D or DD

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your results are typical of the anchor lift.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief and long term stability.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello. Great question. Thank you for your pictures. A breast lift does not reduce your breast size. Since you are considering a revision, a breast reduction will be your best option to achieve smaller breasts. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Hi and welcome to our forum!In the breast lift procedure, excess skin is removed and the breast is brought up from its sagging position. No breast tissue is removed. There will be no significant change in breast size. As you are concerned about breast size, you should consider breast reduction surgery to remove breast tissue as well as excess skin. I would delay surgery for at least 6 months from your previous surgery to allow for subsidence of swelling and the hypervascularity of healing.Best wishes...

Dear Queaty,
breast lift doesn't remove breast tissue so you can't expect a significant decrease in size. If you want to get smaller breasts, then you might need a breast reduction surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I am not sure why you selected to add more volume with fat if you wanted to be smaller, but you can have liposuction to remove some excess fat or a reduction.
