Before scheduling a consult I want to know what questions to ask, I'm currently a 40DDD or F depending on brand and am looking to have a lift but do not want to lose size. I would like to be approximately a G cup for my body size What would my options be for surgery?

Answer: Breast Lift versus other options Your photo shows that you have large pendulous breasts and are missing volume especially upper pole volume. The breasts have laxity. A breast lift could be easily performed. But with the size goal and the skin laxity, there is a high likelihood that you will have bottoming out of the lifted breasts. At least another alternative would be to place an implant which would be a stable form for many years. And it would hold the upper pole volume. I believe that you would get the best result with an augmentation (of the volume) and a mastopexy (breast lift) including areolar and nipple reduction. But if you wish for fuller, perkier breasts, realistically an implant is required for added volume for the long haul. Thank you.

Answer: Breast Rejuvenation surgery Hello! Breastlift alone will reduce cup size a bit due to reduction of all of the excess skin. It is likely you would be at least a D cup. The shape will be improved. You can either opt for augmentation with implant or with fat suctioned from another body region. This will help improve the upper pole of the breast and provide pretty cleavage. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon with a photo gallery so you can see her/his work. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Augmentation Lift Reduction Yes, all three at the same time. Although nothing is better than your own tissue in terms of feel, it will fail you in terms of appearance, so its reduction is necessary to enhance the results and durability of the lift. If you want to also be larger, than an implant should be placed as well. This will result in the best appearance.
