Hello. I am currently a 38DD and I am wanting an uplift. Do I need a reduction if I want to only loose a cup size? Also could I have an implant for upper pole? Many Thanks.
Answer: Breast lift Based on the photo your breasts will look much different once you have had the breast lift. It will raise the position of your nipple and condense your breast tissue. Excess skin will be removed. You can consider an implant for upper pole fullness, but that would add volume when your desire is less. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more about the procedure and your options.

Answer: Breast lift vs reduction If you only want to go down one cup size and wish for more upper pole fullness, a mastopexy or breast lift would be a better option. During this, plastic surgeons remove mostly skin and a small amount of breast tissue to reshape the breasts. Depending on the amount of lift needed, an implant may be delayed to a second stage 2-3 months after the first surgery to preserve the blood supply to your nipples. Another option for more superior pole fullness during the time of a breast lift or reduction is performing fat grafting. This is where we harvest fat using liposuction and then inject it into another area of the body. Generally, about 50% of the fat transferred melts away and 50% stays in place.

Answer: Reduction/ implants When looking at your photo the first thing I would recommend is a breast lift. A lot of times women do not realize that the majority of their cup size is all of the excess skin, and just by getting rid of all of that excess skin and bringing the breast tissue back up to where it needs to be will make you lose a cup size alone. I would recommend a lift with a small implant to give you the upper pole fullness. It is always best to see a licensed professional in person before making any final decisions. Could you also do a reduction along with all of that, yes you could. It would best be determined after examination at an in office visit.

Answer: Reduction, Lift, and Implant Breast reduction and breast lift procedures have many similarities, but the main difference lies in their objectives. The goal of breast reduction surgery is to make the breasts smaller and lifted and address issues like discomfort from their weight. In contrast, a breast lift focuses on improving breast shape by correcting sagging or droopiness (ptosis) without making significant changes to the overall size. With both procedures, your breasts and nipples would be in a much better position and higher on your chest.

Answer: Breast reduction To rejuvenate your breasts, you will have to lose some volume. But the volume lost is the heavier, lower part of the breast. Generally speaking, you will end up a "C" cup with improved shape, better proportion and lift and less skin-on-skin contact. The usual scenario is that we cannot make patients small enough in one operation. I would not hesitate to proceed, but it would behoove you to look at some before-and-after photos so you can be confident in moving forward. Thank you.
