Is It Possible to Go from a D Cup to a C Cup in Breast Size? (photo)

Question

I loved my perfect C cups before I got pregnant. They didn't sag or lay against my stomach. After my pregnancy, i am not happy with the appearance of my breasts. They had increased to a DD during my pregnancy and are now D cups.I would like to be able to wear strapless shirts & not worry about a bra. My question is, to obtain the perky well rounded look i had before, what procedures would be necessary 1st two photos are of myself and the last one is similar to the outcome i would like

Thank you for the question and pictures.

	Based on your current pictures and your goal pictures,  I think you will benefit from breast lifting and augmentation. Direct examination will be helpful before making the specific recordation;  however, it is likely that you will end up with the best outcome (from the aesthetic standpoint and the longevity standpoint)  from a vertical mastopexy/augmentation procedure. I'm sure  you will also receive a recommendation to have a circumareola mastopexy procedure performed;  I think you will be less likely to achieve the &ldquo;perky  well-rounded look&rdquo; that you are trying to achieve with this procedure.

	I hope this helps.

A lift of the breast of some variety may be helpful but there will be incisions on the breast. If you want less incisions you  may want to go a bit larger with implants and a small circumareola lift.  Hard to say without an exam.

After pregnancy, breast do change. The skin stretches and sometimes the breast tissue voulme reduces. Your pictures indicate that this may have happened to you. A mastopexy, also known as a. breast lift can correct the stretched skin and improve the overall shape of the breast. Sometimes skin removal alone can make the breast smaller, as the floppy skin does take up room in the bra. Or you may need some breast tissue removed to reduce you to a C cup. I can not tell from your photos. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeons who does alot of breast surgery for a consultation.

Yes but you must understand there can be scars and other risk issues. Seek in person evaluations from boarded PSs in your area.

Thank you for your question.  Although it is difficult to give you an official recommendation without a direct examination, a breast lift procedure is an option for you.  This procedure lifts your breast tissue,  removes any extra skin that has has occurred with change in breast size (such as in pregnancy), and rearranges the tissue to give the breast a fuller, perkier look.  Patient satisfaction is often high with this procedure.
