Can I get just a breast lift with small breasts?

Thank you for your question. I understand your desire to keep your current size and stay free of the risks and complications associated with breast implants. You may be a candidate for The Ultimate Breast Lift method. Please visit my gallery and see if you can find anyone with your dimensions. If you have excess sagging, I can use that skin to rebuild the breast and re-position them high on the chest wall to achieve round/perky breasts. I've included a short video to show you what can be achieved with this technique.Best wishes and kind regards,Gary Horndeski M.D.

Yes, you can get a breast lift to improve small breasts which are sagging. The overall size remains the same after breast lift, but they may appear a little smaller due to the skin being tighter.

Most women who have breastfed children benefit from a lift. And yes, you can get one no matter what the size of your breasts. The surgery is the same. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss. My best,

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately without photos and more importantly, an in-person evaluation, it is nearly impossible to tell you what would be best for you.  In general, the breast lift procedure benefits patients who are looking to reposition their breast to a more ideal, lifted position on their chests.  To determine if you qualify for this procedure, please be seen in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Without pictures, it is impossible to say what may or may not be possible.  If you have a degree of ptosis ( your nipple sits lower than the natural breast fold), then you would be a candidate for a lift.  If you are opposed to implants ( most women still can look natural with an implant), fat grafting to the breasts could be another option.  Best to consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons and see what they have to say.

If you have enough to work with, then yes, a lift alone may look great!  Don't totally count out implants -- at least go look as some real results. Many women are opposed to implants because they look fake. However, the best implants are the ones that don't get noticed!  Small implants (200cc or less) can do a lot for filling our the skin without overwhelming you with size.  See a board certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the ASAPS in your area and see what they have to say. Good luck!

Getting a lift is a good option for you. Implants are not always needed in breast lifting. They are used for adding size and enhancing shape of breasts. 

Hello dear, thanks for your post. You may be a good breast lift candidate if:You are physically healthy and maintain a stable weightYou do not smokeYou are bothered by the feeling that your breasts sag or have lost shape and volumeYour breasts have a flatter, elongated shape or are pendulousWhen unsupported, your nipples fall below the breast creaseYour nipples and areolas point downwardYou have stretched skin and enlarged areolasOne breast is lower than the otherBreast
lift surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it
for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any
sort of ideal image.Is important to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon, for a person evaluation and to talk about your goals. Good luck :)

Dear Ms. Aureliocrystal,Thank you for your story and questions. Unfortunately with out photos or a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based your story, however I hope you find my comments helpful.BREAST LIFTMastopexy involves shaping the breast, repositioning the nipple areolar complex(NAC) and when needed reducing the size of the NAC by removing excess skin that cause the sag of the breast. The nipple is left connected to the breast tissue. Depending on how much excess skin and desired shape the three main types:1)Peri areolar = doughnut shaped scar around NAC2)Vertical = lollipop shaped scar 3)Inverted "t" = anchor shaped scarEach of the above techniques involves a progressive removal of excess skin and builds on each other to lift and contour the skin "bra" to the shape of the breast desired.SIZEBreast size will not significantly change because skin is only resected.SENSATIONThe nerve to the nipple areolar complex (NAC) is directly under the NAC and USUALLY not disturbed by removing the excess breast skin during a mastopexy. The surrounding breast skin may have some short term numbness but usually returns.UPPER UPPER POLE FULLNESSCurrent mastopexy techniques will not attain the "upper pole" fullness patients desire. A small augmentation can be added to create this upper pole contour and not to increase size substantially.SCARSScaring is always a concern. However there are various postoperative "anti scar" programs to optimize, reduce and treat scars.In my experience if the desired goals of shape and positioning of the NAC is obtained .... The patients rarely complain about the scars.I suggest you you collect several "model" or "goal" photos and then make a appt. with Plastic Surgeon, who has experienced and who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes,R.

Lift is largely about nipple position and you can have a nice lift without adding an implant even in a very small breast. If planned well you will not lose volume with your lift, and the breast tissue you have can be recruited into a better shape with improved breast projection as well.
