I am interested in getting a bilateral breast lift with a slight reduction on my larger right breast to correct asymmetry and achieve a perky look. My smaller left breast currently fills out a 32D bra and I want to maintain that size, but I'm concerned as my surgeon said the lift alone would likely make me go down to a C. Is there any way I can achieve a lift while keeping my current size? I do NOT want implants or fat grafting. Is auto augmentation a possibility?

Answer: Volume loss in a lift. Thanks for your question. In a true lift all you will loose is a small amout of skin. There is really not much volume reduction at all (unless you want it). The breast will appear shorter so sometimes patients think it is smaller, and initially the skin is tighter flattening you somewhat like a sports bra, but that will relax over time. You must be careful in your expectations. A lifted breast will take on a tear drop shape, and always have some droop, particularly if left large. Lifted breasts and implanted breasts do not look the same and many patients equate implants with Perky. Implants defy gravity, larger natural breasts want to go south again. The Perkiest patients have little natural breast tissue and are mainly implant. If you really wanted perky you would consider a lift and reduction, followed by a staged implant. In practice most patients do not want to go smaller just to add an implant, but I hope the concept makes sense. Best wishes. Follow the link for additional info.
