How much volume is lost with breast lift? (Photo)

Thank you for your questions and photos. I agree with your assessment, your implants were too big for you. 

During most breast lift procedure, no breast tissue other than skin is removed. So you will have the same amount of breast tissue but in a tighter skin envelope. This will lead to perkier breasts. A lot of my BL patients feel they have "Bigger"breast after surgery even though no volume was added. Good luck. 

Ordinarily mastopexy
(breast lift) reduces the breast size slightly. Usually not a full cup
size. I'm a little confused by your question. Are you going to have your breast
implants removed and simply have a breast lift.? If so you can expect to be
smaller than you were before your breast implants. Consider downsizing implants
and having a lift as well.

Actually there is little if any breast tissue removed during a breast lift procedure, though some surgeons might do otherwise. The only volume lost is the implant itself. How you see volume might be by judging the upper part of the breast, or the projection and this is why we often use an implant in breast lift, to round out the upper breast. In a bra however if you once were a C, you should remain one.
