Without seeing any photos of your breasts, I can only make some general recommendations regarding your concerns. It is common after pregnancies for women's breasts to undergo some involution, whereby the breasts become smaller.  This is also commonly seen after major weight loss. Additionally, it is common to develop some ptosis, or sagging, of the breasts as well. Breast augmentation can help with the loss of volume, and a breast lift (mastopexy) can help with the sagginess of your breasts and improve their overall shape. Definitely consider meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined and to discuss what the best options are for you.

Without a photo, I can only give general information based on your question. Shrinking and sagging are very common after pregnancy or weight loss. If you are looking to increase your breast size and shape, then I would recommend a breastlift with a modest size breast implant. If you desire a “perkier” look and do not wish to increase your size, as long as you have a modest amount of breast tissue, this may give you the look you desire. Once you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon he or she can give you the best recommendation based on your anatomy and desired look.

Thank you for your question.  A photograph would be helpful.It is common for breasts to become smaller and sag after weight loss or pregnancy.In these situations the combination of a breast lift and breast augmentation with implants is often the best solution.For more information on combination breast lift and augmentation please read the following link:
