I want a lift, but I want to make sure my breasts don't just go back to their original position over time. Do I need to get a reduction at my size as well? If so, what cup size do you recommend I reduce them to in order to get long term results on the lift?

Answer: Improvements usually persist - but also always age over time Many considerations here, but the short answer is your breasts will always continue to age, but if you are quite large and are taken down to a C/D-range (yes, would recommend some degree of reduction - generally necessary anyway), you should never be anywhere close to where you area again (unless severe weight changes - and/or pregnancies - over time occur). Generally, (younger) age, post-operative support, ongoing fitness and good quality of skin (plus excellent surgical technique, and again, the size you are left with - smaller generally better) all should help you maintain your desired results. It is also quite possible to re-reduce/lift again in the future (many years down the road . . . )

Answer: Breast lift or just reduction? This question cannot be answered without a good exam and photographs would help. A small or moderate reduction is often needed for appropriate contouring of the breast. This may involve removal of some tissue to help prevent early re-drooping. You should consider going to a board certified plastic surgeon to at least talk about different approaches and expectations. A breast lift rarely re-droops to anything close to its original shape.
