Hello,I am 40 years old,just finished lactation,my breast differs in size,shape and heaviness with each other: the smaller one is very heavy, lost its shape and drops,the other one is almost get back to my previous shape. An ultrasound doesn’t show any abnormalities. If the smaller breast is pooling down from the clavicle,droops more, could it be torn Cooper ligaments, and if they are torn is it possible to have a breast lift surgry?

All breast lifts use internal sutures to help hold and shape the breasts. A skin only lift does not hold well. Sometimes, mesh is added for more inferior support until the tissues heal well.
Thanks for your question. For your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants to address the droop/sag, add volume to your breasts, and reduce the areolas. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified...
I would suggest liposuction of the excess fat and consider minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening with Renuvion or ThermiTight to help tighten the skin in that area.
