I had a breast reduction/lift 13 years ago and went from a 32 DD to a 32 full C. I was very happy with my results, but as time and gravity take their toll, I'd like to have another lift and possibly a small implant to get the fullness on the top. I What size implant would you suggest I use to be able to get the fullness on top and still stay a C cup. I am a petite frame at 5'2" and 100 pounds.

Answer: Breast implant after reduction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based on your description placing a small implant with a lift is a great solution for the problem you have. This is a common situation for some patients years after breast reduction. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
