Would a breast lift allow me to stay my old size (34D), or would I have to get implants?

Question

Before I had my two children, I was a 34 D. I still fit in to my 34 D bra's, but my breasts lack fullness (they're so saggy, have excess skin and are "empty"). So my question would be, if I get a breast lift, and remove excess skin, will my breasts lose volume (be a C or B cup)? Would I have to get implants as well? Or should they still be a 34 D once I get them lifted?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

There is a new technique called The Ultimate
Breast LiftTM.  This technique
reshapes your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevates them higher
on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  This technique avoids the ugly vertical scars
of the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation and the ability to
breast feed.  You will not lose volume
and still remain 34 D.  If you are happy
with that size, I would not recommend implants. 
Implants are only designed to increase volume, they do not change your
shape.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

You are describing loss of volume when you say you don't have the fullness you used to have.  A lift will reposition the nipple onto a higher location but you will still be hollow on top as you are now.  You will need an implant to recover the volume you lost.

The only way to determine this is to examine you in person.  You need to see a BC PS in your area.  I would recommend Dr. Clapson in Saskatoon.

Thank you for your question.To best help you, a physical examination or a set of pictures will have to be evaluated before actually letting you know if its possible.

George Lefkovits, MD · Answer

Judging from your history you have lost a fair amount of volume. The only reason you fit into your 34 D bras is because the sagging of your breasts occupies volume in your bras. I find this as being quite common among my patients. Implants will restore the volume you lost and the lifting will correct the breast sagging. But you need to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get the final say. Good luck!
