I'm 24 years old and am currently a 34DDD. Would a breast lift and reduction work for me? (photos)

Question

My breast are droopy, heavy and unappealing. I want to go down in size (I know if goes by CCs but I'd be okay ending up with a perky B or C cup range). I am interested in getting a breast lift and reduction but I also want perkier breast. What would you suggest is the best course of action procedure wise? I heard that if you get just a lift, the top of your breast will start to get flat again giving a saggy appearance so it's best to get implants with the lift. Is this true?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello and thank you for question.
You appear to be a good candidate for breast reduction or breast lift. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. You are an optimal candidate for breast reduction surgery as your breast size is disproportionately large compared to the rest of your body frame. The surgery will also help to reshape and recontour your breasts. Very large breasts have the natural tendency to sag or hang low, so breast reduction surgery will lift them up and help them look perkier under tight clothing. The gram amount is dependent upon the density of the breast tissue and the volume removed. No direct correlation exists with cup sizes.

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

You are correct, you'll need an implant to put some reliable fullness in the upper pole. For situations where the goal is to reduce the breast size, it should be a highly cohesive, low profile device to minimize size contribution while providing upper pole fullness.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast reduction. You should be able to achieve projection with this alone, however, after your consultation, you will be able to better assess whether adding an implant is right for you. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
