I have read about breast mesh bras that can be inserted. Can these be done without getting a breast augmentation? I went from a 38DD to a 36 B size in order for insurance to pay for it. I like the small size but what is the best why to lift them up? My breasts started to sag right after that surgery. What will it take for me to have stand up breasts? Will a mesh do the trick?

Answer: Sagging after breast reduction No one likes breasts that hurt because they are too big. No one likes breasts that are deflated looking, which is a real risk when trying to maximize reduction outcomes. It is probably a difficult adjustment to jump from one set of problems to another, and reliably perfect outcomes from surgery are not as realistic as any of us would like. Breast implants are incredibly popular as they serve as an inner bra to provide fullness and roundness to an otherwise slightly small or saggy breast. If the breast is too big or if there is too much loose skin, an implant alone cannot do the trick. Sometimes I see unhappy patients getting talked into implants which are too large (and sometimes over time sag) to address the skin issue. I can't tell from your picture, but a very thin implant can help round out your look (upper pole fullness), shouldn't give you a lot of bulk or spine-jarring movement, and may look nicely natural. This is a more straight forward solution to your concern than mesh option you mentioned. Depending on your body fat situation, a fat graft to the upper pole area of your breast, might be able to offer you the breast contour you like if the result you are looking for is subtle. Best wishes! I hope this helps!!

Answer: Yes its an option Dear jasattIt is not uncommon to have deflation of the breasts after reduction. When more breast tissue and fat is taken out than skin, for example, a reduction can have a deflating effect over time. There are several ways to address this. The first thing that comes to mind is mastopexy, which is a fancy way of saying breast lift. With this procedure, the skin is better tailored to the fill to create perkiness. In some cases, an internal bra made from a mesh might help, but this is not always necessary.Very good question, and I wish you the best,
