4 years ago I had a breast lift and I had implants placed. I had lost 50lbs prior to surgery so I had loose skin/tissue/ boobs. My doctor filled my breast tissue with “the biggest implant” they had. Fast forward 4 years. My boobs are extremely large maybe F size and sit very low! Is it possible to get a reduction, remove all my excess skin and place small perky implants that sit higher than the massive ones I have now?
