I have breastfed for about four years total and went from a C cup to a D cup then down to a B cup after weaning. I’d rather not use fat injections or implants. I’m fine with having small boobs but the excess skin and droopiness really bother me. Would I be a good candidate for a breast lift?
Answer: Breast lift Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a breast lift. This can be designed to result in an improved shape and contour of your breasts while minimizing scar appearance. 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. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Breast lift for small breasts? You are a candidate for a breast lift. I nearly always do a vertical, or lollipop lift. I find this produces better and more long-lasting shape than the old-style anchor lift. Remember that without an implant, you will continue to have very little upper pole fullness. All the best.

Answer: Breast Lift Based on your photos, I think you would obtain a nice result with a breast lift. A breast lift will improve your breast shape and allow your nipples to sit a little higher on the chest, giving your breast a more youthful appearance. It is also important to consider that because you are beginning with little breast tissue, you may not achieve a significant amount of upper pole fullness. If this is of concern to you, a breast lift with implants may be a better option for your needs. I would recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment option based on your aesthetic goals. Best of luck with your procedure!

Answer: Breast Lift / Breast Augmentation/ Breast Reduction/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants I appreciate your question. From your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for breast lift. I perform a liposuction breast lift/reduction known as Breast LipoLift®. This specialized technique spares more nerves and blood supply as well as removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast, I then remove the excess skin to tighten the breast and create a more proportional silhouette with better cleavage. This procedure is also more accurate than traditional breast lifts or reductions since I use 3D measurements to uncover size asymmetries. During the procedure I remove exactly whatever is more from the larger side to get as close to symmetry as possible. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. Over 90% of my patients are out to dinner the next evening taking only Advil and Tylenol if even needed. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It has been proven to have less complications than traditional breast reduction (please see my Breast LipoLift® page web page) and should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Good candidate for Breast Uplift? Thank you for your question and pictures. The distance between your sternal notch and your breasts should be less than or equal to 21 cm. It appears from your pictures you would be a good candidate for Breast Uplift. This will make your nipples point forward and your Breast sitting on your chest, perked. You haven't got a lot of volume in your breast so when they are uplifted they will be small. In the future if you wanted to increase the volume a breast implant could be put in. All The Best
