Breast Lift. Will the cup size get smaller?

Question

My wife has talked now and again about getting a breast lift. She's a 40DDD right now and very happy w/ her size.
My looking around the net has found no real information about whether the breast size changes or not.
Most sites offer a lift/reduction or lift/implant. Little information is posted on just a lift.
Anyone out there just had a lift? Did the breast size get smaller? Even by a 1/2 cup?
Were you happy w/ the results?

Breast lift vs. breast augmentation: What's the difference?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Unlike breast augmentation, it does not change the size or firmness of your breasts.

During a breast lift procedure, your surgeon moves your nipple and areola to a higher position and removes excess skin from beneath your breast. Closing the remaining skin tightens and lifts the breast. In breast augmentation, your surgeon places an implant behind your breast tissue or a layer of chest wall muscle.

Breast lift procedures achieve the best results in women with small breasts, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts.

Breast lift and breast augmentation procedures are generally safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. In evaluating whether you might need a breast lift or breast augmentation, your doctor will consider:

Size and shape of your breasts
Condition of your skin
Placement of your nipples and areolas
Sometimes a breast lift is done at the same time as the breast augmentation.

Answer 4

When I talk to my doctor in a month, I'm going to ask her for a breast reduction. My mother had enormous breasts and I've inherited them to my detriment. I need to literally take off about 10 sizes before I even go to the chiropractor to straighten out my back.

A lift, I'm thinking is just taking some off of the sides under your arms.

And I would be THRILLED with the results. It means I can go buy a bra at Walmart if I wanted to instead of ordering it online for $45.00 a pop.

Answer 5

Yes, it can reduce the cup size, so she may want to discuss this with the doctor and consider having a small implant inserted behind the breast tissue to restore any lost volume.
