Many women considering a breast lift are concerned about the final size of their breasts. Some patients would like the same size while others prefer to reduce or increase size. Discussing size preference is an important part of the initial breast lift consultation.
In his Torrance practice, Dr. David Bray, Jr., takes the time to explain what a breast lift can achieve, how the process works, and your options for retaining, increasing or reducing your volume after the procedure.
Does a Breast Lift Mean Smaller Breasts?
The short answer is that a breast lift on it’s own can result in smaller breasts. The main goal of the procedure is to reshape the breasts into a more elevated position. Reshaping the breasts requires removing excess skin and in many cases removing breast tissue.
Changes in shape and positioning caused by a breast lift can affect how volume is perceived. For example, after a breast lift the breasts may have the same or better projection but are smaller because they are not as long or wide.
Options to Maintain or Restore Volume
If maintaining fullness is important to you, there are ways to plan. Some patients choose to combine a lift with breast enlargement to restore lost volume while still correcting sagging. Breast enlargement can be performed with a breast implant. This approach allows reshaping and volume enhancement at the same time.
Others prefer a smaller, more lifted breast shape and feel comfortable with the natural reduction that can occur. The right choice depends on personal preference and the level of fullness you want to maintain.
Planning Makes the Difference
Achieving the breast size that meets your goals starts with clear communication. Breast shape, chest width, skin quality, and existing volume all influence outcomes. Dr. Bray, Jr., works closely with you to carefully plan a procedure that fits your unique goals.
