Sometimes patients may lose about a cup size during a breast lift. However, it is not a breast reduction and is not meant to make the breasts smaller. When the breasts carry excess skin, this can sometimes require a larger bra size to adequately lift the breasts and hold the extra skin. Patients with mild sagging may not experience any significant change in breast size.
Patients concerned about their breast size may consider a breast augmentation. This can be done at the same time as a mastopexy. Breast lift incisions easily accommodate the placement of breast implants. Therefore, no additional incisions are necessary.
