What Happens To Your Cup Size After A Breast Lift?

What Happens To Your Cup Size After A Breast Lift?

You’ve hit some big milestones in your life. Maybe you got married, bought a house, got your dream job, or had kids–or all of the above. A milestone you could do without is seeing your skin start to show signs of aging. While it doesn’t happen to everyone at the same rate, most of us will see some drooping tissue in our faces, arms, and even our breasts at some point in our lives. But what can you do if you have sagging breasts now? What if pregnancy or breastfeeding has left you with tissue that hangs uncomfortably low? What if you’ve always had a larger chest, and gravity is causing problems for you before you’ve even hit middle age? Never fear–the breast lift is here. 

How Do I Know If A Breast Lift Is Right For Me?

A breast lift is an increasingly popular form of breast augmentation. But what does it actually do, and how is it done? Let’s break it down a little to help clear a few things up. The first step is knowing that a breast lift is right for you. How can you decide? It all comes down to what you want from your surgery. Are you after a procedure that can move your breasts higher on your chest and give you a better natural contour? If you are, then a breast lift is for you. Next, ask your friends who have had breast augmentation what surgeon they used. Don’t forget to ask if there was anything about their experience they wish had been different. While this isn’t always something in their control (or their surgeon’s), it can still help you understand what you might face during your surgery and recovery. If your friends don’t have any recommendations or haven’t really had any plastic surgery experience, try an internet search for surgeons in your area. 

Breast Lift Surgery

Once you’ve picked a surgeon, schedule a consultation so you can get an in-person impression; you’ll also get to hear what the surgeon thinks will be best for you. If you agree with the surgeon–and like them–it’s time to schedule your breast lift. Your surgeon will carefully remove skin and tissue that is sagging from your breasts. Then they’ll make sure the remaining skin is tight and firm, giving you a lifted and youthful look. 

What Happens To Your Cup Size After A Breast Lift?

You’ve probably been wearing a bra that’s too roomy or at least has enough space for your extra breast tissue. Once you have a breast lift, you may need to go down at least one cup size to get the right fit. So, yeah, you’ll technically lose a cup size, but a smaller bra will fit you better and be much more flattering to your figure.
