Does having a breast lift reduce the size of your breasts?
Hi, I was wondering if having a breast lift without implants would also reduce the size of the breasts? I'm very embarrased about my saggy breasts and would like to have a breast lift (definitely without implants though) but it would be disheartening to go through the big surgery and not be happy with them if they end up smaller. Does this usually happen? I'm a 36C by the way. Thanks

On the other hand a breast reuction removes some of the excess breast tissue and fat in the breast and with breast reduction the nipple is repositioned higher in the proper position and the skin and breast tissue is removed.
