I had a breast reduction 7 years ago and I have since lost over 100 pounds. I look absolutely flat chested. I went from a size 38F to a 36C to a 36B and I am totally unhappy. What can I do to build my breasts back up again? Would a lift work or would augmentation be better?
A:
From what you have described, it seems that a breast augmentation with possibly a lift would be the best solution. Please keep in mind that without examining you or at least a picture it is difficult to give you the exact solution for you. I am guessing that you have a significant amount of extra skin and as you said, "... absolutely flat chested." For this situation, you would need implants to help with the volume. Depending on the size of the implants you choose, and how much extra skin you have, you might still have loose skin (because the implant does not use up all of the extra skin), which would need to be corrected with a breast lift. Of course, if the extra skin does not bother you, then you would need only implants. I hope this helps.
