Breast Lifting May Decrease Bra Size, Says Study in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

After undergoing breast lift surgery (mastopexy), women may find themselves wearing a smaller bra—with an\ average decrease of one bra cup size, reports a study in the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

But the difference reflects the effects of the breast lift itself, rather than a true reduction in breast size, according to the study by Dr. Katie Elizabeth Weichman of New York University and colleagues. They believe their results have important implications for talking to patients about the expected results after breast lift surgery.
