Does the fact I can *fold* my boobs justify considering a breast lift?

I am not a big fan of cosmetic surgery. I watch the programs and winch at most of the procedures. I really shouldn't watch the horror shows about surgeries that have gone wrong either Shock
In saying that I have started thinking about my breasts term used loosely
Breast-feeding, age, and weight loss have left me rather deflated.
I have gone from a 38G to a 34F, which would be fine if there was any substance to them.
If I cup them underneath I can literally fold them up the way, from my nipples pointing south to north.
I have started fantasizing about having small pert boobs, not having to wear a bra, not lifting them up to wash underneath......
Has anyone had a breast reduction or breast lift?

If it would make you happier, do it.

I wish I could. I’m a 38E. I used to be a 34B before I had my son. And they never went back to their pre pregnant size. I hate them. I get hot and sweaty and I have constant sores.

I am thinking about this. But just worried about the complications. Mine have always been a bit droopy and I think worse now after pregnancy.
You'd have to make sure you researched it properly and got a good surgeon to reduce risks.

I am finally losing weight. I had 100lbs to lose, 60 down-40 to go.
The weight loss has definitely made the boob situation worse. I'm thinking once I lose more weight they are going to be worse. I'm also thinking that once I can finally get into lovely summer clothes, strappy tops and pendulous breasts don't really work. ☹

I had it on the NHS last year. I was a 32HH/30J. I'm now a 32DD/E.
My boobs were as you describe hanging very low, nipples pointed at the floor. They had been big since my teen years but grew more after pregnancy and breastfeeding. I wanted to be sure I'd completed my family before getting it done.
I was really lucky to get it on the NHS. surgery went well, the recovery was tough though I was so tired for weeks and weeks. Then I had fat necrosis so some tissue died then came out just under my nipple as liquefied fat which was unpleasant as you can imagine! I had to get the wound dressed weekly for about 5 weeks. Last appointment was the day following lockdown.
I'm so happy with how I look and feel now. I can sit around braless, wear anything I want, and the crippling back pain is gone.

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time katienana but I'm glad you are feeling the benefit of smaller breasts, The backache is something I only recently attributed to my breast size, I am always aware of my posture now.
