Miami Breast Lift doctors

Hi there-

Based on your goals and current photos, I do think that you will get the best outcome with a breast lift and an implant- probably silicone for the most natural appearance.

Which technique would be best is going to depend a lot on details that could not be understood without examining you, and your surgeon's skill and experience with the technique, so it would not be (in my opinion) responsible for me to tell you which technique you should go with.

I CAN tell you that each technique changes the shape of the breast in a different way, and that this is predictable. In other words, the different techniques for lifting of the breasts should NOT be thought of as interchangeable, with the decision being based on the scar you want or the amount you want to pay. Too often these decisions are made based on these factors- and this is the most direct cause of the extreme unhappiness some women experience after breast lifting.

6 months after surgery, patients never remember that they told their surgeon they wanted a particular breast lift because it came with a cute little scar, or that they wanted to save money- they only remember that they are unhappy with their funny looking breasts.

And I wholeheartedly agree with my colleague from Memphis that breast lifts done around the nipple are over-used and almost always lead to a funny, somebody operated on my breasts kind of a look.

As for operations with cute sounding, gimmicky names, run away from them and anyone recommending them to you.

I would recommend a technique called circum-nipple mastopexy with cold-subfascial augmentation.  you have large areolas and with this technique you can have completely hidden scars instead of scars at the areola-breast junction.  With the cold-subfascial technique the breast implant is supported into a tear-drop shape like the result you are after.  The cold-subfascial technique also prevents the dramatic 'muscle jumping' that you can expect with subpectoral and dual-plane techniques.  Even in the best hands a Benilli lift tends to flatten the breast and always results in widened unattractive scars with time.  If you are considering Benelli lift you would be much better off with a vertical lift as it offers support and does not typically result in a widened scar.  I hope this helps!

All the best,

Although smoking is worse second hand smoke is bad as well prior to surgery do to the vasoconstrictive nature of the nicotine. You should avoid smoking and second hand smoke 4 weeks prior to surgery and 3 after surgery! Preferably not smoking at all!

Good Luck
