Which Breast Lifting Technique Would Be Most Suitable? (photo)

I have consulted a board certified PS & am in process of scheduling the surgery. Dr. has said for perkiest look go for a full lift w/ augmentation, and for a more natural look go with a donut lift w/ augmentation. Below are photos of the look I'm after & my own breasts. I know "perky" and "natural" have different definitions depending on each person. Which lifting would bring mine to the same position and shape? I know all breasts are different, I am simply going for that "style" in the pics

A: Best breast lift technique will depend on your exam and surgeon's skill with technique

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 Have Decided To Go Forward With Lift w/ Implants, How Much Time Will This Add to Recovery?

I just want to say thank you to all who have responded to my first post. I was just in shock to hear that my breasts were that bad. until I took the pictures My partner and I were unaware just how asymetrical my breasts actually are. I have decided that I am going to go ahead with the lift, I just hope that I can achieve my look without a vertical scar. (I'm hoping he will be able to just lift around the areola?) how much longer will the lift add to my recovery. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all that took time to help.

A: Breast lift will not significantly alter recovery relative to implants alone

Hi there-

the breast lift will not add one bit of pain or time to your recovery. Best wishes

Should I Avoid Second Hand Smoke in a Casino 5 Days Before Breast Lift?

I am having a bilateral mastopexy in 5 days. I would like to go out tomorrow night with my husband (possibly to a casino) and there will be smoking. Should I not go because of the second hand smoke? I am not smoking but I am worried about being around it before my surgery. Thank you so much.

A: Any Nicotine Exposure is Bad Before Breast Lift

Hi there-

Any nicotine at all (whether from cigarettes, gum, patches, or even someone else's cigarette) may compromise the blood flow to the skin of your breasts and therefore your safety and happiness with your result.

Avoid it at all costs- this is elective surgery, right? It doesn't make sense to do or allow anything that might lower your chances of being happy or increase your chances of a problem.
