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: Which breast lift for you

The photo shows a breast not too much unlilke yours with greater projection and better nipple size. The vertical lift or lollipop patern will lift the nipple and reduce the size. Importantly it will reduce the lower laxity and give more projection just like the photo and should be the best lift for you.

Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Do I Need a Lift 7 Months Post Implants? (photo)

Hello: I had a primary breast augmentation in July - 500cc smooth silicone under the muscle through the areola. Developed capsular contracture in my left breast and my right has dropped below the point where I liked it. I am also attaching a picture from before anything was done to me. I want both my breasts to look like my right did at 2 months after the surgery (refer to picture). Any way to achieve that without doing a lift? Why did the right drop so much if it wasn't droopy before? Thanks!
A: The picture of capsular contracture

Your photo series is an excellent example of how capsular contracture appears and progresses. Your breast started out well, and as contracture set in the implant rounded up and pushed upward distorting the breast. You will need the capsule corrected, but a lift is not necessary. Do you need implants? The befores might cause envy for some.

What Can I Expect For Heal Time After Breast Lift? When Can I Begin Exercising Post-Op?

I'm considering just getting a breast lift. I'm currently a B cup and believe I have tubular breasts. I love to run, so I'm concerned about the healing time. How long (on average) until I'm able to continue my workout routine? Also, I'm black and don't have a history of keloiding, could I still be at risk?
A: instructions after breast lift

Dear Daned13,

Your surgeon should be able to guide you and give you in writing his/her post-operative instructions after breast lift surgery. typically for my patients: all incisions will be covered by steristrips, so all patients can shower from day # 1. But no hot baths, jaccuzzi, swimming in a ocean or pool for another 6 weeks or until I clear it.

No heavy lifting for 3 weeks: no more than a 3 LBS purse.

all sports activities can be resumed at 3 weeks post-op. wear 2 tight sports bras if running.

all my patients are instructed to start massaging their breasts from day # 1 with moisturizer, hand-held electrical massager or hand-held ultrasound devices ( you can purchase them for less than 100 $ on Amazon )

good luck
