Breast Lift and Large Implants, Is this Possible? (photo)

I have a lot of sagging and droopiness so I definitely need a breast lift but I also want large implants. I was thinking 800cc but it does not even have to be this big. Will this be impossible? I just want them to look perky and big.. however many cc's it takes to get there. Will this be possible?

A: Breast Augmentation

When reshaping a breast several factors are important, most notably the current condition of your breast tissues and shape.  A breastlift procedure lifts and tightens the breast.  A breast augmentation enlarges and expands the breast.  These 2 work at opposite tension and force.  With the significant lift you need I would first perform a lift procedure to improve your basic breast shape.  About 3-4 months later you could have a second stage augmentation to fill out and enlarge your new breast shape.  I believe this would be a safer approach for you.  I hope this information is helpful.

My Breasts are Soft After Having Implants a Week Ago, Does That Mean the Swelling is Gone?

I had a breast implant done a week ago, I used 375cc of silicone gel. I am worried that my breast are going to be smaller than I imagined, if my breast are already soft instead of hard, does that mean that the swelling is just about done? and the size I am now will more likely be my permanent size?

A: Breast Augmentation

The softening of your breasts could be a combination of a decrease om swelling and a relaxation of your muscle and breast tissues.  As the breast softens the implants will settle and I often find that the relaxation alleviates some of the initial flattening caused by tight tissues.  Of course swelling may still be present, but I would be patient and allow the healing and settling to continue.  I hope this information is helpful.
