Possible To Get Upper Pole Fullness After Weight Loss with Breast Lift and NO Implants??

Im 18 and Ive lost more than 80 pounds. I went from a 42DD to a 34DD and Ive lost a lot of the fullness in the upper part of my chest. I really REALLY dont want implants. Is there any way a breast lift can give me that fullness? Ive read all about it but everything Im reading seems to involve implants. I read a little bit about "auto-augmentation" that doesnt involve implants. There isnt a lot of info about that type of surgery that I know of. Also, If I ever have kids could I still breastfeed?

A: Deflated breasts With nursing, weight gain and loss, or aging, the breast gland contracts to a smaller and denser amount from it's voluminous and sturdy beginnings. Breast lift incisions are in the bottom half of the breast which makes the "lift" actually a "push-up". To assess your result after a breast lift (only), push up the sagging part of the breast up to the bottom fold of your breast. What volume increase you see on top is the probable result of a lift only. In general, auto-augmentation/fat grafts have modest improvements at best, even in the most experienced hands.

Can I Get a Benelli Lift to Acheive a Small Lift but More Importantly a Reduced Aerola?

I've had my implants for 2 years through crease. Even before surgery I wanted my aerolas reduced but doc suggested implant would make overall appearance better. I still want the aerolas reduced and was wondering if by performing the benelli lift I can obtain a slight lift enough to move aerola a tad bit higher; nothing extreme, just slightly. Most important to me is to reduce the aerola in size. Also, do I need to be put to sleep for this procedure? Thanks

A: The answer is yes but there are some downsides to your request

Actually the Benelli lift is most effective for the changes you desire particularly if you require only a small lift. However, you must recognize that you are obligating yourself to a scar that completely encircles the areola and be forewarned that the final appearance of this scar is not predictable. Many of these will fade but I have seen some that are quite noticeable and remain so. You must decide whether the small lift and a smaller areola is worth chancing a obvious, potentially disfiguring scar.

Lollipop Vs. Anchor Incision Breast Lift, Which Should I Choose?

I've had two consultations with different surgeons. One of them said they would use the B type pattern, which would result in a J shaped scar. The other said that won't be enough lift and won't be long lasting. He wants to do the full anchor type lift. Both said they would do internal reshaping of breast tissue. The one suggesting the anchor type lift has been practicing for quite a bit longer and is slightly more expensive. Now I'm not sure which one to go with. Thanks for your answers.

A: Breast Lift options

There are many types of incisions for a breast lift.  Some methods are better suited for certain anatomic issues.  From your photo, a vertical (lollipop) lift may be all you need.  At times, usually because of asymmetry of the breasts, I have needed to add a "J" or "L" or even a small "T" to one or both sides.  The main concern should be to have a result that produces equal appearing breasts regardless of the incisions used.  When the scars ultimately fade, you will be happy that the surgeon did what was right to make you equal.
