Advice for Breaslift Plus Augmentation- Which Technique Is Right For Me? (photo)

I'm a 36C. My plan is to have a breast augmentatin with silicone implants to increase my bust size to a 36D. I want a breast lift but don't want the vertical scars. Would a cresent or donut lift give me enough (1 to 2 cm) lift with the implants? In my most recent consultation, the surgeon said my sag is 2.5 centimeters. Thanks for your advice!

A: TYPE OF BREAST LIFT

Thanks for the photos, they are very helpful.  It appears that your nipple is at or just below the breast crease.  I would not recommend a lift.  I think you would do well with a subfascial or dual plane augmentation.  Even though you have a wide frame, I would consider a high profile implant to give you a more lifted appearance.

What Options do I Have for a Breast Lift after Breast Feeding? (photo)

I am 135lb, age 28, 5'3". I am considering a breast lift. I am Currently a 34D, and with a bra on...the girls look great. Nude, not so much. I feel gross. I had my son 10 years ago, and nursed him. I will not be having any more children. I am in the process of losing the last of the weight to get to a more healthy place...but my breasts have suffered tremendously. I do not want them any bigger, or smaller. They are the perfect size for my body shape (wide hips and curvy posterior). Any thoughts or opinions?

A: Breast lift options after breast feeding?

Hi Nicole, thanks for the question. Based on your photos, I would say that you are an ideal candidate for a vertical augmentation mastopexy with a small implant.  The reason for the small implant is to provide the superior fullness needed for a similarly sized result. Transposition of breast tissue alone will fail to adequately accomplish your goals because a small amount of breast tissue is removed inferiorly to allow better tightening of the breast mound and to keep your overall breast size unchanged. 

The aforementioned approach is the gold standard for a patient that presents as you do.  The ultimate place for fat grafting in breast surgery has yet to be determined especially given that any variation and graft take in the superior pole region would result in asymmetry.  The link below is to one of my cases that is very similar to your own - hope you find it helpful. 

Regards, Dr. DeLuca

Pre-Op Worry About Pain And Problems Associated With Surgery

I am scheduled for a breast lift with silicone implants 350 under the muscle. I am 53. I am suddenly very nervous as I have read reports of the pain and sproblems associated with this surgery. Am I getting worked up for nothing? Thank-you so much.

A: Preop anxiety about pain and complications It is completely appropriate for you to be concerned about pain and complications. Frankly, when patients don't worry and slough off these concerns, I get worried!! An informed patient is a patient who will participate well in her own care. No surgery is pain-free. However, what you should know is that the pain from augmentation under the muscle is like a faucet--it turns off within 72 hours when the muscle stops contracting. Your plastic surgeon should be able to provide you with reasonable prescription pain medication to get you through this period. Definitely discuss pain treatment alternatives prior to the procedure as this should put your mind at ease.
