Height:5'7 1/2 Weight:127 BEFORE STATS: Bra Size-32C,BWD:14,(R)Breast from Sternal Notch:23 (L)Breast from Sternal Notch:21 AFTER DONUT LIFT & AUG. STATS: Bra Size-32DDD,(R)350cc's(L)400cc's Mod+ unders. SEEKING: Stronger lift w/ less loose skin, firmer, perkier, & more upper pole fullness. Ultimate wish would be for breast not to drape too excessively over the crease(hey, a girl can dream!). Which lift would afford me most of my wishlist? CC & Profile suggestion? Are examples achievable for me?
Thank you for the photos. Based upon the degree of laxity in your right breast and the nipple position it seems more likely that you will need a lollipop or full lift. The diameter of your implants is wide and much larger (heavier) implants will drop more over time. Rather than going with a wider implant you may wish to consider a more projecting implant with the same diameter, essentially going from moderate to high profile. This will give a more prominant upper pole.
In situations such as yours it is mainly the natural breast tissue that is drooping beneath the implant. I will often reduce the natural breast volume because it is the natural breast that responds more to gravity. In a perfect situation you would have identical implant volume and identical breast volume. If you reduce some of the natural tissue you will have the opportunity to do this and have more similar implant volume.
Be sure your surgeon has a comfort level with this as the blood supply to the breast can be more tenuous in a lift/reduction patient with an implant already in place.
After 3 kids and losing 60 lbs, I am very unhappy with how loose and droopy my breasts are. I am happy with the size, so would like to avoid implants. I'm also worried about the stretch marks on my breasts. Can you tell me if a breast lift without implants will be enough to remedy those issues? Also, after research I'm expecting to need an anchor lift, is that would you would recommend?
No: lifting alone may be what you think you want, but it'll leave you breast profile ski sloped. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon and understand the pros and cons before deciding. I personally would rather fill you than lift you, even though I've lifted hundreds before. Today, I would use your own fat vs. an implant though I've performed over a thousand implant augmentations (YouTube MTV true life; I want Breast Implants) Good judgment comes from experience unfortunately experience comes from bad judgment. Be safe and consider this; you don’t want to be bigger (I believe that) but if fat is transferred to you breasts upper pole you may remain the same cup size and not even need a lift and the scars involved.
I had a breast lift under a month ago. I loved them as they were immediately after. High, firm, perky...Yes I know a lot of characterisitcs are due to swelling, but I actually liked them being that high. It hasnt even been a month and they have dropped significantly. Is this normal? Do they look about right? Will they continue to drop? And could the surgeon of shifted them higher so they would have settled higher? They just keep going lower. I am just nervous now.
Your result is fine but your complaint is a common complaint. That's why I now almost routinely do a fat transfer to the upper pole of the breast in my lifts. Its called a natural breast lift and has replaced my combined augmentation/mastopexy in fifty percent of all my patients requesting a lift alone.
