Still Saggy Under the Breast After Implants

I had the 410's implants put in 3 months ago, 325cc's. However, there is still a lot of loose skin sagging under the breast. I am 5'2", 119lbs. I also feel the size is too big for me... I would ideally like a smaller implant with a lift. Or can I do a lift, keep the 325cc's.. and will the lift reduce the appearance of my breast size... so that I can avoid a change in implants???

Breast revision

You needed a lift in the first place, and hopefully your surgeon discussed that with you. Maybe you refused because of the scars? If your implants are symmetrically placed, you can just leave them alone and do a lift to elevate the breasts up onto the implants where they belong. If your surgeon didn't mention your need for a lift, go to someone else because the first person apparently doesn't understand when a lift is necessary. Sorry you have to go... more

Still Saggy Under the Breast After Implants

It is MY impression that a saggy breast LOOKS bigger than a lifted breast of the same size. It is my opinion that a vertical lift retaining your current implants will achieve the look you seek.

Poor outcome after breast surgery

Hi there- Without a more formal consultation and examination, it would be difficult to make firm recommendations, however.... Your poor outcome occurred because of poor management of the available skin and the technique for implant placement. In my practice, I have successfully achieved lovely outcomes in patients like yourself without any lift at all (photos posted on this site)... Indeed I would caution you that attempts at lifting the breast with scars placed solely around the more

Breast lift and augmentation

Although there is only one photo view, it looks like your nipple is a bit low. A simple direct method to correct this may be as simple as performing a circumareola lift to raise the areola and tighten the skin envelope.

Low nipple positon requires a breast lift

From your photo, your nipples appear to be low compared to the crease under the breasts. Unfortunately, implants do not raise the position of the nipples, so the only way to correct this is with a breast lift. If the implants feel too big for you, just having a lift will not make your breasts smaller. However, they might look better, even with the large implants, and that might make you happier with the result. 1. Only a lift will make the nipples higher 2. A lift will not... more

Breast lift in Manhattan

Hi. 1) From your picture, you will benefit by a "doughnut" lift around your nipples. 2) I would also use smaller breast implants, perhaps 250 cc's. 3) But you cannot use 410's because they will flip around. For revisions, it is best to use round smooth walled implants.
