Breast lifts and implants

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Lollipop breast lift and implants in one procedure?

I am interested in getting a lollipop breast lift and a 370-400cc breast implants at the same time. I am currently a 36DD. I had one doctor tell me I need to do it in 2 seperate proceedures for best scaring results, the other tells me that I can do it in one. What is recomended?

Obviously, if you need a vertical scar, you need more lift than just a periareolar incision.  A lift tightens you and an implant stretches you so the two forces oppose eachother in wound healing.  That means that you cannot go too large safely with the implant at the same time as the lift.  Most of the time the 2 can be done together but occasionally a staged procdure is best.
