Do I need a lift?

My guess is that you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts, not the size. They are pretty large considering your smallish frame. My STRONG recommendation is to just get a lift. I would do a vertical lift which would limit the scarring and also provide some nice upper pole fullness. Making your areolas substantiallly smaller will make your breasts look bigger. If you have implants, I think you will look top heavy. If you have a lift just... more

Do I need a lift?

The issue with an augmentation mastopexy is the issue of envelope and contents. The person who needs both is droopy out of a bra and in a bra would like to be larger. That said I feel you would benefit by a lift. My technique involves placing the implant first, sitting you up on the table even though you are asleep and at that point determining if I can accomplish our goal with a concentric, vertical or inverted T pattern. I would prepare you in advance for... more

Yes you will need a lift

For the optimal result a vertical lift plus breast augmentation would be recommended. I would not recommend a 400 cc implant. A large implant can have short term issues and long term issues. Dr. ES

Breast augmentation with lift

I think you would benefit from a lift, to get the nipples back where they should be. I also think the implant will help give you volume and some upper pole fullness. Just the implant will not address the nipple position adequately and I think will leave you disappointed.

Breast augmentation together with breast lift

The consensus is that yes you need a lift. I would add that if you put the implant under the muscle without a lift it will look very bad because the implant will be far away from all of the breast tissue. As it currently stands all of the breast tissue on the left is far downward from the muscle and on the right the vast majority is downward from the muscle. Due to your overall thinnes your breast implants should probably be placed under the muscle for a more natural look. Some doctors... more

Benelli breast lift with implants will work.

Hi. 1) Definitely need lift. 2) Together with breast implants, I think you only need a lift with a circular scar around the nipples (Benelli). This type of lift also makes your areolas smaller. 3) Lollipop lift might be an option too. T-scar not necessary for lift. Only for big breast reductions. 4) 400 cc's may be too big. Let plastic surgeon decide what implants best for you. Just make sure he or she REALLY understands the look you want (with... more

Breast augmentation may require a lift as well

It appears as though you may need a small lift if you get 400cc breast implants. The implants can be placed through the incisions made for the lift, and the lift is kept around the areola only (periareolar mastopexy.) However, the final decision is usually made after the implants are placed in the operating room. With this, the skin is "tailored" around the implants while you're asleep helping to determine the best shape for your breasts. Having said... more

Breast lift and augmentation

It is difficult to say from the photo what exactly would be best for you. A breast lift using a lollipoop or inverted T may be good. A mopr limited incision like a circumareola may work with an implant. Hard to say without an exam.

Breast lift combined with augmentation

Based on your photo- I would recommend a vertical breast lift in addition to an augmentation. I would avoid larger implants in these combination cases for a couple of reasons- the implant is really there to provide upper pole volume. You only need a small implant to achieve this. You've got plenty of your own breast tissues, so don't need a big implant to achieve an great result. Your issue is that most of your breast volume is in the lower pole of your breast. The... more

Do I need a breast lift vs implants alone?

You almost certainly need a breast lift with a "lollipop" type approach. Currently, your breast are ptotic and the nipple are below the breast crease. Thus, once the implants are placed beneath the muscle, the implants will sit higher on the chest with the implant "falling off the implant." There will be no balance and this will not produce an attractive result - your primary goal. Also, your breast will continue to age and this will leave... more
