Breast Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionBreast Augmentation with or with out Breast Lift? Need a Second Opinion (photo)
Can an implant alone fill in/ give volume, round shape, to sagging breasts by getting a size big enough to pull all the extra skin? while being pregnant I went to a D-cup then dropped down to a B-cup which left me with no volume + saggy breasts, recently I started doing my homework+ looking for doctors to consult with get different opinions in hopes to get my work done before summer.. Should I go with that advise or do breast lift+augmentation? I Thank you all in advance for your response.

Breast augmentation or breast lift for saggy breasts?
Based on your photos, you will need a breast lift. A breast augmentation will give you the size you desire. A breast lift is what combats the sagging and low nipple placement and a breast augmentation can somewhat improve the volume, but the nipples will eventually start to descend and you will not end up with the desired result.

The goal is to restore beautiful, well shaped, re-volumized breasts
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write your question. As you know, your breasts have seen a dramatic change related to your pregnancy. Associated with the increase in size, there was a stretch of the skin envelope and the supporting ligamentsts in the breast. It appears that you have regained your pre-pregnancy weigh and as a result you have lost some of the fatty tissue that was in your breasts when you were pregnant. In addition, many moms have post partum...

A breast lift with implants is likely your best option.
Thank you for your question and the photos.
A breast lift with implants is likely your best option. Implants alone do not lift breasts. Breast implants restore lost volume but do not provide lift.
To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Lift + augmentation
I would consider you to be a good candidate for a full mastopexy (breast Lift). If you also desire more breast volume, I would suggest a breast lift + augmentation.

Breast implants alone can sometimes cause more sagging
In some cases, yes, an implant alone may fill in, give volume and round shape to sagging breasts. However, this surgical strategy will only address a slight sagging. In more pronounced cases, an implant alone may actually accelerate the rate of ongoing ptosis, especially if it is placed above the muscle. From the photos it appears that you would fall into this latter category.
For sagging breasts and loss of fullness in the top portion, the best approach is often a lift in...

Breast lift and augmentation together
1. Based on the nipple position seen in your photos, it appears that you would benefit from a breast lift (mastopexy) along with breast augmentation.
2. Breast augmenation alone is not a substitute for a breast lift when the nipple position is as low as those in these photos.
3. Set up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out exactly where the resulting scars would be after a lift so you know what to expect.
Best of luck to you!

Breast Augmentation and Breast LIft
Hello,
There is no way whatsoever that your breast can look pleasing and lifted with just an implant. The inframammary fold defines the (proper) lower limit that an implant should be placed, more or less. The majority of your breast and the nipple lie far below your fold, and no implant can 'pull' the nipple and breast tissue up to where the implant is placed.
As far as getting different opinions regarding lift or no lift, be certain that anyone telling you 'all...

Breast lift with or without an implant?
I reversed your question based on your photos. Sagging or ptosis of the breast is graded from 1 to 3. One can be corrected with an augmentation alone. Unfortunately, you are a three. The nipple areolar complex is at the buttom pole of your breast. You will need a lift and an augmentation if you would like to return to a D cup as during your pregnancy. Most surgeons do this operations together, I personally do the lift first and procede with an augmentation later. An augmentation pushes the...

Breast lift ...yes
Based solely on your photos, I think you need a lift. An implant alone will fill but will not lift the breast. Sorry. Go for some consults with qualifited surgeons. Good luck!
