Breast Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhich Breast Surgery Will Give Me Perkier, Fuller Breasts?
Before I had my first child, my breasts were a small B-cup. I got pregnant, then all of a sudden my boobs jumped to double D's. I was extremely excited to have huge full boobs without surgery, but soon after I had my baby, they seemed to just deflate like balloons. What would be the best breast surgery to make them higher and fuller? I always heard if you get implants they make them more lifted but I'm not sure.

The Operation is Tailored to the Patient
Rejuvenation of a woman's breasts after having children is a very common scenario for plastic surgeons. While most women who are seeking cosmetic breast surgery would like their breasts to be full and sitting nicely on the chest, this goal will require different approaches based on the individual's inherent anatomy. There are usually 3 key issues that need to be addressed by your surgeon, and your input in this process is really important:
1) volume or size of the breast: the surgeon...

What Goes Down Must Go Up - Turning Breast Deflation Into Breast Elation
Loss of volume of the breasts is quite common after pregnancy and breast feeding. The firm and full appearance of the breasts resulting from the hormonal stimulation of the breasts and the accumulation of milk in the glands may enlarge the breasts by several cup sizes. When breast feeding ends and the hormonal stimulation diminishes, the breasts appear to deflate. In some cases, the breasts may appear to be even smaller than they were before pregnancy, and they also may appear droopy, with...

Sorting out implants and lifts
The issues you describe are common in plastic surgery practices. There are basically 3 types of patients that come in for breast restoration after childbirth.
1. The first variety have well shaped breasts with the nipple areola well above the crease below the breast. These people have usually always been small and gravity and looseness have not affected them much. They can have a simple breast augmentation to get to their desired end point working with their surgeon to achieve the look...

Mommie Makeover for your breasts
The scenario that you describe effects millions of women across America annually and is one reason for the marketing phenomenon known today as "Mommie makeovers". Typically, correction of the condition that you describe requires both a breast lift and augmentation using implants. However, since you were excited about your "huge full boobs" during pregnancy, you might be a candidate for a large augmentation, which might correct your sagging without the "lift"...

Perkiness is in the eye of the beholder
Perkiness is not an anatomical definition. What makes a breast look perky or saggy is deterined by a number of factors (i.e. location of nipple, amount of breast tissue below the inframammary fold, the degree of fullness or emptiness above the nipple, firmness of the breast tissue and skin, etc.)
What you shoud do is explain exactly what sort of breast you would like to your plastic surgeon, both in terms of volume and shape. Depending on what you have to begin with, you might need just a...

Implants + a possible lift
The best option to give you higher fullness is to get high profile saline implants. Whether or not you need a lift will be completely dependent on your current breast tissue. Without looking at where you are now and where you want to be, it is impossible to tell exactly what size implants or if a lift is necessary.
But for starters, Saline will give you a rounder and higher profile than Silicone. Plus, you can choose to do a low, moderate or high profile of Saline as well. A high profile...

Breast augmentation surgery.
It is very common in pregnancy that you will go up a cup size or two. Depending on several factors (like weight gain, weight loss, response to hormones, breast feeding), some women's breast will sag or droop significantly after. In order to restore lost fullness to the upper part of the breast, an augmentation is the only thing that will restore that volume. If you have a lot of sagging however, you will need (or at least you should consider having a breast lift at the same time of your...

Perkier, Fuller Breasts and How To Get Them
It depends on what type of breasts you have before surgery. If you have small, non-ptotic breasts then an implant is sufficient. If you have minimal breast tissue and no ptosis, which means that your nipple position is in a good position in your bra then you can use implants alone. If you have sagging breast tissue with breast ptosis then you need a combination of a breast augmentation with a lift, called an augmentation/mastopexy. It is difficult to give perkier, fuller breasts with a...

Getting bigger, perkier breasts
Hello,
Getting bigger breasts and getting perkier breasts may require different procedures, especially if you have had kids. Often after having children, breasts have excess laxity. Excess laxity is often best corrected by a breast lift, while breast augmentation is performed to increase breast size. Getting an excessively big implant to help correct some of the excess breast laxity is usually not a wise decision as the two procedures are designed to accomplish...

Fuller , perky breasts with breast implants-results vary-depends on skin excess, position of nipple
Your question is a good one. It is a common dilemma and it is one of the most difficult situations, as a surgeon to explain to a patient, in my experience. I have a lot to say about it, so sit down now, as my intent is to explain the logical, scientific and aesthetic considerations that must be addressed. The decision of--breast augmentation alone vs. breast augmentation and simultaneous breast lift (mastopexy), are dependent on some key issues which I will outline below, and which I address...
