Breast mastopexy/augmentation to achieve perkier look

I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best and safest possible options for your specific case. Provide photos to communicate your goals. Which type of procedures you will benefit from will depend on the severity and complexity of the case as well as what look you would like to achieve. Implants can provide the "fake" look you described with a lift to give you a perkier look. However, it is in your best interest to research a board... more

Fake "look" to Breast Lift

You need to sit down with a board certified plastic surgeon in a face-to-face consultation. I do not know your measurements but remember that a lift (some techniques) can augment the upper portion of your breast but your breast would be smaller. Dr. ES

Want fake looking breasts

If you don't want larger, implants not recommended. The fake look is achieved by superior pole fullness and a high volume to surface ratio, exactly the opposite of your current situation, a high surface to volume ratio. This is difficult to achieve for a sustained period of time (after post op swelling resolves and skin relaxes to accommodate the tighter envelope resulting from mastopexy). If your skin elasticity is poor, the fake look is even more difficult or... more

Re: Breast lift with implants for a "fake" look

Although you have a small amount of glandular ptosis, the overall shape, size and nipple position is quite good and I would be inclined not to recommend any surgery. If you are adamant about proceeding, then I would perform a subpectoral augmentation with a moderate plus silicone prosthesis roughly in the 300cc range while simultaneously performing a small vertical reduction. In essence this is transferring the breast volume to a superior position and removing the glandular ptosis. The... more

Breast augmentation with implants for the "fake" look

With your breast appearance the best results will be achieved with a bra. IF you are seeking surgery, the fake look (not recommended) would best be achieved with a vertical mastopexy, reduction and subglandular placement of a large high profile implant. Again, I would urge you to reconsider. In addition to a higher rate of unfavorable outcomes with combined surgical procedures, you are setting yourself up for numerous subsequent surgeries in the future for management of long... more

Breast fake look

The 'fake" look usually requires implants, but upper pole fullness will drop a bit even after implants are placed. Bras push the breasts up to give the "fake" look.

You can't have it all...

In order to have a fake look with excess upper pole fullness, you need a HP implant and this will make you bigger regardless of the lift. The only way to minimize this is to reduce your breasts at the same time. Be sure you really know what you want because sometimes you really can't have it.

Breast augmentation fake or not, know what you want

It is difficult for any surgeon to know just what an individual is looking for in terms of breast size and shape. Even your best friend will not know you well enough to tell you what your breast should look like. If you really want a 'fake' look be prepared to bring along an example during your consultation so your surgeon has a clear idea of what you are looking for. That way you too will get a better idea during your visit if this is a realistic goal. Best of luck... more

Breast Lift w/ Volume for "Fake" Look

Thanks for the posted photo. I agree with ALL the previous expert posters, that your breasts are attractive and of a nice size. But from the sound of your posting I believe you will get surgery no matter what! To the end, with you understanding that there is an unrealistic component to your request, I would FIRST do ONLY a implant to slightly increase your size and give a slight lifting. DO NOT put scars on your breasts PLEASE!. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091 more

Breast Lift for Fake Look

Based on your pictures, a breast lift alone will give you a nice result. Adding an implant is sometimes recommended with breast lift, if there is an absence of volume. However, you have plenty of volume, so I would not recommend implants. If, after your lift, you decide that you do want implants, you can have this done as a secondary procedure. Good luck.

See a shrink

You are not asking for anything realistic. Your breasts are large. A lift will only give you scars and then they will droop again. As I have said before, if you want them to look fake, stuff socks in your bra.

Breast augmentation expectations have to be realistic

I don't think your requests for a breast enhancement result are realistic. You have nicely shaped breasts currently. A 'fake' look, which some women want, could be achieved by using a small implant to create some additional upper pole volume and roundness. This maneuver will certainly make your breasts 'larger than they already are'. You don't want larger breasts. A breast lift will improve your areolar position asymmetry, and might improve... more

Breast lift

I would recommend doing a breast lift and try to explain to your plastic surgeon the look you are trying to achieve. Perhaps a moderate implant that will fill the upper pole can be placed at the same time as the lift. ITry to find some pictures of the look you want so your plastic surgeon can have some idea.
