A: Breast lift alternatives.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! 1) You are already very big. I think breast implants are not a good idea. 2) I personally would not do a breast lift on you unless you agreed to a small reduction. Breasts this large are just too heavy and will sag again, and they will not age well. 3) The good news is that... more

Dear Ch3ryl You ask a very good question! The breast implants will make you breast even larger and probably more ptotic. The Breast lift is a good procedure - with good deep layer support the scars should be minimal. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

A: Implants for a DD?? You must be kidding...

By Steven Teitelbaum, MD - Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon

The purpose of breast implants is to make breasts larger. In some cases, the process of filling up an empty breast appears to perk it up, but that is not the primary purpose of a breast implant.

A: Breast Implants Will Add Weight and Size to a Large Breast

By John LoMonaco, MD - Houston Plastic Surgeon

Your first statement was you are a DD cup and large, albeit saggy. Implants will possibly give you some more upper pole fullness but will add even more weight to your breast, and promote more ptosis over time. I offer patients such as yourself a LeJour breast lift using a lollipop scar, and re-arrange... more

A: Bigger + Saggier

By William B. Rosenblatt, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Sounds like you need a breast reduction - if your breasts are that large, usually only a lift will re sag in no time. Implants will make you bigger and y ou will sag faster.
