Breast Lift: Q&A

Breast Lift with Augmentation Results? (photo)

I am looking to find a Doctor (I live in Los Angeles but can travel for the right Dr.) who can provide the results I am looking for. I am curious to know if the results I am looking for are realistic and what specific type of lift would be best to achieve those results. The second picture is me and the first is a model who has the breasts that I envision having myself. Thanks for any help!

Breast lift vs augmentation

Thank you for your question and photos. The model on the left seems to have an augmented breast and it seems that she is bottomed out even in the back leaning pose. You have grade 2 ptosis or sagging of the breasts with a poorly rounded lower pole. I would suggest a short scar breast lift for you to achive similar shape (without the bottoming out). The trade off is a vertical scar and a scar around the areolae. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Good... more

Can I have these breasts? (photo)

While the model photo may appear flattering, as it is a side/oblique view (oblique on right, side on left, but neither is perfect side or oblique), please look closely at what you're asking for. Her left breast lacks superior fullness, and her implants are "bottomed out." This is skillfully concealed with hair and shadow by the photographer. You should expect a better result than she has, hopefully with more projection of a nipple areola complex centralized on the breast... more

Breast Augmentation/Lifting and Realistic Expectations?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your picture, I think you will be a good candidate for breast augmentation/lifting surgery. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.  Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work... more

Breast Lift with Augmentation Results

A glamour photo will always look better than a clinical photo, and better than reality. The patient in the photo seems to have implants that are centered rather low on her chest resulting in a nipple and areola that are aesthetically too high. You would do well to see a plastic surgeon in consultation, look at some real before and after photos taken with similar photographic technique. That surgeon will suggest an appropriate sized implant to accomplish your goal, and most certainly... more

How to achieve fuller and perkier breasts

Hi, You may not realize this, but your 'desired look' is a complication from over dissection of the inferior pocket allowing the implant to 'bottom-out'. Not a pretty look. Notice the nipples are pointing to the sky. Only a matter of time before the model needs revisionary surgery. If you are looking for perkier-fuller breasts, I suggest a breast augmentation with a Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. This technique lifts and anchors your breast tissue directly over a submuscular implant to... more

You can have the breasts that you desire

Yes you can have breasts that look like this . I suggest looking at many views ( of photos) and considering what many of the other surgeons have said about the lower pole fullness and "bottoming out" . I do have a group of women who like this look and can certainly provide it.

Breast lift

Your case is pretty straightforward and there are many experienced plastic surgeons ( especially in. L.A. ) who can give you a great result. I would perform a vertical lift with implants in the mid 300 cc range. Go on a few consults and I'm sure you will find a surgeon who is capable and with whom you feel comfortable.

Breast Lift with Augmentation Results?

What bothers me is that the photo posted of the desired result DID not haste a lift. You need a lifting with the incision that can be seen. So very hard to offer the same result that you desire. Best to seek in person consults to hear it in person..

Breast lift is needed to provide the desired nipple elevation.

That's interesting. The model has implants that have settled, making her nipples ride high, and yet you like her breast appearance. Clearly you need a breast lift to elevate both your breasts and nipples. The vertical technique works best. Most women have at least small implants at the same time to give them upper pole fullness. That would be my recommendation for you as well. I have attached a link so you can view some results of this combination. more

Will A Breast Lift With Implants Achieve My Goal?

The Benelli mastopexy with small implants (300 ccs or less) with liposuction of your axillary breast tissue should give you an excellent result. One of the many Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, in the L.A. area should certainly be able to meet or exceed your requested results. Your job is to have consultations with at least three plastic surgeons, see their before and after pictures, speak to some of their patients who had... more

Hi There,

Here's a link to the board certified doctors in your area who perform Breast Lifts and Breast Augmentations. You also have the option to search by location.

Hopefully this helps!

I should clarify a couple things. The model has her shoulders thrown back dramatically. What I like best about her breasts:
1. Even if she wasn't leaning back I believe her nipples would be above the mid-line of her breasts. I would like my nipples to sit just above midline. I am just learning about the concept of bottoming out, why does it happen and what can be done to prevent it? Since most of my sagging has occured at the top of my breast I never really thought about the bottom stretching but obviously that has ocurred as well. I like her nipple size and projection.
2. Breast fullness - I would like breasts that are less rounded on top and fuller on the bottom. Breasts that are like bowls with nipples smack dab in the middle don't look natural to me. The models breasts seem a touch flat, I would like a bit more projection (I am not sure if they look better when she doesn't have her shoulders back like that.
3. Breast shape on bottom half is nicely rounded on my model which I like. I have looked at a zillion (well, maybe not quite that many) breast lifts where the bottom of the breast is oval, squared off etc which is a look I don't care for.
4. I was a 34d before kids and I am still a 34d after I roll them up (ah, a little humor). I don't want to be bigger than a D. Can this be done? How can material be removed(obviously skin is excised) One Dr. Suggested lipo?

I really appreciate the responses! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

That woman in the first most definately has implants! (coming from a doctor?) The girl obliviously had very small breasts before since they are so tight and with lots of fullness under the nipple. As small breasted woman have a high nipple placement more commonly and get this type of look after. You look like you will have great results looking at you now. Goodluck!
