I am considering of having a Breast Lift with Implants, however I want to be very well informed before I make a decision with my surgeon. I am doing some research about the breast lift techniques along with the type of implants used. I would like to have different opinions in order to get an idea about the best procedure for me. Thanks!

Benelli breast lift (circular scar around nipples) works very well with implants.

Hi. 1) You look like a great candidate for this approach. 2) The base of your breasts looks a little constricted. So the vertical (lollipop) lift is not a good idea because it narrows the base further. 3) In my opinion, the inverted T operation is almost never indicated for a routine lift.

I think this will give you the best results as opposed to a... more

Breast lift and implant options

An exam is vital especially to determine exactly where your inframammary crease is and how long is the distance from the crease to the lower areolar border. These factors determine your options to a great degree. Basically you need an implant for volume and fullness and you need to determine with the doctor which "profile" will work best for you based on the "look" you want. Next you need a lift and in my opinion not just one with a periareolar scar... more
