Breast Lift for upper breast roundness?

Can a breast lift create upper breast roundness, and if not, is there a way to also have an implant without augmenting breast size? I want a round, full appearance for my existing B cup.

A: Breast lift with Implant without Increase in Size

Armando Soto, MD

Hi there- It sounds like your goal is to have breasts which have a more youthful shape, with fulness in the upper pole, but that are not significantly larger than their current size... This can be achieved in most women, but requires a very sophisticated approach, the success of which is highly dependent on... more

A: A Very Different Opinion

Steven Teitelbaum, MD

I have a very differrent opinion about your question.  You asked quite specifically if you can have an implant without increasing size.  The answer to that is "no." An implant augments your breasts, plain and simple.  Any implant small enough to not noticeably augment your breasts... more

A: Round fullness for the breast

If you do not want more fill then a breast lift would be the best answer for you provided that your breasts are sagging. If you want more fill and roundness, then an implant is the way to go.

A: Breast implant is your best bet

Sirish Maddali, MD

The upper pole can be filled best with an implant. Auto-augmentation procedures can be done, but are difficult to do and may not be properly done in all surgeons hands. You should seek out someone who does that regularly. However, upper pole fullness is possible with a smaller implant along with a lift. That... more

A: Sizes and shapes of implants will be important

W. Tracy Hankins, MD

In this setting, you will likely need an implant to create the upper pole fullness that you desire.  It is very important that you be very specific as to what you are trying to accomplish with the surgeon you choose.  In other words, if you want a round look, or cleavage which is present in bathing... more

David Shafer, MD

 Yes, implants are often used to augment upper pole fullness during breast lift surgery.  Usually, a large implant is not necessary and make a nice difference.  The other option is auto-augmentation, by using the tissue that is normally removed during a lift to augment the upper portion of the... more

A: Upper breast fullness can be achieved with properly performed breast lift.

George J. Beraka, MD

Hi! 1)  In New York City, we do a breast lift INTERNALLY, raising the breast tissue up and not relying on pulling the skin.  This gives you good long term upper fullness. 2)  If you want EXTRA (really not natural) upper roundness, then we do a "plus/minus" operation, where some... more

A: lift eith implants

Robert W. Kessler, MD

There are mastopexy techniques which manipulate your breast tissue to add volume to the upper pole of the breast but these techniques do not create long lasting upper pole fullness like an implant does. A small implant at the time of the lift can give reliable fullness to the upper pole of the breast without... more

A: Roundness not natural

Robin T.W. Yuan, MD

In general, roundness in the upper part of the breast is not natural; it ia usually created by a push-up type bra, body positioning, or by an implant. Depending on your anatomy, there are lifts that can shift tissue to the upper position of the breast but usually not the degree an implant can. In order to... more
