I am 5'0" and right now weigh 143 lbs. My body fat % is 35. I lost quite a bit of weight two years ago, then gained some back. I definitely plan on losing weight before, but I really want to get a Breast reduction, Breast lift, then get Breast implants. Small ones of course. Is this possible? And how expensive do you think this could get? I am a 38 DD, and they sag quite a bit. They are heavy, and make it hard to work out and enjoy my life. I would like to be about a C cup. But NATURAL looking.
Answer: Simple, Safe Solution. Breast Reduction. A breast reduction will reduce DD breasts to perky lifted C cup breasts. A breast lift would be included. Insurance would cover many of these. Implants are not mandatory, and a reduction by itself would certainly be lower cost than a reduction followed by a lift.

Answer: So many Choices so little time With all of the talk of implants, reductions and lifts it can be a little confusing sometimes to figure out what you really need. I usually tell patients that they want to be close (within 10-15 lbs) to their goal weight before undergoing surgery unless they really need to do surgery for medical reasons. The reason is weight loss more than 10-15 lbs increases the risks of losing some of the benefit of your other surgeries. I usually tell patients that if they like the size of their breasts in a good supportive bra that they don't need an implant they only need a lift. If you are bothered with chronic neck and back pain then you may want to consider a breast reduction which can help with many of these symptoms.

Answer: Breast reduction This is a great question, and one that many patients ask me during their consultations. Many women seeking out a breast reduction want to make sure that after the surgery their breasts are full and perky. A breast reduction surgery does include a lift so your breasts should be higher and perkier than before surgery. Most breast reduction patients also have a lot of breast tissue, so after the surgery their natural breast tissue will give them full breasts. For some patients I recommend just a reduction, as they have enough tissue to create full breasts. It is also possible to have implants put in in the future if you want more volume. I would need to examine you in person to determine which course of action is best for you. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Reduction with Lift A #mastopexy or breast lift operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used for breasts which sag or droop (ptosis). #Sagging of the breasts may occur with normal development for some women, or as part of the aging process. Pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss are other conditions which increase breast ptosis. Some patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an implant is used at the time of mastopexy. The procedure can also be combined with a minor breast reduction to reduce the breast width if desired. The surgery will create an elevated, more youthful breast contour. Also, the procedure will create nipple and #areolae of the desired size and at the correct height.The costs for #breast surgery will vary by the Surgeon's expertise and experience; cost for anaesthesia and operating facility; and the geographic location you have the procedure. Estimates can be obtained here on RealSelf , PlasticSurgery.org or Surgery.orgA #BreastReduction procedure is commonly covered by #insurance though insurance criteria are becoming more and more restrictive. Some practices do not accept insurance. However, ask the staff to assist you in obtaining pre-authorization so that you can attempt to be #reimbursed for out of pocket #expenses.

However there are other ways to accomplish this at the time of your Breast Lift/Breast reduction. If you have been considering a Breast Lift, Reduction or improving your appearance after breast augmentation but are not comfortable with introducing artificial material into your body, you may want to look into the benefits of breast augmentation with fat transfer. An alternative to breast implants is fat transfer also known as fat grafting or lipoinjection. This technique allows women the option of enhancing the appearance of their breasts without the potential problems of saline or silicone implants such as hardness, rippling or rupture.Who is a candidate?Any woman who is healthyWomen with sufficient body fat for the procedureWomen considering breast augmentation who wish to be one cup size larger or lessWomen who have had breast augmentation or reconstruction but who lack fullness or have contour concerns.
