What Do You Recommend? Breast Lift/Aug/Both? (ph

Thanks for the posted photos they are very helpful, My choice a lift+augmentation in combination. Best to be seen in person.

Breast lift, augmentation, or both?

Based on your photos, I think that you would be very disappointed with breast implants alone without a lift. And I also think that subglandular implants would be a big mistake. I prefer to place the implants under the muscle in most patients as a rule, but find it even more important in patients that have little native breast tissue and a thin skin envelope. I would suggest a vetical breast lift procedure with silicone gel implants placed under the muscle. The risk of having problems with... more

Breast lift with augmentation

From observing your photographs it appears that you would need a breast augmentation with a breast lift if you are desiring any aspect of superior fullness. It is possible, if you are happy with your current breast volume that a breast lift using a dermal pedicle could give you a nice, but smaller shape.

Best Option for Breast Surgery?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, a full communication of your goals, and a review of the pros/cons of each option, I think you will be best served with a sub muscular (dual plane) breast augmentation along with breast lifting. I would suggest that you do your due diligence carefully in the process of selection of plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Breast lift procedure

Thanks for the pictures, A side view always needed. It appears that you have volume loss, ptosis and minor asymmetry. A submuscular augmentation and a lift procedure is probably the way to go. A subglandular implant in you in my opinion will not solve anything and may make you look worse. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Breast lift and augmentation

Lifting the breasts and placing implants should restore a more youthful look. An exam in person is key. Good luck.

Breast Aug, Breast Lift, or Both? The Key Indicator is....

Dear kia123- Thanks for the great question. It's a pretty common question, and the key indicator is generally the position of your nipple in relation to your breast fold, or inframammary fold/ IMF. In general, with aging and kids, your breasts lose breast fullness and your nipple position may drop over time. If both happen in a small amount, then you may only need a breast augmentation. However, if you have significant nipple position drop,... more

What Do You Recommend? Breast Lift/Aug/Both?

Although we cannot tell for sure without examining you and seeing where your nipple and the bottom of your breast lies in relation to the inframammary crease below your breast, it does appear that you have significant overhang below this level. Since the bottom of the implant is at the level of the inframammary crease, it will not fill out tissue that is much below this point, and the bottom of the breast will hang off of the implant. If the nipple is below this point, it may... more

Empty breasts

An important landmark which we cannot see is where the fold is under your breast. If your nipples are above this line, then your best choice might be augmentation alone. The nipples are actually about where they should be in relation to your chest, about midway between the shoulder and the elbow. If the nipples are at or below the fold then there might be too much sag causing an unsightly appearance afterwards unless a lift is done. Of course, there is the asymmetry present... more

A breast lift and implants would give you the best results

Breast implants alone do not create a lift. Although implants alone can enhance your breasts, a lift would make them look more youthful and perky. I would recommend a full vertical mastopexy rather than a periareolara lift for best results. breast feeding potential may be slightly decreased as some breast milk ducts will be cut but you should be able to still breastfeed. Some women can't breastfeed regardless of whether they had any breast surgery or not... more
