Most Cost Effective Breast Lift and Augmentation Procedure?

I need a Breast lift and augmentation, I have way way over-sized areolas (more than 2 inches in diameter). My nipples are VERY shy, nearly inverted. I have NO cleavage as my breasts are far apart. LOL! Can I just start over?

I definitely want Breast Implants. Any suggestions on what I should do that would be cost effective? I want to cry. I'm so miserable.

Breast lift and augmentation pricing

The price of a breast lift with implants may vary considerably depending on the type of the procedure the surgeon and the facilities used. When considering this surgery, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well experienced in this combination procedure. The price will vary depending on whether saline or silicone implants are used, whether it is a small lift or a great deal of work to recontour the breast and the type of facility necessary for the surgery.... more

Types of Breast lift or Mastopexy in Los Angeles

You do definitely need a lollipop or an inverted-t breast lift with implants or augmentopexy. considering that you are already big, you should know that you do have a reasonable chance of re-sagging and needing further breast lift in the future.

Breast implants and lift

Based on the photos, I would use a small implant to help create cleavage and a vertical (lolipop) lift to reduce your areolar diameter and produce a better shape. It is wise to seek the opinions of one or several plastic surgeons. An augmentation Mastopexy is the procedure that provokes more medical malpractice lawsuits than any other procedure in plastic surgery. So choose wisely. A personal referral from a friend or family member holds more credibility than... more

The most cost effective augmentation lift procedure.

I must say the most cost effective way is do it once and get good results. These are not the easiest operations and I see many patients in my office who had the procedure done elsewhere and who are dissatisfied. Find a plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in breast reshaping who can get you the best result in one operation. Even if it costs more initially it will be cheaper in the long run.

Combined breast lifts and augmentations

Thanks for sending in your photo - it really helps to see your starting point! You clearly need a full (not just a periareolar) lift and implants to get the changes you want. These can be done at the same time but works best in experienced hands. Your starting point limits somewhat the kind of result you can get but you should have a substantial improvement that will make you very happy.

Breast lift and implants together

There are a couple of things to consider with implants and lift. Doing them at the same time is definitely more cost-effective than doing two separate procedures, though some plastic surgeons prefer that. The reasoning is that there are so many variables when combining the operations that the odds of needing a revision later are higher. However, scheduling it as two separate operations doesn't seem like a better way to go, at least to me. If you choose a plastic surgeon with a lot of... more

Breast Augmentation/ Lifting Surgery

Thank you for your question. Each surgeon’s fees will be different depending on many factors. Factors such as the certification of the surgeon, the experience of the surgeon, if the surgery is performed in the office or in a hospital / outpatient surgery center, if performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and who is administering the anesthesia. Don’t choose your surgeon ONLY by price, make sure they can achieve your goals. Look for a surgeon... more

Breast implants and tuberous breast deformity

Hi, you appear to have tuberous breasts, which are very common. As you developed, your breast tissue herniated out, rather than grew around as in a typical breast. As a result, all of that breast tissue which would look great on your chest is now in a small tight space, and has fallen forward, creating that sagging appearance. I would recommend seeing a surgeon who has experience with tuberous breasts. During surgery, the tissue would be redraped and implants placed. The areolae can be... more

Breast Augmentation and Lift

I am not sure what you mean by cost effective, but what you do need to know is that a breast lift is not a permanent fix. An implant can be permanent but a lift is not. Having said that, you do need a lift and I dont know quite what your measurements are as that does help but judging by your photo, you definitely need more than just an incision around your areola. Most likely you will need what is call a full mastopexy or the inverted T or the anchor scar, however you want to call it. ... more

I got a quote for 5900 which included a 10 day stay at there recovery house where he nurses care for you 24 hours a day, bath, meals ect.. I think your breast are a good size and you will need a lift. you probably wont spend more then 4000 if you go out there. Good luck
