Breast Lift: Q&A

Would I Be a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift/implant? (photo)

I like the size I was before I had my children and just want a lift/implant to put volume back into them to bring me back up to the 36C that I was before. Would having an implant require a large scar? my sister had a Breast Reduction and she has to scars up and around her nipples in a T shape. Would an implant require the same type of cutting and scarring?

Breast Lift with Implant or fat transfer

Your breast shape could certainly be improved with a breast lift (mastopexy). There are different scar patterns for lifts and the best one for you would need to be decided in person. An implant could also restore volume that was lost after pregnancy. you might also consider having breast volume increased with fat transfer from your abdomen. That could improve the relationship of your breasts to the trunk. An in person consultation could allow you to think... more

Breast Augmentation/Lifting Candidate?

Thank you for the question and pictures. I think you an excellent candidate for breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon (I prefer the use of goal pictures). Best wishes.

You would look best after a lift plus implant surgery

Your pictures show significant lack of volume and droopiness. I would recommend doing a breast augmentation with a lift. The lift would be through a 'lollipop' scar, not the inverted T you may have seen in your sister. this is a newer technique for breast lifts. The size of the implant would be determined by the what you want, and the lift would be something that I would demonstrate at the time of the consultation. The implant is placed through the... more

Breat lift and implant needed to restore figure

Your photos show a lack of volume and an excess of skin. Returning your breasts to a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape and size will require addition of volume (implant) and tailoring of the skin envelope (lift). Pretty breasts derive from good balance between skin and volume. In your case you can be fitted with sizers in the office to determine which implants are correct for your figure. In the operating room your surgeon can place the implants and then... more

Breast lift with implant?

I don't do those two operations at the same time because each one interfers with the healing of the other. Your breasts are way to deflated to consider fat transfer. If you are willing to have big enough implants to fill out the loose skin, you could have just an implant thru a one inch incision in the crease beneath your breast, the arm-pit or the areola for a total cost of $4400.

Would I benefit from a breast lift and augmentation?

You have enough laxity in your breast tissue that you need a full breast lift which will yield scars around the areola, down the middle and to a variable degree underneath in the fold. An implant can provide some volume that will decrease the length of the scars but really only in the fold underneath. I wish you well. Dr Edwards

What is the best breast procedure for me

I think you most certainly need a breast lift and implant. You have significant ptosis, and would benefit from both procedures.

Rosendo Martinez,MD,FACS

Thanks for your recent inquiry.I believe you are a grade III ptosis,and you will greatly benefit from an augmentation mastopexy either vertical or inverted T scars.

Breast lift with augmentation?

Based on your photographs, you appear to be an excellent candidate for the combination of breast lift with augmentation. Your breasts have a fairly common and characteristic appearance that I see commonly. I believe that you would require a fairly "aggressive" lift and a moderate sized implant. A simple peri-areolar type of lift would not be adequate in your situation. You should meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon to obtain information specific to... more

Lift with implants

You are certainly a candidate for the lift with augment and I recommend that you see board certified plastic surgeons to discuss various approaches to this operation. You have also posted about tummy tuck. Given that you have two small children, I suggest to my patients with similar situations that they first have the tummy tuck. Once your abdomen is flatter, you will have a better sense of how large you'd like to make the breasts and your surgeon will also have an impression as to your... more

Candidate for a Breast lift with implants

You look to be an excellent candidate for a lift with placement of an implant. I believe that you would not be hapy with the volume of your breasts with just a lift alone. I would suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, anfd I would suggest a full lift with the anchor scars.Good luck!

Candidate for breast lift and implants

You are a good candidate for the implants and breast lift. Just be careful that if you go real big it will increase the recurrence of breast drooping. You should be quite happy.

Would I Be a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift/implant?

Thanks for the posted photos. Yes you can have a FULL lift with implant. Best to be seen in person by a boarded PSs in your area.

Breast augmentation and lift without vertical scar

From your photographs, you obviously need a breast augmentation and lift. This can be done without the inverted "T" scar that your sister had for her breast reduction. In fact, NO vertical scars are needed at all. The procedure would be done with an incision only around the areola. Within that incision, the implant can be placed and the breast tissue resected and reposition the nipple. The implant, breast tissue and nipple are all elevated in the... more

Breast Lift and Implants

It appears from your photos that you are a candidate for a breast augmentation and lift. The type of incision may vary depending on the size of implant placed and the breast shape that is trying to be achieved (lollipop versus anchor) Best Wishes Dr. ES
