Implants after lift?

I'm in my late 30s, post lift and some weight loss. I have 36 c but want a little firmer and rounder look. Is it okay or even recommended to do procedure?

Breast Implant improves lift

Placement of a breast implant can definitely improve the result of a breast lift. In addition to filling our any remaining loose skin, which firms up the breast, the implant will create more fullness in the upper breast region (think cleavage). A lift by itself is usually successful in raising the whole breast up and correcting sagging, by tailoring the looser skin covering. However, very often an implant is required to add some volume and increase fullness in the upper... more

Can Breast Implants be placed after a Breast Lift

Breast Implants sound like they would be a great option for you. In San Antonio, I usually wait at least 6 months before placing breast implants after a mastopexy (breast lift). Generally speaking, implants are a great way to get more upper volume. Good Luck!

Breast Implants Contribute Shape As Well As Volume

It is not unusual to consider breast implants to assist with shaping the breast to a fuller appearance. Breast lift may restore the position of the breast and nipple, but often times the upper pole of the breast may not be as full as desired. Different shape implants help us to more precisely contour the upper chest to the shape desired.

Breast implants often compliment breast lift.

The breast implant is often used to create the roundness and fullness, particularly in the upper aspect of the breast,after breast lift. In many patients, the upper pole of the breast becomes hollow after a lift over the course of a year or so. It may be necessary to re-tighten the skin if enoung weight loss has occured, but it is best to seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Combining Mini Ultimate Breast Lift with implants

You desire larger than 36 C breasts and a rounder look and firmer skin tone. Implants can increase the size and give a rounder look. You may be a candidate for Breast Augmentation combined with a Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. This technique hides the scars at the areola-skin junction, reshaped the breast increasing upper pole fullness, cleavage and increases firmness. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Breast lift and implants

It is perfectly fine to have implants placed after you have had a lift done previously. Any tough up work on the breast liftnsuchnas scar revisions or further tightening of the skin could also be done at the same time. It is a commonly done and straightforward procedure.

Implants after a breast lift (mastopexies) can restore fullness and improve your breast shape.

After a breast lift, you always have the option to modify your breast size with breast implants. I suggest that our patients wait 4-6 months before placing the implants into a lifted breast. This gives your breast scarring (internal and external) time to soften. Your size and shape expectations must be discussed with your plastic surgeon. He (she) should be able to guide you with implant selection. Best Regards,

Implants After A Lift Are A Natural

Dear Cheri, Thank you very much for your excellent question. I am glad to see you are returning to see the plastic surgeon who did your Mommy Makeover. He or she would be the exact right person to discuss the particulars with. The breast lift your plastic surgeon already did corrected, I am sure, at least 3 of the 4 elements of a ptotic or droopy breast. The elements are: 1) the areola is too big; 2) the areola is too low; 3) your breast was hanging on... more

I have read both doctor comments and agree completely about consulting first with a physician. In fact it most likely be with same surgeon who did my 'mommy fix' surgeries. While I know pictures would help, I'd like to avoid that but I wanted to ask in more detail.. I still have lots of tissue (obviously, if I'm still getting a C cup out of them), what would procedure do? Remove tissue to make room for implants or simply add smaller implants to what I have? Or could it be either option?
