Breast lift option

Dear Kia, Although, I understand you wish to be larger, please consider the following. I have done countless breast procedures in my time and have come to one conclusion. Breast implants are eventually disfiguring. They ultimately stretch your tissues regardless of where they are placed. Women who have undergone a breast lift with implants return to have yet another lift because they have been stretched out once again-only they have an even larger problem than before. A breast lift if... more

Breast lift options

Based on your frontal photographs alone you have 3rd degree ptosis on your right breast and 2nd degree ptosis on your left breast. I would like to see profile (side) photos to verify this. Also, your right breast is quite a bit larger than your left. It appears you have quite a bit of breast tissue present, just displaced inferiorly. You have many options available and I would suggest you talk with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with breast procedures... more

In my opinion, you require a full lift on both sides. It is important to place the nipple at the highest point of the implant and only a full lift will achieve this for you. However, there are many different opinions as you can see from the comments. Look at before and after photos of breast implant with lifts and see which ones you like. see video

Breast lift at time of augmentation

I agree with Dr. Johnson; you only need the lollipop lift with implants- your skin is not too loose, so the anchor scar may be more incisions than necessary. Good luck!

Most expert posters chose a full lift based upon you information and photos. I agree in theory but recommend only in person examination with a boarded PS.

What Type of Lift Would I Need?

I am a big fan of the lollipop breast lift. This lift will cone the breast, narrow the breast base and raise your inframammary fold. This contrasts with an anchor-style lift which flattens the breast and causes the fold to drop over time. It also results in an additional scar in your crease. Good luck!

Type of Breast Lift?

Thank you for the question in pictures. I think you will benefit from a “full” mastopexy augmentation procedure. The incisions involved will be placed around the areola, vertically, and possibly horizontally (short). Based on experience, I would suggest that your first concern should be obtaining the best results possible (scarring concerns should be secondary). Most patients undergoing this procedure will accept scarring as long as their overall goals... more

Minimal scar breast lift (circle around the nipple) works very well with implants.

Hi. 1) Judging from your pictures, I think this "doughnut" type breast lift is all you need for a good result. The implants themselves help correct the sagging. 2) The best implants are round, smooth walled, moderate PLUS profile, cohesive silicone gel implants. And they must go over the muscle to correct the sagging. Implants under the muscle do not help to take up the excess skin. see video

What kind of a breast lift do you need?

The first thing you need to understand if you are concerned about scars is that there WILL be scarring, regardless of the procedure. A "donut" lift, which only goes around the areola only gives you scars around the areola, but is limited in the effective lift that you will achieve. A donut lift is more limited in nature than a "lollipop" lift, or an "anchor" lift, both of which are more... more

Thanks for posting pictures. It makes the questions and answers much for informative for everyone. Based on your pictures, I would suggest a full mastopexy - lollipop and anchor incision. Additionally, the placement of a small implant at the same time will help with upper pole fullness in your breast. You can talk with your surgeon about different sizes and profiles to meet your needs and your anatomy. Good Luck.
