Removal of implants and short scar breast lift

I would downsize the implants, and perform a short scar breast lift. Even with the downsize of implants, the lift will help your breasts look fuller, and more natural.

Breast Augmentation

Upper pole fullness of the breast usually requires an implant. Even breastlifts often need an implant to finish off filling the upper breast roundness. I hope this info helps.

Breast surgery for asymmetry

From the photo you showed, it appears that you need a mastopexy (a breast lift) and probably a reduction with more breast tissue being removed on the right breast than the left. The photo you show of the model looks like she simply had breast implants and started off with very small breasts. This is a totally different situation than yours. It may be difficult to give your breast that look, but it does appear that you are an excellent candidate for a breast lift and reduction, and you... more

Photos versus reality

The lady in the picture has: breasts that are mostly implant and tight skin. You have breasts that are natural tissue, with a more relaxed skin envelope. They are two very different things. You have a natural look, she does not. Sadly, there is no operation that can transform one into the other. While a breast lift could help tighten the skin, it does not typically give that round "implant look" to the upper part of the breast, once the swelling has gone... more

Unrealistic expectations

It is not possible for you to achieve the result shown by the photograph on the left. In my opinion you would benefit from a small breast reduction where the breasts are lifted as well. This would give your breasts a fuller appearance in the upper portion.

What to do.

Your breasts will never be exactly like the ones in the photo. I believe you would benefit from a lift and small reduction to enhance the shape of the breasts. Unfortunately this will require incisions with some scars. You have to keep this in mind before any treatment. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Breast enhancement by resculpturing breasts

You need resulpture of your breasts. Presently, your breasts are too large for your body, they sag and your areolas are too large. You will need reduction of areolar circumference, breast lifting and reduction as all in one operation that I like to call RESULPTURE of breasts.

Breast lift

You certainly have enough breast tissue. The girl in the picture has large implants and that is not something you can achieve with your own tissue. However, a breast lift alone could make them oerkier. Good luck

You can't always get what you want...

Your body won't allow the result you show. Your best plan would be a breast lift plus an implant. But the girl in the photo has no breast tissue and big unnatural implants. Very fake looking.

Media and plastic surgeons

You currently have a natural look. I cannot understand why you would want the obvious fake look of the woman in the left photo. You can tell those are breast implants and not real breasts from across the street. It is a very unnatural look and she probably has capsular contractures as well. I guess that is the power of television and mass marketing to make the public believe whatever you want them to believe politically, economically and what is considered good looking. My response to... more

Looking like Photos

I agree that it is not realistic to try and transform you into someone else. Every person has different anatomy and your's is much different from the woman in the photograph. I thing would would benefit from a submuscular silicone implant and mastopexy at the same time. This will give you more upper pole fullness, more cleavage and address your breast ptosis and asymmetry. Good luck.

Realistic

You and the photo have very different bodies and if you expcet to look like the photo you are not being realistic. You will need a lift in addition to an augmentation in order to give you additional cleavage. Her cleavage is very exaggerated and it's all implant as she looks like she does not have much natural breast tissue vs. you

Change in breast shape

You can not have the result of the person with implants. She does not have the same body as you and she has implants which give the fake rounded cleavage. If you want a lift that can probably be accomplished for you.
