Do I Need a Lift? (photo)

I have been to two Doctors here in Turkey and one said no I don't need a lift and the Breast Implant will give me a more natural lift and the other doctor told me that even if I didn't get the procedure done with him to please get a lift or else I won't be satisfied. I am a 26 yr old mother of one and I plan on having at least one more child.

You would do

What is most important to you? Being larger size or more "uplifted"? You have some "tissue deflation" as all women do after pregancy and a breast implant can give added volume back to improve this and add fullness. If you want to breast feed with your next child then I would only do the implant and wait for the lift until after the next pregnancy. If this is not a big deal and you know you want to be lifted and only favor a small implant then I would do the lift and small implant... more

Breast Implants Plus a Lift

Breast implants alone can correct certain degrees of sagging. Based on your pictures it appears that the entire nipple-areolar complex and a good portion of the gland rests below the breast fold. This signifies that implants alone will not yield a desired result but rather what's known as a "double bubble" deformity. This is where glandular tissue "falls off" the central projection of the implant. Most patients will find this unacceptable. I strongly suggest you... more

Do I Need a Breast Lift?

Hello. From your pictures it appears that you will need a Breast Lift. If you plan on having a child more than three years in the future you can do the surgery now. Otherwise, wait until you have the child to do the surgery. The reason is that pregnancy causes changes to the breasts which will alter the results of a Breast Lift and Augmentation. These changes will necessitate revision surgery which will cost you more money. If you have other questions, a consultation with a board certified... more

Lift?

I believe you would benefit from a lift and volume replacement with an implant. You could do a lift alone but will lack volume. An implant alone will not lift your breast adequately. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

A breast lift reshapes the breast tissue into its optimal position

Hello, I think you would be served best by the combination or breast augmentation and breast lift. Your existing breast tissue is positioned lower than idea with respect to the ideal breast position. An augmentation would place the implant higher up on the chest compared to where your breast tissue is currently located. The end result of an augmentation without a breast lift would be your breast tissue hanging low off of your breast implant. All the... more

Breast Lift Needed?

Thank you for the question and pictures. I think undoubtedly you will be much better off with a breast lift along with breast augmentation surgery. The results of breast augmentation alone will be aesthetically unacceptable. Breast lifting involves some amount of skin excision. The skin excision serves to “tighten up” the breast skin envelope. How much skin needs to be removed will depend on each specific patient's situation. In other words, some patients... more

Do I Need a Lift?

Thank you for your question and for the attached photographs. I tend to agree with the surgeon who recommends a lift. There were 2 measurements that you can check yourself that indicates that a lift may be beneficial at the time of the breast enlargement. The distance from the top of the breastbone, which you can feel in her lower neck, his greater than 22 cm. The bottom of the areola, the pigmented tissue around the nipple, is below her breast fold. I can't tell... more
