Breast implants not recommended to correct saggy breasts

Hi, I would strongly discourage breast implants unless you desire more volume. Most women do not know this, but breast implants are heavy and as such can stretch tissues over time requiring yet another lift. Your breasts can be lifted and reshapen using the Ultimate Breast Lift. This new technique was developed using engineering principles coupled with proven plastic/reconstructive techniques to provide women with upper pole fullness without the need of an implant or a vertical... more

Breast Lift Options

Having a breast lift operation involves making a decision to trade an improved breast shape and contour for some (well-placed and concealed) surgical scars on the breast. For the Raleigh breast lift patient who is displeased that her nipples are downpointing, it may be a relatively easy decision. The surgical incisions are strategically placed to be as minimally noticeable as is possible. One component is around the areola, which is usually well concealed by the color difference between... more

Good candidate for breast augmentation with lift

The answer to your questions depends on your personal concerns and your overall goals. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation with a lift. A mastopexy would help lift the nipple-areola complex and improve the shape of your breasts. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best and safest possible option for you

Breast lift procedures improve breast shape

Your breasts have a narrow footprint and are long. I would recommend a vertical breast lift and small implant to give some upper pole volume. The breast lift I would plan would include some reduction of the sagging breast tissue below the fold beneath your breasts.

Narrow sagging breasts and beautiful augmentation

There is a component of tuberous breast to your breast morphology. This requires attention and modifications of technique. The base of your breast needs to be widend and a implant of sufficient base with must be selected. A vertical style mastopexy will likely be needed. I prefer to use a technique that I call cold-subfascial augmentation for tuberous breasts because it gives me the structural control to create a beautiful natural appearing breast with a gently slope... more

Options for a saggy breast

There are basically three options for a saggy breast, lift, implants, or a combination of both. Breast lift is all about nipple position and considering your photo you would be a candidate for a short scar vertical lift to bring the nipple up front and center on the breast. An implant can provide some lift, though only if the nipple is at the level of the breast fold or above. If you wish more volume than your current B-cup, an implant with the lift is a nice option. Best of luck... more

Breast lift techniques have come a long way!

Circumareolar techniques- can be performed for those breasts with a sternal notch to nipple distance of less than 25 centimeters. My favorite techique is the Goes lift with internal brassiere. Lollipop or Vertical scar techniques - can be performed for all sagging breasts up to 35 centimeters. My favorite is the Lejour Technique. It is durable with a great shape (look at my photos in the gallery). Hall-findlay is easier to perform and faster but the shape is not as good. Stay... more
