Breast Augmentation: Q&A

What Sort of Procedure Do I Need For Breasts With Sagging and Volume Loss?
I've lost quite a bit of weight so I have little volume in my breasts and they sag. I'm considering a lift and potentially a small implant to fill them out. I wouldn't mind them being slightly larger, but I want them to still look natural. Not the basketballs taped to my chest sort if thing. What do I need to look for, and around how much would it end up costing?

Breast Lift with or without Implants
Hi there-
It sounds like it is already clear to you that you will need a breast lift to improve the position and shape of your breasts.
Whether or not an implant would also be advisable would depend a lot on your ideal appearance and your surgeon's preferences.
Much of this will also depend on things that can only be understood after a careful physical examination.
Your best bet is therefore to find a skilled and talented surgeon you like and feel you can trust FIRST, and...

Volume Loss and Sagging Breasts Require Implants and Lift
If your breasts are sagging and have lost volume you will need implants and a lift. If you know your current size and are approximately a 34 to 36 around the chest, each 200 cc's would be 1 cup size increase. The next issue is raising your breast tissue and your sagging skin. It is best to avoid any vertical scars since these cannot be hidden. Two approaches are, circumareola or circumareola combined with inframammary incision. This can be done to give you a...

Mastopexy with implants to correct sagging and volume loss
A breast lift corrects sagging and breast implants can restore volume. Both breast and breast augmentation can be safely performed at the same time. To be sure how much of a lift you need and what size implant would fit you well, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Breast augmentation and lift
Augmentation mastopexy surgery is a potentially challenging one which requires thoughtful preoperative evaluation and planning, and careful attention to detail in the operating room. Many surgeons have traditionally performed breast augmentation and mastopexy surgery in stages, usually mastopexy first followed by augmentation at a later date. In the recent past more and more surgeons have adopted a non-staged, single surgery approach to augmentation and mastopexy, and that is what I propose...

Breast lift and implants an option for volume loss and sagging breasts
Considering the situation you are describing, many women need to consider having both augmentation with implants to replace volume, as well as a lift to address the sagging. A natural look is very achievable with proper implant selection. These procedures can be done separately or together. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to help guide you.

Sagging Breasts with Volume Loss May Require a Lift as well as Implants
Weight loss and childbirth are the two main causes of breast volume loss and sagginess. In order to correct both of these problems, you may need a lift in addition to breast implants. Both of the procedures can be done simultaneously, and the implants don't have to be huge. In fact, you can choose the size of the implants with your plastic surgeon and you can even try on samples to give you an idea of how large your breasts will eventually become. For the...

Breast lift and implant for sagging and volume loss
The breast lift needed will depend on the position of the nipple relative to the breast fold. The implant will help fill in the upper part of the breast as a 'scoop' can remain even after breast lift without replacement of breast volume. If the implant must be small, a subglandular implant may give a better marriage between the breast and implant than a submuscular one.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Breast contouring after weight loss
Breastlift may or may not provide adequate volume after massive weight loss. A good test to simulate the result is to tighten and fold in the skin of the breast to see how much breast tissue there is. A small breast implant is an option. Another option is fat grafting to the breast, which is a very nice adjunctive procedure to breast lift. You can get some nice, natural, enhanced results with fat grafting. You do not burn a bridge by getting the breastlift and opting to have a breast implant...

Maybe only implants
It all depends on the position of your nipple in relation to your inframammary fold. At the least you need implants to replace the volume, then you need to see if you need a lift. A consultation is needed here. Cost depends on the procedure and doctor.
