Am I a candidate for uplift with implants? (Photo)

Question

I am 22 years old and 270lbs, I've always been really insecure about my breasts to the point that I fear being intimate with anyone. Is this procedure right for me and if now what would you recommend? Thank you in advance!

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Sorry to hear that you feel that way but yes if this is something you have been considering for some time and think this will improve how you feel about your breasts than its time to consult with a plastic surgeon. Together you can discuss ideas of what you would like in appearance and whether or not that can be achieved with and implant or without. Be sure to do your research and look up before and afters along with wish pics of someone with similar body type.

A breast lift is designed for women who want to achieve a perkier breast shape, with more fullness in the upper portion. If you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts you may be a candidate.

You have a valid fear, but you may want to consider whether you’d like to be with someone who dislikes the appearance of your breasts as they are now.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

You may be a candidate for an uplift of mastopexy.  You do not necessarily need implants since you have ample breast tissue.  It is important to be close to a BMI of 30 for proper healing prior to surgery.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

From your photograph, you appear to have plenty of volume so you do not need implants but definitely need a lift.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Brest lift will reshape them, placing them higher and perkier.

Implants can be added for more upper fullness.

The combination will drastically change your breasts. Trade off is T scars which are permanent.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to better discuss your options and expectations.
