I'm scheduled for a consult with a surgeon next month but in the mean time, I would like to get as much an idea as possible about what I'll be looking to have done. I've included photos of my breasts and also of breasts that I find appealing. My goal is not to have round globes in the center of my chest. I would like a bit of natural slope but with much more fullness. I don't want to go huge but big enough (specific, right?) Thank you for any input!

Answer: Augmentation or Augmentation Lift Hello,Your breasts do demonstrate at least pseudoptosis, and perhaps more; only physical examination will be able to determine that. In my hands, I prefer to lift the breasts in these borderline situations, as I know that it won't be long that the implants just settle into the soft tissue envelope making for increased pseudoptosis with little upper pole fullness. Unfortunately, so often we focus on a photograph of a patient and her results, and we don't realize that this is literally a snapshot in time. What we don't realize is that result is always in evolution; what looked good then doesn't look so good in a few months or years. I urge my patients to look towards the future too, to eliminate the need for repetitive reoperations and complications. In this vain, I encourage lifts when necessary, the use of inframammary incisions for implant insertion, proper implant sizing based on anatomic measurements, and the use of textured, anatomically shaped, highly cohesive, form stable silicone gel implants. Best of luck!

Answer: Lift or just augmentation? It appears that your nipples are above the level the crease below your breasts. I'm not sure that you would benefit from a lift. Of course an in person examination is required for definitive recommendations.If you're unsure about having a lift, it's important to understand it can always be done during a second procedure. There may be some additional cost if you have a second procedure, but separating the procedures gives you the opportunity to see how you look after just an augmentation. Many patients will be happy with just an augmentation alone, and they won't have the extra scars from the breast lift.

Answer: Pseudoptosis? Lift or just augmentation? In my opinion- the best result in your case will be achieved with a mastopexy ( breast lift) and implants placed sub-muscular.
