I am 39 with three children. I’ve had a hard time accepting my breasts but looking back I imagine they weren’t as “saggy” as I thought. I would still like to have more full breasts. I feel like if I had more volume at the top I would be okay with their position. My concern is that the weight would cause them to become more “saggy”. I worry about a lift with augmentation because I’m concerned of loss of nipple sensation. I’d like opinions on my options and statistics of nerve damage.

Answer: Donut Mastopexy / Augmentation Good afternoon, You need a donut mastopexy (breast lift) as well as submuscular placement of saline or silicone gel implants, depending on your preference. We would figure out the exact size and profile when I measure your chest, we review photos together, and you have an opportunity to try on the implant sizers here in the office! The nice thing about the donut mastopexy is that the scars are well hidden around the outer border of the areolas, there is no vertical scar (yay!!), and I find that this type of lift does not inmterfere with breastfeeding or nipple sensation!

Answer: Bellesoma 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. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular, if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Augmentation VS Lift. Advice? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Unfortunately based on the limited view supplied it is difficult to offer definite advice, but it appears that you would most benefit from implant placement and a lift. The implant will help restore lost breast tissue after pregnancy and weight loss, while the lift will remove excess skin and allow for resizing and repositioning of your nipple into a higher, more youthful, position. Hope this helps
