Considering a breast augmentation - Is my desired look achievable?

Question

Im 26, 5’4, 159lb (goal 120-130) my highest weight known was 276. My breasts look terrible now after weightloss but they have always been hideous. I remember hating the way they looked as soon as they started coming in. Ive always dreamed of having the perfect, perky, natural, looking breasts that everyone desires. Is this even possible for me? Or am I destined to look botched no matter what? Ill schedule a consultation closer to my GW but Im just curious. Me vs ref pics from google

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The technique I recommend is a lift using 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 can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thanks for your question. For your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants to address the droop/sag, add volume to your breasts, and reduce the areolas. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

First, congratulations on your weight loss journey!
I think you are a good candidate for a two stage strategy beginning with: Stage 1 - dermal sling mastopexy to place the nipples in the ideal position, use your existing breast skin to add support to your breast mound, and improve symmetry; Stage 2 - breast augmentation to restore volume in all quadrants. 
Your goal photos are helpful, but not realistic. Those patients had very different starting breast shape and tissue type. They did not need a lift and shaping prior to augmentation. That said, you can still achieve a beautiful shape. It will take more time, more surgery, and require a skilled surgeon.

Congrats on your weight loss! In person exam is essential. Based on posted photos- it appears that you are not a candidate for breast augmentation alone. In order to achieve perky breasts - a lift/reshaping/mastopexy is required . In the right experienced hands you can expect a more youthful, more rejuvenated breasts. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, congratulations on your weight loss.  To get the best result, you will need a staged lift followed by breast augmentation 3-4 months later.  Your wish breasts do not have a lift, you will be best served with an anchor scar lift.  You definitely can still get great fullness. Good luck at your consultation.
