I had a breast lift done in May & I am unhappy with the results. My nipple placement is good but my breasts have fallen & look heavy in the bottom & my stretch marks look very deep again. I am considering an aug to get some upper pole fullness and correct the shape. My ps says I will need 375 hp. I am an 'empty on top' DD right now and am 140lbs and about 5'5. Will an implant make me have a lot of extra projection or just 'fill in' the areas with less tissue? Will I look unnaturaly large?
Answer: Breasts have dropped after breast lift Thank you for your question.Large, heavy breasts are likely to drop and often drop quickly. Adding a breast implant might just make that problem worse.Smaller and perkier lasts longer than bigger breasts. To see what might be right for you, see two or more board certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation. I hope this helps.

Answer: Is an augmentation a good solution? If it is just the shape, then I would revise the lift. The added implant weight has the tendency to cause the bottoming out effect sooner.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the results you would expect. Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Is not sure a breast augmentationWill deliver the results you want. The distance from the areola to the infra mammary fold appears to be long. If it's greater than 6 cm a secondary mastopexy may give you better results in placement of the breast implant that in my opinion would make the breasts look excessively large.

Answer: Is an augmentation a good solution? Thank you for the question and pictures. Exactly what operation you will benefit from will depend on your specific/personal goals. Therefore, you will find that online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough help to be truly helpful. Best to be seen by board-certified plastic surgeons who can discuss options with you in front of a full-length mirror. Certainly, breast augmentation surgery will increase breast size; some further “tailoring” of the lower breast skin may help improve shape as well. Again, best to discuss your specific goals and concerns with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. In my practice, I find the use of goal pictures as well as computer imaging very helpful during this communication process. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Breast lift and implants I think you should talk to your plastic surgeon about possibly using mesh to support the implant. Based on what you have said, you are going to likely bottom out because of your skin. The implants will drop into the lower half of your breast. I would consider a mesh sling to support the implants and hold them high. You would need a revision of your lift to maintain the correct nipple position.
