Would a higher CC implant allow me to achieve a more lifted appearance without actually having a lift?

B
BBxHApr 26, 2020

I am having a mommy makeover and can't decide if I want a BA with a lift. The lollipop scar scares me and I feel like I have a good amount of tissue to get away with just the augment. Would a higher CC implant allow me to achieve a more lifted appearance without actually having a lift? I want my breasts to have a very natural look with a natural drop. Thank you in advance!

Hello and thank you for your question.  I try not to insert urinary catheters when I'm placing breast implants (with or without a breast lift) because they increase the risk of infection.  All my patients are NPO for 8 hours but can have sips of water as needed, with morning medications for exa...

Hello again Gisselle.  Your nipple scar can be addressed during a breast augmentation surgery, but there is always a risk of scar recurrence and further nipple sensation changes.  In terms of the breast augmentation itself, I would first have a detailed discussion with you to clearly define your...

Are there any implants that don’t have a silicone shell?

Brian C. Reuben, MD

Thank you for your question and photos.  Overall the breast has a nice shape and fullness, but the lower pole is a little “tight” or mildly “hypoplastic”.  To really round this out, an implant will be best.  For often a slightly lesser fullness or roundness, fat grafting can be a great tool, ...
