Needing some professional advice. I am booked for mid April for my BA and maybe lift? I had a consult 2 yrs ago for BA and BBL to get pricing but I was still bfing then and knew I wanted BBL first. I did BBL June 2021 and am now ready for BA. I was 30 lb heavier then and my breasts were much fuller due to bfing. That day I was told lift would be needed. Yesterday he told me lift was not needed but if desired he could do. I am an A now and wanting a D. I am conflicted and want good results!! Help

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers Fat transfers will not bring your breasts closer together and increase cleavage. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast lift Dear momof3131619, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.
