I'm a little over 9 months post-op. Had 22 year old breast implants removed & had a breast lift at same time. I was in pretty bad shape, but based on conversations & photos, I expected better results. I knew I'd be smaller, but thought I'd be lifted, tight & full... not flat, saggy, deflated with nipples looking sad, concave & pointing upward. What is the best way to have beautiful full breasts & nice shape preferably without implants? Fat transfer? 2 lift?
Answer: Revision It looks like you may benefit from a revision to achieve more upper pole fullness, as your nipples are located above your breast fold but the majority of your breast volume is still below.. An implant may also help.

Answer: Revision mastopexy with fat grafting will be a good solution Thank you for your question. There is still a lot of tissue remaining in the lower pole. A revisional mastopexy that removes more lower pole tissue and makes the areola more circular is needed. Sunken upper pole and central part will require fat grafting.

Answer: What is my best treatment option now for fuller breasts & better nipple position? Hello @Cute221440, thank you for your question. Please remember that the the capsules must be removed as well to prevent a future inflammatory response. That said, you could benefit from a breast reconstruction with your own tissue. It is almost always painless, the scar is L-shaped. There are no scars in the cleavage area, and the aesthetic result is satisfactory, stable, and consistent. Due to the BRALAN (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) Technique, the anatomical shape and projection of the neckline are independent of the volume. If you are considering surgery, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast lift You would, very likely, benefit from lollipop type of lift to get your nipple on the top of the brest mound. In same cases fat grafting over upper pole and medial aspect of breasts may imrove shape and size. Good luck.

Answer: Breast lift Dear Cute221440, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
