Best Breast Implants for Saggy Breasts?

I would have to see you in person but sometimes a lift is not necessary. This is what I do to maximize lift with a breast implant alone:- use silicone cohesive gel implants. The more cohesive the better. I am not sure if these are available yet in the US, but the Allergan Inspira Truform 2 implants are ideal- use high profile implants. The more projection you have, the more lift you will get- have the implants placed in the submammary pocket (under the breast itself). You should have a pinch thickness at the top of your breast of at least 2 cm

I think that high profile implants work nicely in patients with moderate sagging who want to improve the breast shape but do not want a lift.

Based on your photo it's not easy to determine whether you would benefit from a breast augmentation or a lift. I would need to examine you and take measurements to help determine a specific plan. Having said that, it does look like you have a lot of volume loss especially in the upper pole of the breast, commonly seen after childbirth and breast feeding. If your nipples are in a good location, you would be a great candidate for a breast augmentation. 

         It’s not unusual for
women to have both breast hypoplasia and breast sag following pregnancy. When
breast sag is severe, it must be addressed to optimize the surgical result. In
some cases, placing the implant on top of the pectoralis muscles can provide a
solution for this problem. In the majority of cases, placement of the implant
beneath the muscles in combination with breast lift, surgery can provide an
excellent result.

 

         A variety of options
exist for breast implants, but in the majority of cases, smooth walled round
silicone and saline implants are preferable. It’s important to consult a board
certified plastic surgeon who can perform a physical exam and formulate a plan
for treating your condition.

There are options and no right or wrong options. over the muscle will achieve the greatest amount of "filling" of the "deflated" appearance however, there is a tradeoff of not placing the implants under the muscle (softer upper pole contour, ;lower rate of capsular contracture, easier mammogram interpretation).

Based on your pictures, it looks like you would benefit form an augmentation mastopexy (implants and lift). You have deflation of your breasts and need the added volume from implants. You also have ptosis and asymmetry of your breasts which can be improved with a mastopexy. I prefer silicone implants since they have a more natural feel. Good luck with your surgery.

Many women
lose volume in their breasts as a result of pregnancy. Based on your photo, you
would benefit from a breast lift with breast augmentation. There’s no specific
implant type that’s better for saggy breasts. A breast lift will correct your
sagging by removing any extra skin and elevating the breast position, while
implants will restore volume to your breasts. In terms of placement, there are
benefits to both submuscular (below the muscle) and subglandular (above the
muscle). Some surgeons recommend subglandular implant placement for better
projection and boost. An in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic
surgeon can offer you a better sense of your options.

If you're going for a lift and implants, then the implants will be selected based on your natural breast shape and measurements. Both under or over the muscle can achieve great results when the procedure is done properly, and you have the freedom to choose saline or silicone. 

Thank you for your question. It appears from your pictures that you are a good candidate for breast implants with a lift. Without a proper exam it would be difficult to assess what size implants you will need and what type of lift would be needed. I prefer gel implants placed under the muscle and try to choose a mastopexy procedure that will limit the amount of scarring. Good luck in your surgery!

Breast Implants can make breasts fuller, but they will not make breasts perkier or eliminate sagging. An in person consultation would be required to determine whether or not a breast lift, in addition to an augmnetation would be a good plan for you
