I am seriously considering breast augmentation, but I would like to avoid having a breast lift for various reasons. Could you please provide feedback on the best type of surgery, whether it's submuscular, dual plane or subglandular? Also, I would like to get as much of a teardrop shape as possible. Bringing my breast size to a small D. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape, position, widely separated and have poor cleavage. Breast augmentation alone will not solve your problem. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, you breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. Dual plane give the most natural look. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
