Mild ptosis. The surgoen said if anything he would lift the one but he doesn't recommend it with the scars. He said dual plane natrelle implants and I think he said 425 because I wanted a D cup ( I know bra sizes don't really match up with impany sizes) I tried it On and it looks ok. I'm 22 8 stone 10 and 5ft 5. I have loose thin skin on top of the breast so he said he could not put the implant above the muscles because I would get rippling. I know implants do not lift but will they improve them.
Answer: Horndeski Method™ 425 cc implants are large, weigh approximately 1 lb each and will descend inferiorly and laterally requiring revision.Your breasts are too low and the added weight will require a lift.Many women refuse lifts because of the ugly vertical scars associated with traditional techniques.I recommend a new technique called The Horndeski Method™.The breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection without the use of implants.If you want implants, they can be placed simultaneously.I always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.22% of women who undergo breast augmentation alone required revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the result.Frequent causes of dissatisfaction are over augmentation and not performing a lift when needed.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implants do not give any lift With that said, I honestly think you should not get a lift since your ptosis is really moderate or minimal, with just breast implants you'll look superb.Dual plane location is an excellent option which I have used for 10 years in my career, however the subfascial plane has many advantages that my patients enjoy the latest 7 years, even in slim or skinny patients.Go for anatomical, cohesive gel and macrotextured implants.

Answer: Natrelle 425, dual plane pocket In cases of mild breast ptosis without adequate upper breast tissue I have also inserted implants in a dual plane pocket with good results. Regarding the implant size, this would be chosen based on your breast dimensions and your preference after trying on sizers, looking at photos etc. Presumably this was done during your consultation. I hope you have a great result.

Answer: Ptosis after BA If your ptosis is mild, I agree with your plastic surgeon. I try not to place scars on a breast unless it is absolutely necessary. Breast lift increases scarring. Ask your surgeon if higher profile implants were used.
