35 year old female, 5'6", 135lbs post 2 kids/Csections/breastfeeding. Wondering if i can get away with a lift or would you suggest an implant and a lift.
Answer: Breast Lift Candidate Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift. A breast lift would elevate the breasts to a higher, more youthful position. You can also consider a breast lift with implants. The breast implants would restore fullness and volume to the upper pole of the breasts. It all depends on what your goal is. Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: If you wish to be bigger and fuller in clothes then implant is needed as well 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.

Answer: Would I be able to achieve desirable results from a breast lift alone or should I consider implants as well? Based on limited photo - you appear to be a good candidate for a lift. You have sufficient volume- if you are happy with your current volume- there's no need for implants. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and discuss your options in detail.

Answer: Would I be able to achieve desirable results from a breast lift alone or should I consider implants as well? Hello @865161771191, thank you for your question. You can achieve great results by raising the base and improving the overall proportion. This will create overall harmony. The lift can be performed through an L shape incision scar rather than an anchor. This allows me to reposition the mammary tissue and enhance the projection of the upper pole and media areas. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Considerations Thank you for your question.It sounds like you will be going with a breast lift and this is great choice. The question you have is whether you should add an implant at the same time as the lift. You also have an additional option that includes adding an implant at a second operation. You could also consider fat grafting.
