Breastfed for almost 2 years. Some doctor have said I can get away with just implants since I'm borderline. Main concern is the space between my breasts and want to fill out flat upper pole. I don't mind my nipple placement. I would like to avoid lift due to scars and possibly another pregnancy in future. Would I be able to get away with just implants? And are 350cc implants too big for a 5 ft and 100 lb person?

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. 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. 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Is Possible But, Know The Possibilities You appear to have Grade II ptosis which is our fancy way of saying borderline drooping. With moderately large implants and a dual-plane technique you should get a good result using high profile silicone or extra-high profile silicone gel implants. The incisions could either be inframammary or periareolar. That's the good news, and for someone who wants to avoid a lift and "doesn't mind" placement being a little low, it usually works out fine. Contrary to what many of the other doctors have said, I do not think you will be able to completely correct your flat upper pole, since the implants will sit relatively low. This is not necessarily bad if you are aware and okay with that appearance. On the other hand if you truly want excellent correction of the upper pole and implants that don't sit relatively low, I would consider a breast lift. You should make certain to observe the difference on Vectra 3D imaging which can show the changes with specific implant styles and sizes on a three dimensional image of your chest. It's a great way to help make this difficult decision.

Answer: Borderline lift? Getting away with just implants? (Photo) Photos do not indicate that a breast lift is required; inserting the implants in a dual plane should provide the upper pole fulness you desire. A property executed breast implant surgery should have no impact on breast feeding in the future as the ducts should not be disturbed.
