Will I get round/perky breast with implant only, no lift? (Photos)

AI
Always improvingSep 24, 2016

36 year old, med build, 5'3", 148 lbs. 0 children. Current bra size is Btwn full D & small DD. Was a DDD. Lost volume in top of breast since weight loss & aging. Consult discussed being close to needing a lift but implants should be good for now but a lift likely needed in the future. Discussed silicone implants mid 400 cc's up to 500 cc's. Wondering if the size of implant will give me the round and perky breast I'm hoping for or will the weight of the implant pull down the shape of my breasts?

When a patient asks "is a ---cc implant too big?" that is not a very easy question to answer. That is because what is considered too big varies from person to person, region of the country, and obviously varies from males to females! ;)  I have my patients try on the implants and they usua...

It is hard to tell without seeing pre-op photos. You may have developed capsular contracture. I'd recommended contacting your surgeons office for an exam. Best of luck to you!

Breast augmentation without the lift would probably be suitable for you, based on your photos. Dual plane sounds suitable as well, but you should trust your surgeon’s recommendations following your in-person examination. A correct breast implant size and shape would give you the lift you need w...

I appreciate your question. Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image....
