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?
Answer: Breast augmentation alone or with lift? Thank you for your question. Based on your photos and desired results, it looks like you would be best served with a combination of breast lift with augmentation. A breast lift reduces the skin envelope while reshaping the breast tissue into a more youthful and perky shape. Implants are added for more volume, The parameters of both the breast lift and the position of the breast implants should be designed to keep the implants relatively low while lifting the breast tissue and nipple to sit directly over the implants. Many techniques exist in breast surgery, and combined lifting with augmentation is especially tricky. The key is working with an expert, board certified plastic surgeon to get the best plan for you.

Answer: Breast lift with implants Thank you for your question and pictures. It is difficult to tell without an exam or measurements but I agree that an implant will give you more projection and upper pole fullness. You may benefit from a breast lift as well to elevate the nipple if needed and to tighten the lower pole skin but a preop exam would be helpful to assess this.

Answer: Wanting perky breasts Hello, breast implants will usually significantly improve upper breast fullness and improve the apparent nipple position on the breasts, However, you PS is in the best position to discuss the result that would most likely be achieved.

Answer: Augmentation Mastopexy Hello,The photos taken with your arms in the air, which pull your breasts upward, still indicate you have sufficient ptosis to warrant a breast lift and implant combination. You are definitely not 'close to needing a lift', and implants would not be good for now. Instead, you will be disappointed you with your droopy, unappealing result. If you want round, full breasts with optimal shape and nipple position, go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that are expert in all types of cosmetic breast surgery, not just implants. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation and lift candidate, some advices: Thank you very much for enquire.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, I realize that you have very sagging and small breasts. In this regard, you need volume (implants) and projection (the lift): Breast Augmentation w/Breast Lift.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 350-400ml will be excelent on you, to fill the breasts properly.Finally, to perform the breast lift I recommend a Periareolar Round Block Breast Lift ("Benelli mastopexy"), which has an unnoticed scar around the areola, and if we see (in the surgery) that we can't obtain adecuate projection just with the Benelli Lift, we have to perform a "Lollipop breast lift".Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
