Breast Implant Exchange. Do I Need a Lift? (photo)

The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. A #mastopexy or breast lift operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breasts without reducing their size. It is the most suitable for #breasts which sag or droop (ptosis) as a result of development, aging, pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss . Some patients will experience better results to restore superior fullness if an #implant is used at the time of mastopexy; better known as #AugmentationMastopexy. Also, a breast lift may also be achieved with current implants if a patient is satisfied with their current size, type and volume. Altogether, the surgery will create an elevated, more youthful breast contour. Also, the nipple and areolae of the desired size and correct height may also be addressed. I prefer to use a #shortscar technique, #LollipopScar or #DonutLift” rather than the majority of surgeons in the United States that use an anchor pattern lift which involve more significant scarring.The best method and #technique for your #procedures will be discussed in greater length during your one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

If you are unhappy with the fact that your nipples are slightly low on your breasts, the way to correct that would be to have a mastopexy, or breast lift.  he trade off is the scarring that is needed to accomplish that.  If you are okay with the way your breasts look currently, there is no need to have them revised.  Entirely up to you!  As far is size is concerned, they can be made larger,but personally, I think they are large enough.  If you go with larger implants, I think you are asking for problems, including further sagging, not to mention the expense.

Hello,

We all want to believe that there is an easy way out, so we put our faith in those that tell us there is.  However, you know that your breast doesn't look the way you'd like, specifically that your nipples aren't in the middle of your breasts, and that is why you've posted this question.  So, don't believe that using some special or high profile or extra large implant using a 'special technique' will circumvent the need for the obvious: a breast lift. 

You should visit at least 2 surgeons who specialize and are well renowned in all forms of cosmetic breast surgery, including breast lifts, reductions, and revisions.These surgeons would, by necessity, be certified by the ABPS, as well as be members of the ASAPS.

Best of luck!
