Breast Implant Options for Saggy Breasts Without Breast Lift?

I
infoseeker26Nov 20, 2009

Hello, I'm considering Breast Implants without doing a Breast Lift. And wanted to know the alternatives/options for women with saggy breast that wish NOT to perform a breast lift. I'm looking to achieve a full D maybe BABY DD look.I'm a 34 full saggy B/C. My breast width is a 12", I'm 5'7", 138lbs, rib cage 29". I'm interested in silicone. Should women in my situation go mod+ or HP(High Profile) for the upper fullness & do saggy breast women have to go higher in CC to fill out the breast?

Of course, all breast implants can and eventually will leak over time. They may last 13-15 years but all need to be replaced sometime in the future. SALINE IMPLANTS will automatically tell you when they leak as the breast will deflate so the patient will know almost immediately. Fortunately ,...

Dear Michelle, It is an overwhelming response that there is no evidence of implant rejection. There are surgical risks with any surgery and there is an incidence of capsular contracture of 2% to 5 % (this is not rejection).

The implant manufactures have a recommended range for filling of saline implants. Assuming your implants are not inflated to maximum recommended volume, it should be a safe and relatively easy procedure to add 25cc of saline. I, however, would not recommend this procedure. A 25cc increase in...

Hi, Thank you for your question. Silicone implants, whether it be Mentor's Memory Gel or Allergan's Naturelle, do usually feel more natural that saline implants because they are made of materials that feel more similar to your own natural breast tissue. Saline implants can feel natural as well,...

Can Breast Implants Look Supple and Not Stiff? The answer is yes! However, this is most likely in patients who already have adequate breast tissues who undergo modest augmentation.
