My doctor feels I'm "borderline" for whether or not I need a lift. He suggested 415 or 450 under the muscle implants. He said that was the minimal size I could do without a lift. During my last visit he suggested that I try 500 on. They felt large to me. He said it would give me more of a lift. I feel better about the 415 or 450 but now I'm second guessing myself. I'm 50 years old, 5'4" and 125lbs. If I don't get the lift will my breasts look terrible in ten years.

Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! I think the answer really depends on your goals. I would suggest taking B&A photos of patients that you like to your surgeon and getting his opinion. That can help guide the conversation. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Implant size - lift or not? If you are truly concerned about the appearance of your breasts 10 years from now, having a lift with a smaller implant would be the better option. I suspect a 500cc implant will take you beyond your desired volume and the added weight will likely accelerate the otherwise gradual sagging to your breasts. Discuss you options further and inform your surgeon about your concern regarding appearance in 10 years.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
