Advice for Breast Augmentation Redo After Pregnancy?

June 26, 2009
Asked By:MIYALOVE in ALPHARETTA,GA

I currently have 350 HP breast implants, but I had a baby and the now sag. My nipple is just above the crease and I have about 1-2 inches of breast underneath.The bottom portion is full but I have no upper fullness. I never did, even after the first augmentation. My plastic surgeon says using a larger implant (500-600 HP) will fill the breast back up and make them high and tight like I want. He says no to any type of lift (I'm Black, so maybe he's worried about scarring). Is this a sensible solution? What would you suggest for a patient like myself? A Breast lift or have Breast implants? I am a big girl 34-27-46, 5'6". Thanks.
