Breast Lift Alternative for Large Breasts?

Thank you for the question.

Although it is difficult to give you good advice without direct examination,  many patients in your situation  decide to have breast reduction/lifting performed  followed by a second stage breast augmentation.  During the first stage procedure the breasts are lifted and reduced to place  them on the appropriate place on the chest wall;  I describe this as similar to creating the foundation of a building.

During the second stage procedure,  breast implants are used to  increase the breast size;  the difference is  that the breast volume is where the patient wants it to be ( for example, more superior pole fullness).

In person examination is necessary for precise advice;  a thorough discussion of patient's goals is a critical.

I hope this helps.

Dear Ch3ryl
You ask a very good question!  The breast implants will make you breast even larger and probably more ptotic.  The Breast lift is a good procedure - with good deep layer support the scars should be minimal.
