Breast Lift and Large Implants, Is this Possible? (photo)

Hi,

There's a new technique called the Ultimate Breast Lift that makes an internal cone with your own tissue that simulates breast implants. The new breast mounds are attached permanently on your chest so as to minimize downward migration with time.  Breasts are firm and perky without the dreaded vertical scar. Incisions are made around the areolas and in the natural crease of the breast mound. In a short time these incisions are almost invisible. Once breasts are lifted they can actually appear larger than what they are. Large implants are never a good idea. They will only stretch you out in the long run. Look into it. Best regards, Dr. H

Heavy and large breasts may lead to recurrent sagging and may require the removal of a small amount of breast tissue to achieve an optimal shape and size. A #BreastLift or #Mastopexy is designed to improve the shape and position of the breasts without reducing their size. A Breast Lift in addition to Implants may be helpful to support the weight of the implants. Getting #BreastImplants without a #BreastLift is usually said to be mistake by many patients who reflect back on the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. Additionally, an implant with lift may be useful to re-position the nipples which may have been affected by #ptosis or drooping. Both procedures can typically be done together in the same surgery.asts are reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position.

Based on your pictures you need a lift. Implants can be added, however 800cc implants sound too big given that you already have a good amount of breast tissue.  Also remember, bigger implants are heavier, and thus will sag quicker.  Bigger implants are not the treatment to get perkier breasts.  Breast lift is.

It is possible to have a lift to correct sagging and large implants to add volume. However please note that larger implants tend to accelerate the rate of sagging, therefore you should wear a good bra to delay this.

In general, if you have breast ptosis (or sagging of the breasts) and you want to have your breasts be lifted and filled, one cannot have significantly larger implants unless they have significant ptosis or breast tissue or you will compromise the blood supply to the nipple or the breast skin. In general, it is better to do the lift and use smaller implants so that the goal overall is to lift and to have superior fullness. That looks much more natural. To push it to an extreme size is not prudent and can then involve wound healing problems including skin loss and loss of nipple sensation.
