Answer: Aug Mastopexy Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revisionary breast surgery. After reading some of the surgeons answers below, I am very disappointed. Your anatomy dictates the surgery that you will need - period. I have revised way too many patients who were told that if they go larger, then they do not need a lift-mastopexy. This is the ultimate in short sided surgical planning. It only works if we were to live on Mars. If you look at it this way; you are already drooping, then you place a large heavy implant in your breasts. What you think will happen? I have seen this so many times that I wrote an editorial called "Poor Practice". @My website. The other complication that I fix to often is someone who needs a lift/mastopexy and is told that they can get away with a doughnut mastopexy. Ultimately this results in an enlarged areola and a poor-shaped droopy breast. The good news is that with a skilled plastic surgeon with a properly performed breast augmentation with a lollipop mastopexy, you should be held to have an excellent result. Remember that breast lifting is an art form and not all plastic surgeons perform this equally. Critically evaluate your perspective surgeon's online galleries. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi & thanks for your question! Based on your photos, you may need a lift with placement of implants to give you fullness. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast Augmentation vs Breast Lift I would defiantly recommend a breast augmentation. This will also lift your breast to some degree. The amount of lift achieved depends on the size of the implant chosen. The larger the implant, the greater the lift. Meeting in consultation would allow a better assessment of your breast and the desired look you would like to achieve.

Answer: Recommend a lift If you choose to get a lift your nipple and breast would be about 2-3 inches higher than where they are now. An implant will give you the fullness you are looking for. If you put the implant in without the lift, they'll sit exactly how your breast sit now. Imagine them as is but fuller and bigger. If I was your surgeon I would recommend the lift. You'll be happier with the result.

Answer: Breast Lift Needed With Augmentation? Thank you for your question regarding whether you'll need a breast lift (mastopexy) during your breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty. In your specific case, since you want to be a DD, I do not think you will need a breast lift. With that size augmentation. the augmentation should provide the lift. In cases like yours, breast augmentation will auto-rotate the nipple-areola complex, resulting in a fuller breast that does not need to be lifted. Therefore, in my opinion, I do not think you will need a breast lift during your breast augmentation. If you decided to go smaller, say a small C or even a full C, I would imagine you would need either a 360 periareolar lift or a lollipop or vertical mastopexy. Therefore, in your case, the larger your implant, the less likely you will need a lift. Thank you for your great question regarding whether you'll need a breast lift (mastopexy) during your breast augmentation. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: A lift may be recommended It’s difficult to give you an opinion without the side view, however it does look like your nipples may be located below your breast fold. For this reason, you may need a breast lift. The lift can also improve symmetry.
