What type and size of breast implant should I get? Do I need to get a breast lift with my implants? My goal is to have similar looking symmetrical breast. I would like them to be higher and a little bit bigger. Symmetry and a youthful appearance are my main objective. I have had several consults but given different suggestions. I am not sure what is best for me. I am 5'9 and I weigh 197 lbs. I have broad shoulders and wide hips. My breasts have deflated after having children. I plan to have breast augmentation soon.

Answer: Breast lift with augmenation- breast implants
Based on the photograph you provided, it appears that you have a lack of fullness in the upper poles and slightly large areola. There is also some laxity of the lower poles of the breasts consistent with pseudoptosis, but this is best assessed on a side view photograph or in-...
It looks like the implants are bottoming out. This can only be helped with a revision of the lift. After waiting 4-6 months after surgery the tissues should be ready for a revision. Unfortunately there are no other options here.
Chest muscle spasms are expected to occur for 3 to 4 weeks after the surgery. This is because your muscles are adjusting to the implants. This may cause a pulling and stretching feeling in your breasts. Pain and swelling should get better by week 4. Good luck with your healing process.
