I am a size the 34DD and have significant sagging of my breast. I am removing my implants and doing a breast lift. Some doctors claim the internal mesh will help give me better support. Other doctors say they have had to do a lot of revisions due to problems with an internal mesh. They don't recommend it. Please share your thoughts on this subject.
Answer: Breast Lift If you are removing the implants and doing a lift, you likely do not need an internal mesh. This adds to the cost of the procedure significantly and it is doubtful it has any long term improvement on recurrent ptosis.

Answer: Internal mesh with a Breast Lift Inserting an internal mesh, such as Galaflex, will create a longer lasting breast lift result. This mesh is made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (a naturally occurring biopolymer), which is used safely in the breast as a resorbable porous scaffold. The internal mesh is inserted in the inferior pole (bottom of the breast) and over time is absorbed by the body. As the internal mesh is absorbed, the body deposits scar tissue in the pattern of the mesh, resulting in a permanent internal bra. Using the internal mesh will help structurally support the breasts and maintain a better result by working against time and gravity.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast lift Dear LizbethP, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
