Breast Lift or Lift with Augmentation after 60 lb. weight loss? What type of lift procedure do you recommend for me? (photos)

Many
women refuse the anchor lift because of the ugly vertical scars.For that reason, a new technique was developed
called The Ultimate Breast LiftTM.Breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher
on the chest wall and more medial to increase cleavage.This technique maintains nipple sensation and
the ability to breast feed while avoiding the ugly vertical scars.The weight of the breast is transferred to
the underlying muscle resulting in long term stability.This is the best procedure for your breasts
and is superior to the lollipop, lollipop with implants or anchor.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Most women who experience #sagging of the #breasts following weight changes are potential candidates for a breast lift. A #mastopexy or breast lift will improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. Those with breast #sagging or #ptosis experience improvements with the surgery. Some patients will experience a better shape to their breast if an implant is used at the time of #mastopexy. An implant will restore the volume that is often lost with weight loss. I prefer to use the short scar technique, “#lollipop scar” or “#donut lift” rather than the majority of surgeons in the United States that use an anchor pattern lift which involve more significant scarring. Although the “anchor-shape” or inverted “T” incision is still more popular in the United States, it represents an older technique with extensive #scarring and a less optimal result in many cases.

Thank you for your question! It is normal for the breast to lose its
firmness and perkiness over time, which is accentuated with age,
pregnancy/breast feeding, weight gain/loss, and gravity. This ultimately
results in ptosis, or sagging, of the breast with a “deflated”
appearance. Women often seek the mastopexy, or breast lift, procedure to
regain the previous youthful appearance of her breasts and desire that
uplifted and perky appearance of her breasts. Women report increased
confidence, self-esteem, and femininity once she achieves this desired
shape and fullness. Breast lifts may or may not be performed with
implants – the implant would add increased size but also greater
fullness in the upper pole of the breasts which creates more cleavage.
The implant itself will add these things - given your photos, a breast
lift alone is a reasonable decision. It us also common for the areola
to enlarge and stretch during these changes. The lift will also serve to
raise the nipple areolar complex to its appropriate position above the
breast crease and at the most projecting portion. In addition the areola
size will be decreased, which is often desired by the woman.   Given your photos, I believe that you need a breast lift at the least.  The decision for the implant will be yours.So,
the changes of your breasts are normal and will continue to occur. The
decision for a breast lift will be up to you...depending on how much you
are bothered about the shape as well as your concerns. Consult with a
board certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast surgery and s/he
will assist you in deciding if a mastopexy will be the right decision
for you. Breast procedures to simply improve shape or appearance
typically are considered aesthetic procedures and do not qualify for
insurance coverage. Thank you for your question! Hope that this helps.
Best wishes for a wonderful result!
