I asked my doctor for "perkier" breasts but feel like they are still riding low on my body (4 months post-op). I also requested to be a C cup but I am now a 32DD! (Previously had been a 32/34 B cup). I had a Periareolar lift on my left breast and Implant only on right breast. My main reason for getting a lift, which I explained to my doctor, was to look good in a t-shirt without a bra (however my nipples are still too low to do this). In addition, will a second lift cause a lot more scarring?

Answer: Breast lift and implants
In order to achieve a perky moderate sized breast in your condition, a more agressive lift will be required and this will involve significantly more scarring. The original condition is more likely related to your long torso, low set breast crease and prolonged nipple to fold distance. The overall position of your breast on your chest is difficult if not impossible to truly change. However, the position of the nipple on the breast can be rotated with relatively small scar if this is your true desire.

Answer: Breast lift for perkier breasts Cheekysmiles, it seems like your surgeon has used large implants in an attempt to avoid the need for a breast lift. I am not sure why he chose that route, it may have been in an attempt to avoid scars of a more extensive lift. However, now you do need a more extensive lift. This would involve adding a vertical scar from your areola to the breast fold under your breast. Although it has more scarring than just doing a periareolar lift, it is much more effective in reshaping and lifting your breast. When you see your surgeon, make sure he is a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (the only board in US that can certify plastic surgeons) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (the only board in Canada that can certify plastic surgeons). Then ask to see his before and after pics of patients like you, who had implants and needed a significant lift. Sincerely, Martin Jugenburg, MD
