I'm 20 and have 36DD breasts that hang much lower than I'd like. I'm considering a Breast Lift, but when I look at my breasts in the mirror and consider what I know about the procedure, a lift doesn't seem to be the right procedure.From what I can tell, removing skin from anywhere on the bottom half of my breast would just make my problem worse; the top half is what needs tightening, but this doesn't seem feasible.What are some suitable options and how much scarring do they have? How long might they last on breasts my size?
Answer: Lift Patterns Vary Based on your photographs, there are many options for breast lift. The design of the lifts are very complicated, so moving things higher may require a scar in a position which you might not think, but ultimately will give you the best result. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see which lift is right for you.

Answer: Breast Lift / Breast Augmentation/ Breast Implants/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants Thank you for your question. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a breast lift to bring the breasts up and reduce the size of the areola. The type of incision needed is best determined by physical exam.I perform a liposuction breast lift/reduction known as Breast LipoLift®. This specialized technique spares more nerves and blood supply as well as removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast, I then remove the excess skin to tighten the breast and create a more proportional silhouette with better cleavage. This procedure is also more accurate than traditional breast lifts or reductions since I use 3D measurements to uncover size asymmetries. During the procedure I remove exactly whatever is more from the larger side to get as close to symmetry as possible. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. Over 90% of my patients are out to dinner the next evening taking only Advil and Tylenol if even needed. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It has been proven to have less complications than traditional breast reduction (please see my Breast LipoLift® page web page) and should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Is Breast Lift Recommended for Sagging Dd Cup Breasts? Dear lilylily, From your image provided it seems that you need a breast lift to create a more youthful, and "perky" breast shape.Also, from your picture it appears that you may already have implants. If not, then a combination procedure, such as a augmentation/mastopexy procedure may be exactly what you may need to achieve your stated goals of upper breast fullness and shape. I hope this was helpful,Sergio Pasquale Maggi, MD, FACSAustin Plastic Surgery Centerdrmaggi.com

Answer: A breast lift A breast lift may help you. The surgery involves removing excess tissue then lifting the nipple to a higher position to give you a perkier contour. This would give you more fullness in the upper pole. Implants can also be used to create more fullness.

Answer: Candidate for a lift? I believe you are a great candidate for a lift. Also, it appears to me that you may be a D-cup rather than a DD, so check with bra fitting experts to confirm that you have the right size.
