Answer: Augmentation Mastopexy Hello,It is wonderful that you lost so much weight. However, you are not a candidate for breast augmentation unless it is combined with a breast lift. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in all types of cosmetic breast surgery, not just implants.Best of luck!

Answer: And what CC implants should I get since my breast sit to the side of my chest? Thank you for the question. Congratulations on your significant weight loss. Based on your history and photographs, you will likely be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Discuss your concerns regarding the "side boob fat" with your plastic surgeon; most likely an extension of the breast lift procedure (or upper body lifting) will be necessary to treat the area of concern. Ultimately, you will do well select your plastic surgeon carefully and communicating your goals, questions, and concerns. In other words, careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Generally speaking, patients undergoing this combination operation should understand that it is significantly more complex than breast augmentation surgery only and that it is associated with a significantly higher risk of complications and need for additional surgery. It will be important that you educate yourself regarding the pros/cons/risks/complications associated with breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Make sure that you also learn about the pros/cons associated with sub muscular versus sub glandular breast implant positioning. You will find a lot of information on this website and on the attached link. Also, generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation/lifting surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. The use of temporary intraoperative sizers with the patient in the upright position makes selection of the best breast implant size/profile relatively easy. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to patients who have experienced significant weight loss), helps. Best wishes.
