During a consult, a doctor told me he can take out as much breast tissue as I want him to. Is this safe? Is this normal practice to take out breast tissue? I would like to avoid doing a lift. What implants would you recommend if there is not much breast tissue left? Thank you!!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for your inquiry! Natural breast tissue is removed during a Mastopexy (breast lift). If a Mastopexy is not needed then you can try on various sizes of implants and decide what size best fits your goals. We would love to help you reach those goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon so we can create a surgical plan for you!

Answer: wanting to get breast augmentation to improve shape and fullness, but I do not want to go up in size It would seem counterintuitive to remove breast tissue and replace it with an implant. Exceptions might be when done in conjunction with a breast reduction or lift. In the absence of a good examination or at least photos, it is difficult to provide a meaningful answer to your question

Answer: Breast Tissue Removal Thank you for your question. Removing breast tissue during augmentation isn’t typically standard practice unless there’s a medical reason, like removing fibrocystic tissue or in cases of breast reduction. Removing a significant amount of tissue can lead to scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and potential interference with future mammograms. If your goal is to reshape or add fullness, there are safer and more effective ways to achieve this without removing breast tissue. If you wish to avoid a lift, choosing the right implant can still give you a more lifted appearance. However, it’s essential to discuss your goals with your surgeon to find the safest and most effective way to achieve the desired results.
