I had a consultation with a PS for a breast augmentation, I was informed that for augmentation to look good i would also need a lift, otherwise my nipples would be too low. I have a bit of extra skin on the top of my breast and have that deflated look as result of a recent weight loss (175lbs to 138lbs, 29yrs old, 5'7). We had looked at 405cc implants during the consultation. The PS cautioned against going larger than a 405cc implant. The large scars that come with the lift really scare me

Answer: It is possible to a point... Many of us chose implants based on the dimentions of your chest wall -- not your breast. Therefore, I will often recommend an implant size based on that so that they can expect a long-lasting implant result without bottoming out, capsularcontrature, etc that may be related to using implants that are too large. Having said that, it may not be enough to totally "fill up" your breast or address a low-lying nipple, so a lift is recommended. I know the scar is not ideal for many women, but it is to get the best appearance with a long-lasting result. We have all seen the woman who came in and needed a lift but instead got overly large, often subglandular implants instead. They looked good -- for about 6 months. Then they got hard and sagged. Now they need redone and that operation is complicated and expensive. Should've just done it right in the first place! Get a couple more oppinions from ASAPS members in your area and make the decision that's best for you. Good luck!

Answer: Avoid a breast lift by getting a larger implant. It is possible to raise the nipple if it sits at the level of the breast fold and an implant alone may work out. If the nipple sits below the fold the implant will tend to push the nipple even lower. The implant size is not as important as nipple position whch is what breast lift is all about.
