Breast lift or implants?

Question

Just curious what my best option would be

James F. Boynton, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for your question.  I would keep it more simple.  What bothers you the most? Do you want to be more full or do you think the nipples are too low?  My opinion in analyzing the single photo that you provided is that a modest sized breast implant that fits your tissues based on careful measurements would "fill out" the breast and give you added fullness to the breast and especially in the upper poles. I routinely perform "dual plane" release with subpectoral (under the muscle) breast augmentation using silicone gel breast implants.  The dual plane release can help "elevate" the nipples to some degree (and they don't need much). I would doubt that you would need a lift at all; however, after augmentation if you find the nipple it too low to your liking, then you can always consult with your plastic surgeon about adding a breast lift at that time. I hope this is helpful.  Good luck!

It is very difficult to give you good advice based on the single photograph; you may wish to post additional photographs, preferably with your arms by your side (frontal and side views) for more specific evaluation/advice. Otherwise, your best option is to see consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate loss of examples achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. Very important will be: careful communication of your personal goals;  this communication is key when it comes to determining what operation would be indicated. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question.  Based on your submitted photos a true determination cannot be made as to which procedure, if not possibly both procedures, would help you achieve your overall desired goal.  Wihtout an in person exam or at the very least a side profile picture to further evlauate you, the best advice would be to schedule a cosultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these options, address your goals and work together to create the surgical plan that will best help you acheve your overall desired look.With kind regards,Lane F.

Thanks for your question and pictures.  It is a bit hard to give full advice without additional pictures and an in-person evaluation.  You do look like a good candidate though for breast surgery.  I would recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon to start your surgery journey.  Best wishes!Steven Camp MD#HappyCamperMD
