Will I need a lift if I want larger implants. I would like to be a DD. I breast fed 2 babies.
Determining if you need a lift really depends on the results you are wanting. Right now your nipples sit low on the chest wall. With implants you will have a larger version of what you have now and the nipples will still be somewhat low. If you are wanting a perky, lifted look then a mastopexy with implants is the right move.
Your breasts are very low on your chest wall, are asymmetrical and the nipples are quite lateral. If you undergo augmentation alone then the implants have to be centered underneath the nipple-areola complex. You will have 2 implants laterally positioned pointing outward and the results will be very poor. The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
