Mommy makeover in the near future. My concern is my saggy breast. I am still undecided about implants as I worry about having foreign objects in my body and how my body will react. Is there any type of testing I can take to see how my body will react with implants prior to making a decision. Do you think a lift alone I will still get desirable results? I'm okay with having small breast. I've looked into fat transfers, but worry the fat will not survive. I also plan to have a bbl.
Answer: Breasts Consider just doing the breast lift. If you are content with your size now, you should be happy with the lift. Just based on your one distant photo, you do not appear to have much fat to donate.

Answer: Breast lift results Thank you for your question regarding results after a breast lift and for including photos. They are extremely helpful! Unfortunately, there is no type of testing that you can undergo to see how your body will react to implants prior to making that decision. Having a breast lift performed, will make you slightly smaller in size due to removing the excess skin. I recommend that you have an in person consultation with two or more experienced board, certified plastic surgeons in your area to talk about realistic expectations.

Answer: Breast lift without implants Hello!, thanks for your question. The Breast implant will give you breast upper pole fullness, if you want upper pole fullness the implant is a good option. the breast lift will set the breast in the proper place, it will looks beautiful as well, but remember that natural breast has no too much volume in the upper pole, so maybe the fat grafting could be a good option, part of the volume that is transfered will goes away but some fat will remain. I hope this information helps you.

Answer: Lift vs breast implants and lift Thank you for your question. Looking at your photos I would suggest a breast implant along with a lift. An implant will allow your surgeon to give you back the upper pole firmness and better shape. They don't necessarily have to do the implant to increase the size. If you chose to just do a lift that is OK as well. You could always add an implant down the line. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Will a breast lift alone give me desirable results? Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full mastopexy (breast lift) which will put your nipples into the correct position, decrease the size of nipple/areola and allow excess skin to be taken away, giving you a more youthful looking breast. Some people are a little apprehensive to the full breast lift due to the scars, but typically they do very well. You may be happy with just a lift and no implants, but if you get the lift done first, then you haven't burned any bridges to move forward with the implants at another time. I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
