After giving birth to two beautiful daughters and breastfeeding one of them for 6 months (mostly expressed milk with a breast pomp) an another for 9 months my breasts left empty and saggy. Had 32D before pregnancies, after first pregnancy and breastfeeding-32C, after second-32B. Will anatomical implants work well on my breasts or I should ask for lift? Is there a big risk that my breast will look nice after surgery and after few year they will look droppy again?

Answer: Anatomical implants for saggy breasts or lift? Implants alone do not adequately lift the breast when there is significant sagging, no matter the size or the type, and will not produce a good cosmetic result in a patient who also needs some variation of a lift. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,assessing yourdesired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and be very realistic about your potential cosmetic result. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: HP or lift I would either go with smooth round high profile implants or the lift. The HP implants would have to be large and there would be still some residual ptosis. However, the scarring would be less. A lift would control the breast shape more but there would be scarring and the breasts would be smaller. I would wait six months between the lift and implants if you did both. I do not see any use for anatomic implants here.
