I am 38, have three children and will not be having more so am interested in options of what a breast lift could realistically do to improve the shape of my breasts. More similar shape they are while cupped vs exposed? At this time I do not think I would even consider implants, I am just a bit of a hypochondriac (tiny bit) and the idea of possibly having to explant them or replace, gives me anxiety. Thanks so much anyone who takes the time to even entertain my questions, I really appreciate it!

Answer: Mastopexy would be a great option for you Based solely on your photos, it appears that you still have a good amount of breast tissue under the skin. A reshaping of the breast tissue as well as excess skin removal would help to replace your breasts back to a more youthful, more symmetric position on your chest. It is difficult to fully recommend which technique would be best unless doing a formal examination, however you seem to be a good candidate for this. Doing a mastopexy, AKA breast left, would not preclude you from having a breast implant placed at a future date if you were so inclined. The addition of fat grafting techniques to mastopexy in the recent years have also become a good option for patients looking to have additional breast volume without an implant. Breast lifts, fat grafting to the breast, and breast augmentation are procedures that we commonly do in our office. Please see the attached link for more information on this topic.

Answer: Could a breast lift alone help reshape my breasts? Hello @Londonlu, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. Your breast has the perfect shape to perform a breast pexy (lift) and a reconfiguration of the tissue, to lift it and give it a good shape. It would have a very favorable esthetic result because you have good mammary gland that must be fibrous for having breastfed. This would give a very good shape without the need to insert prosthesis. It is important that you have a consultation with a board certified specialist to determine a surgical plan according to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
