Is a Circumareolar Breast Lift Needed for Perky, Natural Looking Breasts?

I would agree with your doctor that an asymmetric periareolar lift would benefit you in combination with an implant.

Make sure you don't fixate on a particular size, since too large of an implant can result in a messhapen breast.  Often a higher profile implant of moderate size is the wisest choice for your type of breast.

It is very difficult to determine the  best lift technique or exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below.#breastlift#ba#breastimplants

Your picture suggests breast
hypoplasia, minimal breast sag, and mild breast asymmetry. Under these circumstances, it’s reasonable to
perform combination breast augmentation, breast lift surgery through a
circumareolar approach.This type of
procedure could address all of your aesthetic concerns.If you’re concerned with scarring, it’s reasonable to
perform the breast augmentation as an initial maneuver.There’s the possibility that this may be
enough to meet most of your aesthetic goals.If not, a secondary circumareolar breast lift could be performed at a
later date.It’s important that you thoroughly discuss these options
with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon
should be able to help you formulate a treatment plan that addresses your
anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.
