Looking into getting a breast reduction and lift and I'm curious what kind of lift I'd need. I currently have 365cc implants that are too big for me and are starting to sag. I want to get them lifted and smaller to fit my frame better.
Answer: Breast Lift and Implant Revision Thank you for your question. You are experiencing sagging breasts with 365cc implants that feel too large for your frame. The best approach may be to consider a breast lift and replacing your current implants with a smaller size. A breast lift will reposition your breasts higher on your chest and reshape the breast tissue to address sagging. Additionally, replacing your 365cc implants with smaller implants (for example, 200-300cc) will better suit your frame and help reduce the weight contributing to sagging. I recommend consulting with a surgeon to determine the best lift technique and implant choice tailored to your goals.

Answer: Lift and implant removal Implant removal with a standard mastopexy will be very beneficial in lifting and reshaping your breasts and getting adequate proportion to your body. The lift will have standard "anchor" type scars, but I would not hesitate to proceed as I think it will fulfill your expectations. Thank you.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Lift. Thank you for your question. You can address both breast sagging and size in a single surgery that combines breast reduction and lift. The extent of sagging and your desired outcome will determine the type of lift used. The most comprehensive lift is the Anchor Lift, which can treat severe sagging and help the breasts regain their natural shape after implants are removed. The Lollipop Lift can effectively correct mild sagging while providing a modest reduction and lift. Your surgeon will decide which is best for you after evaluating the degree of the sagging and considering your anatomy and goals.

Answer: Breast lift Dear michnic12, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.
