Crescent Vs. Full Lift with Breast Implants

4067anonMar 22, 2010

I am 28 have had 2 children, currently a 32 B looking to go to a C. I have received 3 different opinions: 1.Might be ok without lift just Augmentation2.Augmentation with lift, for best results a lollipop/full lift, but might also achieve desirable results w/ doughnut lift. 3.Augmentation with crescent lift allowing the Dr to shape and move the nipple as well as tighten the skin. I realize a lift is necessary to achieve the results I want however I am not sure which approach I should take. Any advice is much appreciated!
