I am currently a 34 DDD but I plan to lose 20 pounds and I expect to lose about a cup size as it is my original weight and body. I would like large implants to achieve a slender and busty look. I prefer my nipples not to be perfectly centered and only be lifted slightly. I know surgeons don’t prefer the benelli lift but would it help me even a little? Is a large implant + areola lift possible for me?

Answer: Periareolar lift Although the Benelli or periareolar lift won't fully correct your shape, it sounds like that would be acceptable, and actually your desired look. So as long as you connect with a surgeon that understands your goals, I think this is a reasonable approach. Best of luck!

Answer: Will a breast augmentation and periareolar lift help me meet my goals? Hi. To appropriately discuss implant size and choice as well as breast lift options, you really need an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon with good experience with breast augmentation mastopexy (breast lift). Opinions and preferences will vary somewhat from one surgeon to another surgeon. Personally I start with the base width of the patient as the starting point for the footprint of the future implant. Tissue characteristics, and desired postoperative size, and patient anatomy all factor in to the proper selection of implant volume as well as profile. As far as the lift, I would not recommend trying to do it with just a periareolar lift. Based on the pictures I would guess you need a vertical mastopexy and possibly a horizontal component as well. I go over all of that all in detail with my patients at the time of their consultation. I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with good experience in this area. He or she can thoroughly review the options with you so that you can make a good and well-informed mutual decision. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell
