I had my 350cc silicone implants explanted in 2018. I’ve had 3 kids and breastfed for 6 years total. I am really not wanting to put a foreign object back in my body, I cannot seem to get on board with all of the potential side effects of a fat transfer. And honestly I am happy with having small breasts. It is just that they are saggy and my nipples are too large. What would a breast lift only do for me? I am embarrassed at all of the saggy wrinkled skin.

Answer: Breast lift would help Hi rish1985, Breast lift or mastopexy can reduce skin excess in both the horizontal and vertical directions, while concurrently decreasing the size of the areola and moving the nipple to a more forward facing position. So....yes, a breast lift could address your concerns. However, these changes come at the expense of scars--at least around the nipple and vertical (from six o'clock of the areola to the inframammary fold), and possibly an inverted T incision. I would suggest meeting with a qualified plastic surgeon to better understand the tradeoffs of shape improvement vs. scars. Best of luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
