Hi, I am starting my journey and setting up consultations, but would like any additional opinions I can get to ensure that I’m as knowledgeable as I can be (and that I don’t get strong armed into an additional procedure if it can be avoided) I’m wondering if a lift is 100% necessary or if I could possibly get away with a sun muscular pocket with dual plane 3 (with a slightly larger, high profile implant) I’m wanting a more natural look as my end result & prefer minimal scarring. Thanks!
Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. An in person consult necessary for definitive answer I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Journey Please go see Dr Louis Strock in Fort Worth and let him know that Dr. Gianfranco Frojo recommended you. I trained under him. He is one of the best surgeons for this type of surgery in the world. Alternatively, you can also go see Dr. William Adams Jr in Dallas, Texas. These guys are world authorities in this topic.

Answer: Natural look with implant and no lift Hello thank your question. I would suggest bringing in your wish pics. Talk to your plastic surgeon about your options given your desired goals. Also consider the future of how much further the breast tissue and implant will fall.

Answer: Breast Lift Dear Lilithlvne, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Do I need a lift? The submitted photo is not enough to make a definite recommendation. Typically if the nipple is at or below the level of the breast fold a lift is recommended. It is understandable to not wish to have unnecessary scars, but nor do you want to undergo a procedure and be unhappy with the result. Be sure the consultations you have are with experienced board certified plastic surgeons.
