Am I a good candidate for a breast lift with internal scaffolding and no implant? (photos)

Dear Practical3744,
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 thatsbeing brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.
If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello. Great question. Thank you for your pictures. Based on your images, you can benefit from a breast lift. Implants may cause you to become bigger than a size B cup. However, a personal examination is needed to provide a definite answer. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Yes, you are a great candidate for a breast lift with scaffolding. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

Your breasts are too low on the chest wall, asymmetrical in size, shape and position.  You would benefit from 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.  The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief and long term stability.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question and doing your homework on RealSelf.  Breast lift surgery is a great way to restore and refine your breast shape after pregnancy and breasfeeding.  It is very normal to have some deflation of breast volume and stretched skin.  There are surgical options that involve a stand-alone lift or a lift with implants.  If it is your desire to avoid implants, there are a few techniques that can use the tissue you already have to perform an "auto-augmentation" using your own natural breast tissues.  As with any cosmetic procedure, it is best to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.  Together, you and your surgeon can develop a treatment plan that is best suited to your individual features, cosmetic goals, budget, and recovery timeline.  Both the ASPS and ASAPS have "Find a Surgeon" features on their respective websites to facilitate finding a properly trained and qualified surgeon in your area.Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery!

Based on your pictures, you appear to be an excellent candidate for a breast lift.  You do not appear to have a lot of breast volume, however, the decision about whether or not to include a breast implant for more volume should be decided in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person.  Scaffolding materials are fairly expensive materials and I think that you could get a nice result without adding additional material into the procedure.

If you do not desire a very full, round look, then a lift with no implant would be a great option. Internal mesh or support could be helpful, but more important is the consistency of your own tissue.  You'd need an in-person exam to determine the best operation to get the results you want.

Yes, you can just have a lift, or small reduction to lift the girls, remove the excess skin, and make you smaller. Just doing a lift will remove excess skin and make you smaller.

Thanks for your question and pictures, looks like you can benefit from breast İmplants with a lift, that would give you the best results.Please consalt with a board certified PS, best of luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Based on your photos, breast lift surgery may be a good option to improve the shape, contour, and perkiness of your breasts. The surgery can be designed to minimize scar appearance. 
Tissue density will always play a big role
in the amount of tissue (and the number of grams) that is removed. Going
too small can sacrifice the shape of the breasts. The nipple also has to
have a healthy/robust blood supply from the underlying breast tissue in order
to survive. A plastic surgeon cannot guarantee that a breast will be
a specific cup size after breast reduction surgery. In general, very large
breasts are rarely reduced by more than two or three "cup" sizes. If you
decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you
are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person, addresses your
concerns, and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic
goals. Best of luck!
