I am 22 with a full 34c cup. I went for my consult yesterday and I knew I would need a lift because my breasts are so saggy. I wanted a lift with implants because I want perky round fake looking breasts. I am ok with my size but I wouldn't mind being a D or DD. My Dr said he won't do them at the same time. I was devastated (more money and more down time and it will be longer before I have the body I want). Why won't he do it? And do you think just a lift will give me the perky round look I want?

Answer: A combined breast lift and implant can be done. A combined breast lift and breast implant surgery can be tricky but there are many of us who are experienced with this and comfortable doing it at the same time. Some docs are more comfortable doing it in 2 separate surgeries, but as you know, this commits you 100% to a second surgery. When combined in one operation, the results can be great, but there may also be about a 10-20% chance of needed a small touch-up or revision. It may be best to get another opinion from a surgeon experienced in a combined breast lift and implant surgery.

Answer: One stage procedure Breast lift alone will not give you that round perky look you describe. Implants would be required to achieve upper pole fullness and better cleavage. This combination procedure requires more skill than either the lift or augmentation. I suggest that you do a fair amount of research to find a plastic surgeon that is well versed in this combination procedure that could be done in one stage.Ary Krau MD FACS
