I recently had a consultation and the surgeon said I was borderline & suggested not to have one as I want more children. She suggested dual plane 450cc round implants mod plus. She did warn that I may suffer from waterfall effect where the breast tissue sits lower than the implant. Just want a second opinion as I don’t really want a breast lift but also don’t want to end up with the deformity.
Answer: Breast lift Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on your photos, I do not believe that you need a breast lift. I think that you will have a great result without one.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After 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 then get to choose what looks right for them. 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: Breasts Your photos are not taken to give a straight on view or side profile, but you appear to need a lift. Measurements are needed to be sure. I would not recommend going with such large implants.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? Based on your photos it does not appear you need a breast lift. You should have a nice result with augmentation alone. Hope this helps!

Answer: BA or breast lift Dear gmyoudale, 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.
