Really unhappy with how my breasts look. I've always had big breasts and with each pregnancy (4) they have got bigger. I've just finished breastfeeding and my breasts and now empty and saggy. Skin is thin.

Answer: Breast lift with Implants You are an excellent candidate for a lift with implants. This procedure would entail removing a lot of the excess skin making the breast small and tight and then placing an implant. Most likely a gummy bear or a cohesive implant under the muscle so that the breast can look perky and full and round. You will always have the issue of having thin skin and depending on the quality of your breast tissue, you may actually be a good candidate for a dermo matrix. Any well breast specialist should be able to give you recommendations on this. Good luck.

Answer: Breast lift vs BA Dear emma9027, 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.
