I got a Mommy Makeover with a breast lift & 195 cc gummy bear high profile implants 1.5 year ago. My natural breast tissue was already a C or D cup so the Dr. chose a small implant. On one hand I am happy they look natural. But in a few years, I would like to go in for surgery again, & this time I'm hoping they will look more fake I guess. When I go back, how do I achieve a more large, round, perky look? Especially when laying down (for my husband). Bigger implants? Another breast lift?

Answer: Vertical scars don’t achieve your perky goals The technique that you chose for your lift required the vertical scar. This technique uses the skin envelope to push the breast higher. This was unsuccessful since you are dissatisfied with the result. The technique I recommend is 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. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: How do I get my breasts more perky? While I agree somewhat with the previous surgeon on use of the high profile implants, I will politely disagree that this will guarantee you a more perky look. Since you have already had a lift, it is clear that the internal ligaments providing structure to your breasts lost some of their integrity which created drooping. Unfortunately, by simply adding volume alone, the likelihood of creating a very perky look is very low. To achieve that you would need to add a significant amount of volume which would then mean a significant amount of weight which would simply cause the breasts to stretch even more. I would start with a narrower base implant (like the High Profile) but also start with very realistic expectations. I hope that helps and wish you the very best.Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
