I'm a 30HH. I've heard a mastopexy can only do so much and wont give you that perfect, perky round look that implants do. Problem is, I don't want an augmentation as it would be too big for my frame. Is it possible for implants to lift large breasts without increasing their size too much?
Answer: Large breast lift With breasts as large as yours, breast implants will not make them any more perky or round. Implants will only project them forward and likely change the shape unnaturally. It will not change the position of the nipple which usually provides a more perky and round look.You may be a better candidate for a breast reduction or a mastopexy (breast lift). A breast reduction can reduce your size a little (or a lot) and provide a lift. A breast lift can improve the shape and the location of the nipple on the breast.It's hard to provide advice based on just a few sentences. Seek a plastic surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery to get your best evaluation and advice.

Answer: Breast Reduction A breast reduction would be indicated in your case. This will involve a lift to reposition the areolas/nipples higher on your chest wall.

Answer: Can an Implant lift the breasts without adding too much volume? No. Implants add volume and do not significantly alter the position or shape of the lower breast pole or areolar complex. Please don't fall into the trap of "just get implants to lift your breasts and you won't need a lift." I get it, implants are easier, create less scarring, and are less expensive than a full breast lift. However, women with breasts as large as you need to have a full lifting procedure (with reduction of breast tissue) to make their breast fuller, perkier, and less heavy so they won't pull back down again. I doubt you will need anything else after that, however, if after a nice lift you still want more volume, you could put implants in later if needed. Good luck.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method Thank you for your question, You do not need implants! All you need is a breast lift that will use your own tissue to fill the top of your breasts. The Bellesoma Method was not only designed to achieve upper pole fullness without implants, but it has also eliminated the dreaded vertical scar component. Breasts are beautifully reshaped and elevated with minimum scarring. Long term results are this technique's hallmark. An internal support is fashioned using a woman's own tissue to keep the newly shaped breast high for years to come. Nipple sensitivity along with the ability to breast feed is also preserved. Remember, implants are not stable devices and as such require maintenance in the form of costly revisions. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

Answer: Can implants be used to lift natural large breasts? Thank you for the question. Based on your description of breast size and goals only, it sounds like that you may benefit from breast reduction/augmentation surgery. During this operation, some breast tissue is removed and breast implants are utilized for volume/fullness. Sometimes, the operation is best done in stages.I would suggest that you be very careful with your decision-making: undergoing breast augmentation surgery only, when breast lifting is also indicated, can be a "recipe" for an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome, disappointment, and potentially require additional surgery to "correct". Also, I do not think that it is a good idea for patients to undergo breast augmentation surgery, with larger breast implants than they would otherwise select, in order to avoid the need for breast lifting.
