Breast lift, breast augmentation or both? (Photo)

Question

Should I do both a lift and augmentation at the same time or just do the augmentation and see if that is enough? Doing a tummy tuck too. And with my body type what kind/ size of implant?

Ted Eisenberg, DO, FACOS, FAACS · Answer

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. 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 is right for them.

Breast Lift with Implant and Tummy tuck 360 Vaser Liposuction would be good option for you. You have grade 3 ptosis which means you %100 lifting, also you have assymetry as well. Only implant will make it more ptotic, ı recommend round silicone implant, to give more upper pole fullness. At the same time tummy tuck and 360 vaser liposuction and armpit liposuction can be done , this combination also called as mommy makeover.

"Based on the pictures you provided, a combination of both a breast lift and breast augmentation will help you achieve harmonious and fuller results. An augmentation alone might not address potential sagging, while a lift alone might not give you the desired volume. Fortunately, these procedures can be combined and performed simultaneously with a tummy tuck. It's a common approach called a ""mommy makeover."" Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon in person will provide further clarity on the ideal implant type and size to align with your aesthetic goals.

A side photo would confirm this but it does appear that your nipples are below your breast fold, which would make a breast lift suitable. With breast augmentation alone, the implants would sit rather low on your chest and you wouldn’t get any fullness in the upper portion. A lift and augmentation can be performed at the same time, depending on your surgeon’s recommendation. For sizing, a range would be recommended by your surgeon. This would be based on your current body dimensions and goals.

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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Any surgeon who offers you an augmentation without a lift should be avoided, plain and simple. Your result without a lift will be awful. If you encounter a surgeon who wants to do it in two stages, e.g. aug then lift later, or lift then aug later, that person should also be questioned; it's been decades since combining the two procedures simultaneously has become a standard.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concerns and pictures with us. It looks like you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift with implants, during your pre-op consultation you can discuss with your surgeon the size of the implants and what type of scar will be the best for you.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest doing the breast lift first and see how well you like your size. If then you wish to be larger, get small implants with mesh for better support. Don't go large or you will just sag.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your photo it appears you are a good candidate for the procedures you mentioned.  You can elect to have a lift alone, or if you are wanting more volume you can add an implant as well.  If you are in general good health you may be able to have these procedures done in the same day.  The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.
