I received a lift and implant about 8 months ago. My breasts had gotten droopy from pregnancy and affected my self-esteem. I wanted to achieve perky, round, full breasts with lots of round volume. I wanted them to look fake, in regards to the roundess on top. I feel they have dropped back to my old breasts just bigger. The nipple placement is better. I still have to wear a bra for perkiness. I received 450cc saline over the muscle high profile, with an anchor lift.

Answer: Sagging after lift and implants! Help! Very large implants, augmentation mastopexy, poor skin quality can all lead to recurrence of breast ptosis. I would suggest revision mastopexy and conversion to a much smaller implant. In my practice, I have also used Stratus or Seri to create an internal supportive sling for the implants to help prevent sagging. Good luck and be safe. John T.

Answer: Sagging after lift and implants! Help! You showed that your tissues cannot support a large implant. Going larger to fill the upper poles and look "fake" will work for a short time until your tissues relax and stretch and the implants drop again. You might benefit from a vertical lift, without nipple repositioning to cone the breasts and raise the implants to a higher position. After surgery, the lower poles of the breasts should be taped and also wear a supportive bra for at least one month. Good luck.
