Would I get good results after a breast reduction if I get implants to improve volume and shape? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast reduction 2 years ago covered through insurance. I am not happy with how small they are now and want better shape and volume. With the shape I have now, would I get good results with implants? Last two pics are inspo. I also included a pre op picture of my breasts.

Thanks for your question!
You have a nice result from your breast reduction surgery. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options for implants. Best wishes!

From your photograph, it seems you could achieve excellent shape including upper pole fullness with breast augmentation.  It would not be unusual to do a significant reduction as you had and augmentation at the same sitting.  Good luck.

Yes, you would need to select the proper optimal size/fill volume for your current measurements. It most likely would need to be a rather large implant unless you are considering a small implant with a lift.

Dear madisonvvvl,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like breast implants would give you more fullness. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi.  Breast implants could definitely be a good option to consider to improve the size of the breasts and likely shape as well.  I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience with breast implants and breast lifts.
Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell

Overall I would agree that your shape is good, but what you likely want is upper pole fullness. This is a common concern following lift or reduction. Breast implants are really the only option to give you that fullness back. The size will be determined by your breast width.

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Although not perfect, you have a very nice result. Implants would help get you close to your goal photo. The only thing else that should be done is a trim of skin and some tissue for both the lateral and medial edges of your breast. This will help round out the lower pole of your breast. The entire surgery would be performed through your current inframammary incision and not involve periareolar or vertical scars.

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 with different size and profile implants. 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.

Absolutely you can get breast augmentation which will help improve cleavage and shape. The beauty of having the reduction is that your nipples are in great position so the augmentation should be straightforward. I would recommend you set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and size goals. We would size at the time of your visit.
Best of luck to you!
