Mammoplasty Bilateral - would I get the size I'm looking for? (Photo)

You are a very good candidate for a breast lift. Generall Speaking, patients end up around a “C” cup, but cup size is notoriously inaccurate. What you need to know is that the operation will make you significantly lifted, reshaped, and with just right proportion. Definitely NO implants as you will not get the highest tightest lift that you are looking for. I would not hesitate to proceed.

Dear rahenning21,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

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.

"Undoubtedly, we will have enough breast tissue to perform a breast lift, achieving the volume you desire, and your breasts will appear more lifted. However, if you wish to definitively fill the upper poles, we could use a cohesive silicone gel implant for this purpose. I hope this is helpful for you. Best regards."

Dear rahenning21, thanks for sharing your questions, unfortunaly without an in-person consultation is impossible to pick or recommend style, shape or sizes without an in person consultation, that provide the chance to get the measurement of key breast parameters, this is maybe the difficult step in this process. However, to get a good shape you might probably need implants if going to D or C cup. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

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.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question. It seems that you have enough breast tissue to achieve a C/D breast size after a breast lift. When you have breast implants, your breasts will appear to be bigger at the upper poles. Please consult with your surgeon to make sure you are on the same page.

Yes from the photos you appear to be a good candidate for a lift. This will remove excess skin and raise the position of the nipple. You can elect to have a small reduction and still have a C/D size. I encourage you to discuss your size goals with your surgeon so that you can be comfortable and confident as you prepare for surgery.

With a lift, you should be around a C cup. Bras are not all the same sizes, so your bra size might vary. I think you should do very well.

You appear to have enough breast tissue to accomplish a lift with C/D volume. Adding an implant makes the upper part of the breast fuller without bra support. A mesh can be used to support your breast tissue in the healing process. The mesh is under the skin and dissolves and the internal scarring holds the breast in position.
