Will I be able to get proper breast size & superior pole volume with breast lift/reduction without implants? (Photos)

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, I believe you may be a candidate for a breast reduction. By reducing the breast and lifting the position of the nipple, you will likely be left with a perkier, more youthful appearing breast. Please keep in mind that natural tissue will sag over time due to gravity and the skin integrity, so expect for the breasts to be lower over time. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast reduction or lift. This will depend on your desired size/volume. Both procedures will give you a symmetric, youthful result.

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. You are a perfect candidate for an auto augmentation mastopexy. This is where instead of throwing the excess breast tissue away, it can be utilized to increase the upper pole fullness, while lifting and re-shaping your breast. The other option is to perform a breast lift/reduction and simultaneously perform fat grafting to specifically target the area of need. Good luck.

Hello @fyfdghxssb, thank you for your question. With breast reconstruction and breast lift, it is possible to create good breast shape with your own tissue. This is because you have lost glandular tissue and mass as a result of losing weight. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear fyfdghxssb,
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. 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.

Good evening fyfdghxssb,
I hope this message finds you well. Based off of your images it does seem you do suffer from some loss of volume in your upper pole of bilateral breasts but your NAC does seem to be at the ideal position. If you are happy with the volume of your breasts' size then a breast lift alone can help satisfy your needs without having to use implants to augment their size giving you the fullness you desire and the shape you want. Although an image is a great starting point , I would recommend a video consultation / in person consultation with a board certified Aesthetic Plastic surgeon to take this forward and thoroughly answer your query.

Good to hear from you I am getting your concerns regarding large and pendulous breasts. I may suggest you get a breast reduction, which will address your concerns. Breastlift will leave a big volume breast which may not be ideal. And in your concerns, implants may not be helpful. RegardsDr Jyoshid R Balan

You would do very well with a breast reduction, which includes the lift. You have plenty of tissue and don't need to add implants for more volume. Some women do choose to add implants and take more breast tissue out for better upper breast fullness.

Based on your photos I think you would have a very nice result from performing a lift alone vs a reduction. As long as you are ok with the size of your breasts, a lift is definitely the way to go and you will not need a reduction. Reduction surgery comes into play more when a patient is unhappy with the size of their breasts.
