Hello I’m due for surgery next week and I was hoping to just switch from my 450cc saline implants to 500-550cx silicone and have a more fuller cleavage look without going too up in size... doctor said only way is to either get a lift( which I don’t want the T cut) or go up to 650 CC which is way too big for me (5’1 125 pounds) and I will just have the same problem in the future with sagging.... could I possibly do a donut lift?

Answer: BA or breast lift Dear Eclectic229691, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Lift Your heavy implants are sagging now from the weight. A doughnut lift will not correct this. If you go even bigger, that is more implant weight to stretch and thin your tissue and cause more sagging. Please do not go larger.
