I saw a surgeon last year & he told me it wasn't possible for me to have smaller boobs & I wouldn't be happy if I took my implants out. I dont want to be stuck with big boobs. For context, I want to close the gap between my collarbone & top of boob. My boob job didn't satisfy this want. I wanted the push up bra effect, not just 'big boobs'. I originally enquired about a lift but the surgeon said it wasn't necessary & ended up lowering my crease making my torso look short. Am I out of options?
Answer: Low-set breasts Hi from Istanbul, thanks for this question. It's a rather interesting topic and I think it would help prospective patients as well. The "footprint" of the breast, meaning the anatomical starting and ending points, is different for everyone and can't be changed by implants or a lift. While implants or a lift can add volume and lift sagging breasts, they won't alter this natural placement. For breasts that are naturally positioned lower on the torso, it's not possible to significantly raise them and maintain that position long-term. So, you could review your options with this in mind. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Looking for higher, perky boobs? At this point, it may be a challenge to achieve your goal in the near future. Removing the implants will leave you with some sagging that may benefit from a breast lift. In addition, placing a smaller implant after removing the current implant may allow you lengthen your torso closer to where it was originally. A full discussion on this topic is lengthy and would be better understood if done in person.

Answer: There are limits You have low set breasts, meaning they sit lower on your chest than average. The implant result may be a bit larger than you wanted, but the position on your chest cannot be changed. Your options are to leave it, go smaller, or remove. No lift will help. With what you are saying, possibly remove, let heal, then in future consider fat grafting or an implant of a smaller size for volume.

Answer: Necessary Determinations and Recommendations Hello; Since your previous breasts were not sagging; the Surgeon said; there was no need to lift it up. This is the right approach. But, I wish; I didn't wear a bra; before the surgery. It will look like a push up bra; if you had stated that; you wanted a breast. Because, unnaturally; after an overly large breast prosthesis is not made, the breast; it never looks like a push up bra. Whereas; with clavicle; the gap between the upper boarder of the breast is quite large; prosthesis that will narrow for this wide area; it must have a fairly large base and volume. Now, by performing breast lift; your breast can be lifted up with the prosthesis. If the breast prosthesis is removed; your breast will appear bulkier, looser and emptier than before.

Answer: Breasts Your breasts naturally sit somewhat low on your chest and the bases cannot be moved. Placing an implant behind the muscle does give more upper breast fullness. Your nipples sat a little low initially, so a limited lift could be done and the folds could be raised back to their normal location.. However, you cannot have high sitting breasts. If you have donor fat, some could be added to the upper breasts as well.
