How can I fix my breasts? They are deflated and saggy after breastfeeding. As every other women i would like to avoid scarring from lifts, but am assuming that is what I will need. But would love to hear feedback from the experts to have a better idea of my choices. Could I get an implant instead? I don't want the perfect breasts, I just want breasts that don't look fake, but that gives me confidence. Currently a size 32 D, but I do have some stretched skin at the top of the breasts.
Answer: Breast Augmentation / lifting Surgery
Thank you for your question and photos. From the photos, it does look like you would benefit from a breast lift as well as breast implants to achieve the fullness you wish for. Please visit with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with this type of breast surgery and who can show you examples of his/her work. Best Wishes!

Answer: How can I improve my breasts with a mastopexy? .There are many ways to improve your breasts. Lollipop lift (vertical lift), donut (periareola) lift, Benelli lift, crescent lift, anchor lift (inverted T ). Most commonly, we prefer the lollipop or donut lift because of the shape, small scars and easier healing. Although the “anchor-shape” or inverted “T” incision is still more popular in the United States, it represents an older technique with extensive scarring and a less optimal result in many cases. These newer techniques are utilized in the vast majority of cases, the rare exception being extremely large breasts. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position. The crescent lift removes a small amount of skin at the top of the areola. We find that there is very little lift and the areola becomes oval in shape and distorted with this method. The Benelli lift as performed by most surgeons is just the donut lift, removing a donut shaped piece of areola and skin then using a #Pursestring or double purse-string suture to tighten the skin. A true Benelli actually will expose much of the breast through this incision and then the breast itself is shaped and lifted with sutures. This is a more complex procedure and is often not done as describe by Dr. Benellil. The insertion of an implant as well, may be advisable to restore superior fullness, which is lost with aging and after pregnancy despite the rest of the breast being overly large. Fat grafting can be used instead of implants to improve the contours of the breast.

Answer: Breast lift Looking at your photos, you'd probably get a better result with a lift. You can try a lift with fat transfer to minimize scarring. That would give you a perkier contour and a good size.

Answer: Breast lift candidate? You are an outstanding candidate for a breast lift. You have nice breast tissue but excess skin and low areolas. I would expect you to have a great result from breast lift surgery.

Answer: Sagging Breasts: Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation It’s not unusual for patients to lose breast volume and develop breast sag following pregnancy. It’s apparent from your pictures and history that you have lost significant breast volume following breast feeding and would like to have your breast volume restored to its pre-pregnancy level. The severity of your breast sag requires a traditional breast lift with an anchor incision. A breast implant could be placed in a sub muscular position to add upper breast fullness and volume. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be an appropriate next step.
