What kind of lift would be likely to give me good results? (photos)

An in person exam to take precise measurements of your breast dimensions and nipple position is necessary to know which technique is best suited for your breasts.

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,

Hello @brit_1996, thank you for your question. Ideally, a patient should undergo a personalized consultation with a surgeon, during which a surgical plan tailored to the patient's expectations will be presented. That said, from the pictures I can see that a lift with the BRALAN technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) can be performed to reposition the mammary tissue and enhance projection of the upper pole and media areas. That way you can have a perky breast with some projection. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, if interested. 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Based on these photos and your desire, breast lift would be good procedure for you. You can expect to be 1/2 cup size smaller than now, but you will end up with small, perky breasts. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast lift surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

Dear brit_1996,
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.

Thanks for your question! I would suggest a vertical breast lift with or without a small implant. If you are feeling hollow up top and want more upper pole fullness, you may want to consider an implant. Good luck!

Congratulations on your weight loss! A lift with small implants would work well for you. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.

Your breasts are very nice, but deflated, low and a bit lateral. You may want to consider doing an implant and a lollipop (vertical mastopexy) lift.
Best wishes.
