Hi, I'm 38 year old- mother of 5-youngest being 1 year old! I'm 5-8 about 125 lbs. I workout a lot and I'm considering breast augmentation. Because of my multiple pregnancies I lack upper pole fullness and would like to know if a round ultra high profile implant would work with my body type?? I think ultimately a lift would be necessary, but because of cost, would an ultra high profile round implant give me a similar result? I'm about a 34b now-with some assemetry. Thank you in advance for all your help!

Answer: Do I need a lift Thanks for your inquiry and pictures. To answer your question I do not think an implant alone would replace what a lift offers in your potential results. That does not mean you cannot get a reasonable result without a lift, but the lift could improve the nipple/areola position and address the lower pole loose envelop. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and best of luck.

Answer: Do I Need A Lift Also? Dear mdbrown14, Thank you for your question and photos. While photos often can tell us if a lift is truly needed or not, it is really the measurements we take during your examination in combination with a determination of the quality of the breast tissues that dictates recommending a lift with or without implants to rejuvenate the breasts. In some patients, an implant with a dual plane approach can mimic the effect of a breast lift but not in every patient. This is why you need to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can determine the best course of treatment for you. Sometimes placing an oversize, too projected implant can actually increase the rate of sagging dramatically too. It is important to remember that a poorly designed plan may cost less in the beginning but result in a more costly correction in the future.I hope this helps.
