Im 35 yrs old and have 36ddd breast. They are starting to sag and would like to stay the same size but get back to a fuller, perkier breast. I have been blessed enough that they dont point straight to the ground. Is there a way of doing it without a breast reduction? Afraid of the scar down the center of the breast. Can I put in a bit of a larger implant to fill them out or do I have to do both? What would be my options? thanks
Answer: 36DDD and wants implants / avoiding a lift
Your question is a common one. While a breast lift can be done without reducing your size, the trade-off of incisional scars is sometimes hard for patients to get their head around.
Adding an implant to your natural 36DDD (=36F) size is not the right answer. Why?:
1) It would add a cup or two to your size...and you said you wanted to remain the same size
2) Implants do not lift the breast....you'd just have a bigger version of what you have now.
3) The extra weight of the implant could actually accelerate any skin stretch issues you are having.
Honestly, I'd recommend either to do a lift, or leave them alone....but not to put an implant in.
All the best,

In your situation, the best answer truly is a breast lift. That will restore your upper volume (the 'perkiness'). Adding an implant would only add to the weight and increase the droop. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to accept the scar to get the shape you want.

Answer: Vertical breast lift will benefit larger breasts
In my opinion, implants would not provide you with sufficent lift and could result in the appearance of a larger more "saggy" breast. You have to weigh it out and figure out which is worse, a well maintained scar or saggy breasts after augmentation.

Based on your picture, a breast lift may be better. Implants will make your breasts larger and over time the may sag more.

Answer: Breast lift versus implants for sagging...
If you are looking for more youthful breasts you should really consider a breast lift as opposed to breast implants. A common misconception about implants is that they will give you lift, which isn't always true. Adding implants to a woman with larger breasts, such as yourself, will only give them more size and weight which can contribute to further sagging. After having a breast lift by a qualified plastic surgeon, scarring should be minimal, and in the end I think you will be more satisfied with the overall results. Consult with different plastic surgeons and discuss all the different techniques used for breast lift surgery and see which you are a candidate for.
