I’m 27 and am interested in getting a breast lift as well as areola reduction. I’m currently a 36/38 D and would like to keep a large cup size. I want to be able to wear a shirt without a bra. My ideal breasts sit lower on the chest and filler on the bottom. Should I get implants to achieve this? Or is a lift alone enough?
Answer: Breast Lift with Fat Transfer or Breast Implant Thank you for your questions & photos. From your photos, you are a good candidate for a breast lift. The breast lift will raise and reshape your breast & areola addressing the majority of your goals. You can transfer your own fat to your breast or a breast implant can be placed to achieve fuller rounder breasts. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast implants vs lift alone A breast lift alone is a great option in women who already gave a lot of volume of their own. In general if you are satisfied with your current size, just require a different shape a breast lift only is a good option for you. A reduction in nipple size is a component of a breast lift.

Answer: Implants do no lifting; They just give more size and volume. Lift alone might give the result. If you are happy with your size, especially in a bra, then implants are not necessary. Seeing your surgeon's pictures would also be helpful. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Answer: Breast lift only Based on these photos, it would be my suggestion to consider breast lift without implants. You appear to have relatively dense breasts which will hold shape and fulness for longer time. However, small reduction, in particular lateral breast tails should be considered to improve overall result and longevity. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in breast surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method At size 36/38D, you do not need implants but need a lift. 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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
