I had a breast lift done 10 years ago and starting to see some signs of sagging again. Would it be best to have lift redone now or wait. Also, would I be able to do implants this time? I chose not to have implants placed due to having concerns over implant complications. I feel that my results would have lasted longer if I had implants to maintain fullness. Secondly, will I still require the “anchor” incision again? Hoping I won’t have as much scarring. I had done laser scar removal.
Answer: Depends on extent of sagging Without a photo it would be difficult to give you an opinion. The type of breast lift suitable for you depends on the placement of your nipples in relation to your breast fold. If your nipples are below your breast fold, an anchor incision may be needed. If they are in line with your fold, then a less invasive lift or even proportionately sized implants on their own may improve perkiness.

Answer: Mastopexy Augmentation Thank you for the inquiry! A Mastopexy can be redone using your old incisions and implants or fat transfer can be done at the same time to add volume. We would love to see you in office or virtually to make sure you're a great candidate for this procedure, listen to your concerns, and create a surgical plan for you. I recommend scheduling a consultation appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon so we can help you reach your goals!

Answer: Refreshed Breasts Without seeing your breasts, it is impossible to say if you would need an anchor lift or if you could get the results you desire with a benelli lift that only goes around the areola. Implants can definitely be added during a lift. Another option for fullness is liposuction of abdomen or flanks, and the fat added to breasts to increase fullness if you still aren’t comfortable with implants. Feel free to reach out to my office for a consultation so I can go over what options are available to you. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455

Answer: Breast lift revision. Will I still require the “anchor” incision again? Without posted photos and the benefit of physical exam - it's difficult to comment accurately. Revision surgeries are complex and require a customized approach, including measurements, exam and accurate photos. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS to review the options

Answer: Relifting the Breasts After Previous Breast Lift A lift is always a possibility after having a previous lift. The best way to give advice on your situation is to review current photos of your breast and perform a live video consultation at a minimum. Ideally an in-person consultation is performed to allow for a complete examination of your breasts including measurements, current scar evaluation, volume assessments. It would nice to have a copy of your previous operative report to fully understand how the previous lift was performed inside the breast. Breast lifting techniques can vary and may dictate how the breasts are approached for a secondary procedure. We perform breast lifts in our office under local anesthesia. If an implant is added to the procedure then this requires general anesthesia.
