I have lost 50lbs. I have had onebreast fat transfer. Immediately afterwards, following 350cc transferred, my breasts were up in the air and looking spectacular. Sadly about 60% of the fat died and these are my breasts now. Would getting a small implant such as 150-200 give me a lift? I just want to fill out the skin that was full once before. I’m 29.
Answer: Natural breast augmentation in general a smaller implant with a lower profile will appear more natural. I'd suggest doing 3D breast implant imaging to see exactly what a particular implant would look like on you.

Answer: Would a small implant correct my sagging? This is a somewhat complex question. Implants provide volume but very little lift. Your photos suggest you do not have a great deal of sagging, so implants alone may suffice. You've stated that you lost 60% of the 350cc of the fat that was transferred. The math would suggest that you've lost 210cc of volume. You likely also had some swelling after surgery so the volume you lost was probably even greater. Finally, the changes in the breast when using implants is not exactly the same as placing the same volume of fat so there is some guesswork involved. Discuss this thoroughly with your surgeon as he or she can provide the best estimate based on experience. Your surgeon may also want to consider having multiple implants available and using sizers during the surgery,

Answer: It can be improved with implants only. If we choose an implant of the right size, we anticipate a significant improvement in both sagging and the overall appearance. However, it appears that implants in the range of 150-200cc might not provide the desired outcome. It would likely be more beneficial to consider implants in the range of approximately 250cc for a more effective solution.

Answer: BA or breast lift Dear anongaghah, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Periareolar breast lift Hi from Istanbul! Considering your situation, my recommendation would be a periareolar breast lift rather than just an implant surgery. This method is likely to improve sagging by approximately 2 cm and would help delay sagging in the future. Opting for this could provide a more lasting solution to maintaining the uplifted appearance you desire. Best of luck!
