I have been considering breast augmentation for quite some time. I have grade 2 ptosis-determined by myself through research. I understand the chances of/double bubble' but Iam willing to try larger subgaldular implants. I am not looking for perfect results but fuller and more upper pole projection. My question-as a surgeon would you agree to this in a patient who would have better results with a lift but wanted to take a chance with implants only? I am approx. 36 c /deflated thanks :)

Answer: Deflated breasts and ptosis Your previous question about weight loss ties in well to your current question and the need for a breast lift. Even without seeing pictures, I can tell with significant certainty that if you have grade 2 ptosis (about 3-5cm of breast droop), and you plan on further losing 20-40 lb, your best bet will be a breast implant WITH a breast lift.Good luck.Mark K Markarian, MD, MSPH

Answer: Refusing breast lift and choosing implants only. Deflated 36C My experience with women who need a lift with implants, but only choose the implants, is that they are almost never happy with the results. You should be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon who can do an exam to determine what exactly your needs are, and then can discuss all of your options with you, helping you to choose what is going to best meet your desires.

Answer: Going with larger subglandular implants rather than a lift? You MAY be a good candidate for a submuscular dual plane II or III approach without a lift. This needs to be determined by a surgeon experienced in this technique. The alternative of using larger implants in a subglandular plane may be the "kiss of death" because you are taking stretched out skin and stretching it even more to accommodate larger implants to avoid a lift. They may look good for 6 mos until they descend and descend they will! Go for a consultation from an experienced surgeon.
