Breast lift, reconstruction or implants - which procedure is right for me? (photo)

The technique I recommend is a breast lift using 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. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Dear JessicaO224,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You could probably get good results with just one surgery and faithful wearing of a breast band to help stretch the lower tissue. However, you will probably get your best results with expansion of the lower area first.

Your candidacy for breast augmentation is limited.
You have significant breast divergence and the distance between your nipple and IMF(infra mammary fold) is short.
The variables that limit your candidacy for augmentation will be put on display with the projection of the implants.
Your outcome is not going to look ideal and you need to ask yourself if you’re willing to have that kind of outcome
There is no easy procedure to give you a great looking breast augmentation.
The chance of you wanting or needing revision surgery is fairly high.
I think your sergeant was wise and not simply scheduling you for surgery.
Look for plastic surgeons who do most of the breast cancer reconstruction in your community.
It may be difficult to find examples of previous patients who had similar breast characteristics to your own to show you what your results are likely to look like.
The divergence Will be amplified, and the nipple will always look like it’s sitting low with most of the implant sitting above the nipple.
Opening up, the IMF increases the chance of having implants bottom out.
I would be especially cautious using large implants.
Ideally, you’d find a provider who can show you before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar breast characteristics.
I too, would be reluctant to move forward with breast augment
