Want a more youthful shape and height - advice for a breast lift? (photos)

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.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for breast lift. This can be done in a way to achieve upper pole fullness.

To accurately answer this question would require an in person physical examination of your breasts. I suspect that after an exam, the recommendation would be for a breast lift.

Thank you for your inquiry! It looks like from your photos that you would be a great candidate for a Mastopexy procedure. We would love to meet you in person or virtually to discuss your surgical options and create a surgical plan targeted towards your goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a plan for you!

I would recommend a low profile breast implant placed below the muscle plus an inverted T ("anchor type") breast lift. The implant will help restore firmness and upper pole fill. The lift will help re-centralize the breast over a lifted breast mound higher on the chest.

Thank you for your question. It is very normal and very common to have changes in breast shape and size after having children, breastfeeding and/ or with weight loss. A breast lift (also called a mastopexy) is designed to remove excess loose skin of the breast and raise the breast tissue and nipple position higher on the chest wall. During the procedure some of the breast tissue can either be removed (if a smaller breast size is desired), or can be advanced from the lower aspect of the breast to the upper aspect of the breast to give more fullness in this area (also called an auto augmentation). During the consultation with your surgeon, it would be important for you to express your specific goals which would then determine the optimal approach.

This is a great question. A breast lift (or mastopexy) would be a good way improve the shape and height of your breast, improving the position of your nipples and areolas. To a small extent, it may help with filling your breast envelope since it has become a little deflated after pregnancy. To improve the upper pole/part of your chest and breasts, a breast lift can help to an extent - it may not give enough fullness the top part of you bra. For this, you can consider a small implant or fat grafting (liposuction from one area and transferred to the breasts) in combination with the breast lift. Hope this helps.

You are a candidate for breast lift with implants. The breast lift will elevate the position of your nipple and tighten your skin envelope to make your breast less lax. Adding a small to moderate size implant will add the upper pole fullness that you desire.

Based on the photos you have provided, a breast lift, also known as mastopexy will be recommended by most board-certified plastic surgeons. This procedure is required to raise,reshape and tighten sagging breasts - to create a more youthful and lifted appearance.

I offer a specialized breast lift technique that not only lifts the breasts but also redistributes volume to the upper pole, resulting in a more augmented and sculpted appearance. The procedure involves removing excess fat and breast tissue from the lower breast and then using micro fat grafting to enhance the upper breast, creating increased cleavage and upper pole fullness. This approach is more durable compared to traditional skin removal/tightening methods, which may stretch out over time. Additionally, I reinforce the area under the most tension by overlapping the dermal collagen in the inferior breast.

There are optional techniques that I offer my patients to enhance breast shape/firmness and increase upper pole volume and longevity. One such method involves incorporating a small implant, not to increase breast size but to enhance breast shape. The small implant is positioned near the upper breast pole and this can improve the breast shape and firmness. The mastopexy is then performed to reduce and lift the nipple-areola, reduce lower pole volume and tighten the skin.

Another approach involves using Galaflex Mesh, a knitted surgical implant, to provide extra support during a breast lift. This FDA-approved implant is made of a biocompatible material that the body eventually safely resorbs. The mesh is placed internally to reinforce the breast structure, helping to maintain the lifted position and enhancing the longevity of the results.

Ultimately, the goal of my breast lift is to provide the patient with improved breast aesthetics and confidence, addressing the sagging concerns and achieving a more youthful appearance. I tailor the procedure to the patient's specific needs and preferences, ensuring a successful outcome.

Hi Cheerful706104,
Based on your photos, a breast lift would be a good option. Breast lift will actively change the internal shape of the breast, by repositioning the breast tissue, while also removing extra skin and moving the nipple to vertically higher position while decreasing the size of the areola. Based on your stated concerns, a lift would be a reasonable option. Depending on your size and shape goals, a lift will generally provide central fullness, but not necessarily be upper pole fullness that you are speaking of. An implant is the only way to achieve that upper pole fullness. I would suggest meeting with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon to discuss her best options.
Hope this helps.
