Hi , this questions is piggybacked to my original question .Will I need a lift if I go from 525 cc moderate plus silicone to 400 cc high profile? Trying to avoid a lift at all cost . Might consider a donut bc the scat is hidden around Areola. Please advise.

Answer: Breast Lift with implant exchange Thank you for submitting your questions and photos. Typically, when you decrease the size of your implants and change the profile to a high profile, it usually means you will have a narrower implant. It is very common to also need a breast lift in order to tighten up the breast skin so that the narrower implant does not misshapen the breast. You will need to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to see if an areolar incision pattern would narrow the breast enough for the smaller implant. Unfortunately, this incision pattern can help raise the level of the areola and decrease its size, but does not tighten up the lower pole of the breast enough. You may require a vertical incision to accomplish this. A plastic surgeon can walk you through all of these options. Good luck and thanks again for reaching out.

Answer: Do I need a lift if a change to a smaller implant Not necessarily but it’s important for the surgeon to determine the location of your nipple in relationship to your bottom breast fold, and the distance from your nipple to your bottom breast fold (determines expanded lower breast pole skin). These findings help determine if you have excess skin that needs to be removed necessitating a mastopexy. All the best!
