Im 5'6 and curvier. I am getting a lift and augmentation in march. and want to to go around around 700 to 800cc. Should i go over the musclee or under ? Am i able to choose my own cc?
Answer: Lift with 700cc-800 cc - over or under muscle? Lift and augmentation with implants are two mutually exclusive procedures. Based on the limited photos posted - It appears that you a candidate for an extended mastopexy/lift with possible reduction- as you already sufficient breast volume. A smaller implant can be placed at the time of a lift, but not 700-800cc .

Answer: Breasts With lifts, I prefer to place the implants behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness and more support for the weight of the implants. With such heavy implants as 700-800 cc's, the implant may drop behind the muscle. I do not recommend going with such a heavy size as 700-800 cc's for you. This volume will just give you larger and still sagging breasts. The wish photos you show are not pretty breasts and just sag. Plus that size will stretch and thin your own tissue a fair amount. If you choose that size, there is no point in doing a lift since it will not hold. Big breasts sitting on your lap are not pretty.

Answer: Bellesoma Method 700-800 cc implants would never fit under the muscle and would extrude inferior and laterally. If you want something this large then it would have to be in front of the muscle. Implants this large placed in front of the muscle will stretch the skin and will descend down the chest wall. I recommend 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 or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast lift The implant sizes you mention are quite large. In your case I would just do the lift first and then add implants at a second stage. Mire surgeons are doing that these days in cases like yours. You will get a better result with less risk. I would not go above 500’s but that your choice

Answer: Single-stage augmentation mastopexy Most well trained surgeons are more restrictive in terms of implant volume during a single stage lift with an augmentation. This is especially true in patinets needing a significant lift. This is because combing a larger lift with a very large implant can put a great deal of stress on the nipple and can affect blood supply. In patients seeking significant volume increases, I generally recommend undergoing a staged operation with the lift being performed first followed by the breast augmentation as a second surgery. this decreases the risk of nipple necrosis and sets the foundation/breast shape prior to a larger increase in volume that comes with a larger implant. I would caution you from trying to pursue this as a single-stage operation. Sean Fisher Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonSeattle, WA
