I am a 33 year old 5’5 143 pounds breastfed two children but have always been saggy. I sent my surgeon some photos in order to secure a surgery date and I stated I wanted about 400 cc hp + lift. He responded that with a lift he could only do 240-280 but achieve the 400 look. I was a bit disappointed to hear that because 240 to 280 seems very small I’m not sure if it’s worth it. This doctor has great reviews great photos so I’m sure he’s correct but just want opinions, is 400 doable?
Answer: Breast lift I agree somewhat with your surgeon. When a lift is done with implants, larger implants make the procedure more difficult and tougher to get a good result. Other surgeons would do the 400 if you wanted. Just want to explain the reasoning behind a lift with implants

Answer: Doable When performing a lift, you do NOT want to place large implants. You do NOT want to place high profile implants either as there is far too much anterior projection for the given base width. It seems that your surgeon knows what they are doing. I would have them perform a simulation to make it easier for you to see the possible results. This can be done with Vectra, Crisalix or even PhotoShop.

Answer: Might be ok; Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The most important factor in your outcome will be the lift procedure done. The lift 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. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: In-person consultation Hello, It sounds like you may have had a virtual consultation - and perhaps not a video one. I would recommend an in-person consultation to not only have your surgeon perform measurements of your chest or Vectra 3D imaging to perform measurements and give you a rendering of your results, but to be able to show you photos of similar patients and for you to try on sizers so that you feel comfortable with the implant size chosen. The surgeon is likely accomodating for your natural breast tissue; however, as I said you should feel comfortable going forward with surgery and confident with you and your surgeon's choice of implants.
