Boob lift no implants (Photos)

I appreciate your question.

I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted.  It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.  

Best of luck!

A mastopexy or breast lift operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used for breasts which sag or droop (ptosis). Sagging of the breasts may occur with normal development for some women, or as part of the aging process. Pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss are other conditions which increase breast ptosis. Some patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an implant is used at the time of mastopexy. The procedure can also be combined with a minor breast reduction to reduce the breast width if desired. The surgery will create an elevated, more youthful breast contour. Also, the procedure will create nipple and areolae of the desired size and at the correct height. I prefer to use a #shortscar technique, #LollipopScar or #DonutLift” rather than the majority of surgeons in the United States that use an anchor pattern lift which involve more significant scarring.Implants and no lift is usually a mistake. Most breasts will look larger and droopier. They will sag more and sooner because of the excess weight.  The shape will usually not be satisfactory. There will sometimes be a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble.If the nipples are in a fairly high position on the breast or “glandular” ptosis or drooping, an implant may be useful.

Thank you for your question and helpful photos.

You are wise in avoiding breast implants as these can cause a myriad of complications in the near future subjecting you to revisionary procedures.  There's another option called The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method which reshapes and repositions your breasts high on the chest wall to create cleavage that resembles implants. With this method, care is taken to preserve nipple sensitivity, ability to breast-feed and breast tissue. The attached video is of a patient that wanted her breasts back to their original youthful position without implants and without a vertical incision.  You are welcome to visit my gallery to find women with similar dimensions as yours to see real results. This is a proprietary technique and only available by physicians trained in this method. I hope this helps. 

Best wishes and kind regards,

After looking at the photos I would expect a good result from a vertical breast lift, however there are other options. I would seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs these procedures often to discuss other options as well, but I would suggest a vertical mastopexy and correct some of your asymmetry at the same time.

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures.  I suggest you get a few in person consultations. You are on the edge of a vertical mastopexy vs a periareolar mastopexy.  I think understanding your hopes and expectations are important here in the discussion,  good luck.
