I am 5’10” and around 155lbs. I’ve lost the upper pole fullness in my breasts. I want that back. I was previously a 34I and now I’m a deflated 34D. I think I could accommodate a larger implant given my height. I’ve had two surgeons tell me different things. One said no lift and the other said a lift with implants. What do you think?
Answer: Augmentation mastopexy I think to truly answer your question would involve an in person consultation. While an implant will absolutely give you more upper pole fullness, it is my opinion that you would need a mastopexy procedure in addition to obtain the optimal result. This would involve resection of a small amount of skin but would help to redistribute the skin over top of Your breast and any implant that may be placed. There are also auto augmentation techniques which involves using your own excess breast tissue and redistributing it to improve projection without an implant. Again your candidacy for this procedure would involve a formal consultation to confirm that this would be best. We do the surgery very commonly in our practice.

Answer: Breast lift with implants The best way to increase the upper pole fullness is breast augmentation surgery. A breast lift would be performed at the same time if the breasts are deflated and sagging. That would require an assessment of the nipple position and skin quality. Based on your photographs, you need a breast lift with augmentation to get the best results.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They then get to choose what looks right for them. 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast lift recommended Your nipples are located below your breast fold, so a full breast lift would be recommended. Implants alone would not give you upper pole fullness since they would be centred behind your nipples, which are low on your chest.

Answer: Improving upper pole fullness A combined mastopexy augmentation will have the greatest effect on improving deflation, restoring upper pole fullness, reshaping the breast and optimizing nipple position. The higher the profile of the implant you choose, the more upper pole fullness you'll notice. Fat grafting is another tool that can be used to selectively customize cleavage lines where desired.
