I had a baby & after breast feeding my breasts completely deflated and my nipples enlarged then after breast feeding I lost all volume and my breast were so saggy! Got breast augmentation in July and @ the pre op visit the doctor said I barely passed the "no lift needed" test & that 350 cc would do the trick to completely fill me up. Well... This is the result. I still feel empty and one breast sags extremely more than the other! What should I do or say to him? Is this on him or am I SOL?

Answer: Sagging after implants
It sounds like your doctor thought you were borderline for needing a breast lift to begin with. I would discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. You have not burned any bridges here. You can still do a breast lift operation to center your breast tissue over your implants. In fact, many doctors prefer to do breast lifts and breast augmentations as two separate procedures rather than during a single operation.

Answer: Breast augmentation
I have never had a patient request a lift when she thought she could "get away with" larger implants. In your particular case it seems that it would have given a better result to place implants and do a lift at the same time, but as is often the case, a decision is made to try implants only. If you are not happy, then you need to complete the operation with a lift. Patients try to avoid the lift because of scarring, but afterwards most are happy with the trade-off.
Good luck
