I have had two pregnancies and weight loss. I have gone from a D cup to not even filling a A cup. I have very little breast tissue. I had teardrop shape breast before they became deflated. My breast were flat in the upper poles with most of the volume in the bottom. I don't know if it's possible, but I was hoping to achieve the same look I had before with an implant and minimal lift. Is this possible or do I have too much extra skin for a concentric breast lift?
Answer: New concentric lift technique You are an excellent candidate for a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, implants can be placed. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. I never use the vertical scar techniques such as the lollipop or boat anchor shaped incisions because the scars are unacceptable. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Are my breasts too droopy for a concentric breast lift? This may be the case, but an exam would be helpful in this case.For the lift, I typically start with the smallest incision and custom tailor each breast lift to the shortest scar possible. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Are my breast too droopy for a concentric breast lift? Looking at the one picture you posted, it's seems you will need a breast lift. Sadly if you were to place implants without some sort of lift, you would end up with "a rock in a sock" look. Most definitely, that is not the look you are trying to achieve!

Answer: Do I need a full lift Thanks for your inquiry and picture, but without an exam and view of your breasts from the side it is hard to know for sure. From the picture you provided I think a full lift would do the most good.

Answer: Are my breast too droopy for a concentric breast lift? Based on your photograph, I think that you will do best with a “full” breast lift. A circumareolar breast lift is simply not powerful enough to treat the loose/low skin.Most patients (If properly selected and who are doing the operations and the right time of their lives) accept the scars associated with breast augmentation/breast lifting surgery as long as they are happy with the improvement in contour, size, and symmetry. This acceptance of the scars is the essential “trade-off” associated with many of the procedures we do and the field of plastic surgery. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
