What Can I Do to Get my Breasts Standing Up Again?

       A breast lift or a small breast reduction may well be in order.  Adding implants will probably not achieve the outcome you desire given your back problems and desire for smaller breasts.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and breast reductions 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

If you're considering a surgical breast lift,
one way to see if it might help you is to put a pencil under your breast and
see if it stays there. If it does, a breast lift might be an option.  The only wayTo know is to haveAComplete examination any evaluationBy a board-certified plastic surgeon.


The most common breast lift operation, called mastopexy,
repositions the nipple higher on the chest wall. Women usually get this
procedure on an outpatient basis, meaning there's no overnight stay. It takes
about two hours and is usually done under general anesthesia.


 

Implants should not be used to lift a breast as this will
change in time, making the condition and droopiness worse in a matter of years.
It is almost impossible to give you an idea without a proper physical
examination.  There are a number of
measurements we used during our pre-operative consultation determined to
determine if a lift if needed.  Please
make sure you discussed this with your plastic surgeon and make sure or usable
over the pros and cons of each procedure. 
Best of Luck in your surgery!!
