Had 2 consults & both stated I needed a lift w/implants. Anchor incision would be used. Questions? First, once you have surgery do the little bumps around your areola return? Second, my Dr. states he does nerve blocks down each side of the rib cage and this helps with pain for several days. Does it work? Third, any thoughts or advice for me? Is it worth it, any regrets? Stats: 36C, 137 lbs., 5'2". I nursed 2 kids a total of 25 months and lost 60 lbs. Considering 500cc Mentor Silicone Gel. Thanks

Answer: Implants and a lift Whether or not it is worth it, is really up to you if you desire to move forward. Blocks can help with the pain but so can anesthetic placed in the pocket. Whether or not that implant is right for you depends upon the exam.

Answer: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there are no pictures. There are three types of breast lifts. A donut lift goes just around the nipple areolar complex. A lollipop lift is also called a vertical lift. The incision goes around your nipple areolar complex and extends to your breast fold. An anchor lift is like a vertical lift with the addition of a transverse incision in your breast fold. I utilize the HALPERN breast marker, which I invented, when performing the above lifts. Post operative pain is not an issue as per my patients. Because there are no pictures I don't know which would be best for you. In regards to breast implant size, we have special breast sizers that you can place in your bra to get an idea of what the different size implants will look like on you. Patients find this very helpful. I hope you find this information useful. For more information please watch the enclosed video.
