Will I benefit from breast lift with implants?

Question

Hi I had an unsuccessful vertical breast lift 8 months ago. I'm thinking about having another surgery and considering augmentation with implants. What worries me most is the asymmetry of the breasts and the different size of the areolas. I would like to enlarge my areolas and make my breasts the same size. Should I agree to implants?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You seem to have pseudoptosis which may be a result of your vertical lift and can be corrected with a different technique. You can add volume with implants in addition but this may not be necessary and cannot correct the problem alone.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and question. If you're considering a second surgery to correct the asymmetry and areola size from your previous breast lift, a revision procedure might be beneficial. Adding implants could provide additional volume and enhance the overall shape of your breasts, potentially giving you the symmetry and aesthetic you desire. It's important to have a thorough discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon to understand the potential outcomes and whether this approach aligns with your expectations.

It does look like your nipples were raised but your breasts still lack upper pole fullness. Implants may help fill out your breasts. Your areolae may also be resized during the procedure.

Hello and thank you for posting. Yes! I believe a breast lift implants are your only option and the asymmetry can be corrected with tissue removal and or rearrangement. Pretty straightforward surgery. You will love your results !

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. After 6 months to 1 year, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Vertical lifts don’t give much upper pole fullness and usually an implant is needed.  Your nipple appear low and if they are by measurement they should be lifted further as well

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, I honestly believe implants would help. I recommend that you put them in the retromammary subfascial plane and position the implants high. You have a very long chest overall. Once the implants are in, then you can adjust one or the other areola to match.  Use gel implants that don’t wrinkle as much - like Mentor Boost or Mentor Xtra Mod Plus. Good luck. Dr. Joe

Hi, thanks for your question and photos. You are a candidate for breast lift with implants. take your time to choose the size that you like and make you comfortable. The asymmetry can be repaired with the procedure. Good luck!

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

If you want more volume, add implants. Remember, adding implants adds more weight to breast that was stretched and sagging and you may sag more over time. Also, having implants always carries the risk of another breast surgery.  If you are happy with your size, then just go for the lift.
