Suggestions for a procedure of lift & mild augmentation for a natural look & improved shape?

Thank you for your question and photos. An examination in person is required to properly evaluate you and determine how to best help you achieve your goals. That said, a “natural” appearance can best be achieved with implants in a more predictable way than fat transfer. Based on your photos, a mastopexy is definitely indicated to reposition your nipple/areolae, reduce their diameter, and reshape the breast. The implant would increase overall volume and enhance upper pole fullness.

Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics seem to align with women based on his or her Before and After gallery. Best of luck to you.

Mild forms of TBD can be undiagnosed often leading to incorrect or incomplete surgery. The surgery must address all of the anatomical problems including: breast fold malposition, constricted or narrow breast base. Surgical procedures may include the following:

Hi. I think you could have a very nice result with a breast lift and implant. You can choose a very small implant so that you won't look much larger, but having the implant will help fill some of the deflated area at the top of your breasts. Alternatively, breast lift and fat grafting is possible, but may not provide as good of shape especially at the top. Talk to a surgeon with lots of experience with cosmetic breast surgery so you can get a better idea of what to expect with the different options. Best of luck!

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. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

I am not a big fan of fat transfers to the breast. I believe you would be very happy with a small implant and the standard mastopexy . I’m not certain a fat transfer would make you as happy, nor do I think a breast implant alone will make you as perky as you want to be.
Good luck,
