Should I get a breast lift with my augmentation?

RiverchampOct 29, 2016

I wanted a breast lift only. I am a 34D and really don't want to be any larger. The sagging is my priority. My concern is moving the nipple and the scars. Ive seen a doctor, he recommend implants instead of a lift. He suggested 300CC. Is that too big? Will I get the lift I want? I am worried they will be heavier and sag more. He didn't measure me so I don't know if I have a grade one ptosis or two. I also want lipo on my outer thigh and I heard they can use that fat in the breasts.

While many/most surgeon would say this is not needed(as it really isn't for total knee and hip prosthesis either), IF you actually want a benefit, you need to take the abx at least 1 hour prior to dental work. Taking the medication after won't really do much as the horse is already out of the barn.

Breast implants will not bring your nipple closer. Your breast and nipple will have the same general orientation after your augmentation.
