1 surgeon told me I could if I had a very small implant and used mesh. Another one told me I would need to do a two stage procedure. Attached are my current photos and then goal photos. For the goal photos I understand I won’t be able to each that size I just like the shape. For reference im a 34b the breast fold to nipple length is 4cm. My gap is also 4cm. I’m 110 and 5’3.
Answer: One vs two stage One stage augmentation mastopexy has been shown to be safe and achieve excellent outcomes. Historically, these were treated as two stage operations and some surgeons still feel the best outcomes are achieved by staging these procedures given the safety and blood supply to the breast. The degree of ptosis or distance of nipple / areolar lift is often times the deciding factor. I most commonly perform these in a one stage manner and I personally feel you are a good candidate for a one stage surgery.

Answer: Can I have one stage? Yes based on the photos you can consider having breast augmentation and a lift performed in the same surgical day. For healthy candidates these procedures are commonly performed together with beautiful results. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Lift and augmentation It depends on the experience of your surgeon and what is considered the safest and most effective treatment for you. Some surgeons prefer doing a lift and augmentation at one time, while others prefer to stage them. It would be best to go with the surgeon you trust most.

Answer: Single Stage Breast Augmentation and Lift is Possible The decision to undergo single stage versus two staged breast augmentation with breast lift procedures is complicated. From a safety and outcome perspective, staging the procedures may allow for a more optimal result. In the first stage, the mastopexy is performed to allow proper placement of the nipple and redistribution of the breast tissue. In the second stage, an implant can then easily be placed. With all that said, I routinely perform single stage procedures and obtain excellent results. In your particular case, a breast lift may not be needed as it does appear that your nipple is above or at least at the level of the Inframammary fold. By expanding the inferior pole tissue with parenchymal scoring and an implant, you may achieve a good result without a lift. The implant could also be placed subfascially or subglandularly to decrease the distance between your breasts and to give a more full/round appearance. You should discuss your care with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will be able to provide more information. Thank you for your question!
