I was a 32DDD and swelled to a 36G while nursing my 2 kids. Now, 4 years after he last feeding, my boobs are saggy with stretch marks. I don't want implants, I think I have enough volume, just not in the right place. Is it possible to get a breast lift without implants?
Answer: Am I candidate for a breast lift without implants? The simple answer is yes. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and be very realistic about your potential cosmetic result. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Lift Yes, you would do well with just a lift since you have a nice volume of breast tissue for your size. Don't let anyone talk you into implants if you do not want them.

Answer: Lift sufficient Absolutely. If your goal is to get perkier breasts, then a breast lift would be sufficient. Breast augmentation would only be recommended if you’d like to be larger or achieve a significantly rounder shape.

Answer: Mastopexy Hi there! Thanks for your question. You are absolutely a candidate for a mastopexy (breast lift) without implants. I think the real determining factor would be what your expectations are. If you are ok with having smaller breasts and just using the tissue you have available, then that would be a great option for you. However, if you are looking for more fullness/volume you may need a small implant to achieve your desired size. I would recommend a consultation in person with a board certified plastic surgeon. Hope that helps!

Answer: Bellesoma Method 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, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Am I candidate for a breast lift without implants? Hello @HeatherWednesday thank you for your question and swing your picture. Yes, you are an ideal candidate for a breast lift. There is a good amount of breast fat and gland, this guarantees a similar result to if you had prosthesis. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to assess your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
