I am wanting to get a breast lift but want upper pole fullness without an implant. Is it possible with my type of breasts to have a lift and auto augmentation? I'd like to avoid the anchor lift but I have a large amount of ptosis and from what I've read the lollipop or lejour may not work on me. I went to a consultation but was only offered the anchor lift and no auto augmentation. Please help!

Answer: Auto Augmentation Hello,Using your own breast tissue for upper pole fulness would be ideal, and many a surgeon has tried to create a mastopexy (breast lift) that would accomplish this. Unfortunately, variations on incisions, various tissue 'pedicles', and the use of internal sutures has not really changed the inevitable: a mastopexy is a skin bra, and the internal breast tissue has no supporting system. The bigger the breast, the greater the skin stretch after surgery, with the subsequent loss of upper pole fulness. Your breasts appear large, and without adequate reduction, you'll be looking at a persistently hanging breast in a short period of time if you opt for a skin only mastopexy. Best of luck!

Answer: Implant with lift The upper pole fullness you desire will not be long lasting without a small implant placed at the same time.
