Hi. I had saline implants under the muscle with a lift in 2010. Explant with another lift after weight gain in 2019. I've lost 25lbs since then so I need another lift and would love scarring to be less drastic, there's bulging scars that have been there since 2019 surgery and now sagging. Can I just get another breast lift? I don't mind if they're small, but I want them full and perky. Hoping I don't need implants again.
Answer: Revision breast lift Thank you for your query. You can certainly have another breast lift. I would, however, recommend augmentation with some fat as well, as there will be some volume loss with the lift . There are several scar treatments that can help postoperatively.

Answer: Considering options A breast lift will help remove the excess skin, but if you are wanting full and perky breasts you will want to consider adding an implant. It can be a conservatively sized implant, but more volume would help create a more aesthetically pleasing shape. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Revision mastopexy Hello,Based on your photographs, you have glandular ptosis. This occurs when the nipples remain in a relatively good position, but the breast tissue sags along the lower portion of the breast. There is often loss of volume in the upper portion of the breast. The sagging can be corrected by removing excess skin along the lower portion of the breast utilizing the inframammary fold incision only. While I think this would improve the overall shape of the breasts, I do not think you have enough native breast volume to create significant upper pole fullness. If you would like to avoid a breast implant, fat grafting would be an option. However, the Increase in upper pole fullness would likely be more subtle than what you would get with a breast implant and also would depend on the availability of donor sites for fat transfer. I would recommend choosing a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has extensive experience in revisional breast surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Implants & Scar Revision Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, your nipple-areolar complex is above the level of your inframammary fold, which means that you don't need a breast lift. Since you have a small amount of fat, fat transfer wouldn’t be a reliable option. The most reliable and predictable way to achieve fuller breasts would be to have an implant placed. Implants can restore the fullness you desire, especially in the upper part of your breasts, giving you that perky and full look. Also, your scar revision can be performed to improve the appearance of your scars, smoothing out any irregularities or bulging. You should discuss implant options with your surgeon to find the best fit for your goals.
