I wear a 36B, one breast is not close to filling it all the way and the other barely does. I want a lift and implants to make both breasts a full C cup. I have no fullness at the cleavage and I want to have an actual normal-shaped breast I am concerned about my nipple size and a vertical scar post surgery. Since I have a tuberous breast deformity, should the implant go above or below the muscle? Am I a candidate to get implants placed through my arm pit? I scar very easily so this is a concern.
Answer: Breast lift or implants The breast lift is the most important part of your procedure. You need to raise the areolas and decrease their diameter. A small implant is optional. If you add an implant, I would recommend a small implant of approximately 200cc or less. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation Recommendations? Because plastic surgery is art as well as science and because there is insufficient scientific data to support one technique over others, controversy exists among surgeons about the "best" way for many procedures, including those you are considering. As it turns out, the best way is often the way an individual surgeon has found that he or she achieves their best results. One answer certain, there is little if any justification for "armpit" (axillary) approach for implant placement in your situation, because breast lift necessitates scars on breast. This more direct approach should be utilized for augmentation. Your surgeon should pay significant attention to scar management during and after your procedure.

Answer: Can you give me suggestions/recommendations for my breast lift and augmentation? It is in the nature of plastic surgery that you will receive many different opinions as to the best way to proceed. As you have found, whether the breast lift and augmentation should be done the same time is not a question agreed-upon by all plastic surgeons. There are good plastic surgeons who will insist on doing the procedures separately and there are good plastic surgeons who can produce excellent outcomes in a single stage.

Answer: Suggestions on breast lift/aug Thank you for your question. From your photos it is pretty clear you will need a vertical breast lift and augmentation to get the result you want. This can be done in either one or two stages depending on your exam. I typically place the implants under the muscle to prevent rippling. The implant will be placed through the lift incision so an armpit incision is not needed. Good luck!
