I’m going to get a breast reduction and lift. I’ve been advised by 3 doctors that I do not need an implant bc I have enough dense tissue. I’m second guessing getting an implant bc I want the results to last as long as possible. How long will a lift typically last if I do not have an implant? And should I go ahead and have one put in?

Answer: Reduction If the surgeons you saw were board certified plastic surgeons and all three agreed that an implant is not needed to achieve your surgical goals, then that is likely correct. If you are wanting upper pole fullness without an implant you may be a candidate for auto augmentation. This approach uses your own tissue to create fullness. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Should I get a breast implant if I have dense tissue? Hello @SuperMomof2, thank you for your question. If your considering a reduction you must have breast tissue to consider other options different to implants. How much the results of the procedure last depends on how you take care of your surgery. Gravity always acts on a breast, so we need to be able to define its characteristics well, since when you don't wear a bra, gravity goes downward, stretching the skin, and the heavier the sin, the more the skin will come down. I linked a video to shed more light. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
