Dear muphinn,determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
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 and nipple sensation (in 95%) is maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
You have sagged over time and need another lift. Implants can be added for additional volume, but I would not go with a large size. Heavy implants will just stretch your sagging tissue and sag more quickly.
Nice posted photos. Might use High Profile450-500 cc implants with possible donut lift. fees from $6,000-$12,000. Beat to virtual consult with....
You need a lift since your breasts are sagging, but I do not recommend going larger. It is possible that these implants are still sitting a little high. measurements are needed to be certain.
Dear Perrenial, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper...
Behind the muscle gives better coverage and the lateral pockets can be tightened to minimize movement. However, you are thin and have fairly large implants which will always look somewhat fake.
