Have my first ba appointment in october planning on getting 550cc over muscle, high profile. I have two kids that i breast fed. 21 yrs old, 5'4 135 lbs. My concern is my breasts are too saggy for just implants. I do not want a lift because of scars, want to look natural bigger and full, but concerned i will not have good result.
Answer: Implants on saggy breasts Thank you for your question and photo. A breast lift with implants would give you the best result. The shape of the breast will trump the scars. Scars will fade and become less noticeable over time. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to fully discuss your questions. Best wishes.

Answer: Best shape for sagging: mastopexy A woman who’s had a pregnancy. Maybe her breasts has become either just deflated, or the skin has been stretched from pregnancy, and or breastfeeding. And now is in a lower position than she would like. So by doing the breast lift, we can tighten the breast.This will provide the best shape.

Answer: Ultimate Breast Lift™ 550 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each, will displace inferiorly and laterally requiring revision.If your breasts are hanging low now, the additional weight will make them hang even further.Implants alone will not be successful.Instead, I recommend a new technique called The Ultimate Breast Lift™.The breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.This technique avoids the ugly vertical scars of the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed.Implants can be placed at the same time if desired.I always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable and less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size but if you are 32 or 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.If you are 36 or 38 each 200 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.From this, you can compute the volume required to achieve your desired goal.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Saggy Breasts It is always difficult to make recommendations from photographs.Barring a full examination, it seems plain that you need a mastopexy. A breast augmentation without correcting your droop is not a viable option. With your mastopexy, either saline or silicone gel implants would serve you well. You are considering quite large implants and it is important to understand that this will promote early sagging and a possible need for a secondary mastopexy.A comprehensive consultation with a plastic surgeon, board-certified in plastic surgery, would allow you to understand the range of possibilities available for you.

Answer: Saggy deflated breasts: do I need a lift? Although a subglandular position of a large implant may give an acceptable result, it will not lift your breasts, so they would be larger, but still not be perky. I think you would be better served with a lift at the time of your implants, and consider smaller implants. You have substantial amount of breast tissue, so with a large implant they will tend to fall with time.
