I've had 2 BA consultations and I was shocked when I was told I needed a full anchor lift by both doctors. The first doctor suggested that I could just have augmentation first and then lift later if needed and second doctor recommended a full lift. Looking for volume after having 2 children. Liked the look of 450-475 cc sizers. Any input would be appreciated!
Answer: Mastopexy with Breast Augmentation Thank you for your questions.If you are looking for volume increase with natural looking breasts implants alone would suffice. If however you want to look very perky I would recommend a vertical scar only (Lollipop Technique) breast lift in addition to augmentation. Judging by your photographs you do not have too much loose skin, and when required, a vertical scar technique would give superior results with less scaring. If you just have implants you can always have a lift later on if you so desire. All The Best !

Answer: Lollipop Technique Has Advantages Over Anchor Pattern in most cases From your photos (exam needed for best opinion) it appears you would be a reasonable candidate for a lollipop type of lift which is about half the scars associated with many anchor lifts. Maybe you should have one more opinion from a plastic surgeon with experience in this technique. Anchor pattern lifts are unusual in my practice over the past 15 years except for exteme cases since using the lollipop technique.

Answer: Implants or breast lift? Although physical exam is needed to confirm my advice, it appears from your photos that subglandular augmentation may fit your needs. Placement of higher profile implants below just the Breast tissue and over the chest muscle may provide you with larger and perkier breasts without a formal Breast lift with anchor scars. This technique will not give you as much lift as a formal augmentation mastopexy, but the trade off for less lift is less scars!

Answer: Breast augmentation with lift - considerations for success An in-person examination is required to answer this question - its possible that you might not need a breast lift at all. You photos are not taken from a standard angle, so its difficult to tell where your nipple is in relationship to the fold beneath your breast. We're happy to see you in Seattle for a consultation.

Answer: Breast lift for Sweetie? Hi there. Before considering the following comments, be advised that they are somewhat provisional because of the poor photos. In the frontal photo, one arm is elevate and the right nipple and shoulder are lower than the left so that the apparent distortion may nullify the commentary.As far as the "need" for a breast lift (mastopexy), the procedure is justified (or not) by the objectives of the patient and her tolerance to additional incisions. On cursory exam of the left breast, I see no need or indication for breast lift. The breast is deflated but it is not ptotic ( droopy). A Dual plane augmentation should suffice beautifully. As far as the right breast goes, the need to lift the breast is primarily a function of the patient's desire for optimal symmetry in exchange for more incisions. Is she willing to trade incisions for better symmetry? Without some manner of lifting, the right side may appear a bit lower than the left.
