I was wondering if I need a lift with breast augmentation? It is more then I wanted to spend. I was hoping just for an augmentation. Also, they want me to do over the muscle and another says I can do under. Please give me some insight.

Answer: Do I need a lift? From the submitted photos your nipple is located below the level of the breast fold which generally indicates that a lift is recommended. You can elect to have either above or below muscle placement for the augmentation portion. Below muscle offers some benefits in that it carries a lower risk of capsular contracture and the muscle provides some implant coverage on the upper portion of the breast. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Bellesoma Method You are a poor candidate for breast augmentation. You have a large skin envelope, your breasts are widely separated and you have no cleavage. You would benefit from a breast lift using 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, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
