I am 28, 5’5, 135lbs, c cup, and want a lift +implants. I’ve gone to 2 different doctors for consultations and they could not have said more opposite things 1: only do over the muscle, max 400cc (ssx silicon), will to do different cc’s due to uneven breast size 2: only do under the muscle, will go up to 450cc (ssf silicon), will use same size in both and take out tissue of the larger breast. I’m confused why they would be so different and if anything is better for what I am looking to do
Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. Augment/Lift- under the muscle for a more natural look; After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They then get to choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Lift I always place implants behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness and support in women who need a lift. Placing the implant in front of the muscle requires that your stretched out tissue support more weight. I also recommend not going with a large and heavy implant for your stretched out tissue will not support this well over time. Smaller implants work better for women who need lifts. Over time, removing excess breast tissue and giving you the same size in both breasts may work better, especially if you have any weight gain over time. However, it does not have to be done and you may lose more sensation with breast tissue being removed. I would suggest looking at photos of women similar to you with both surgeons and see whose work you prefer.

Answer: Different opinions about size of implant and plcement You have heard two different approaches currently present in breast augmentation/lift. One is placement of implant underneath, the orher, on top of the muscle (your are candidate for both). Some surgeons, myself included, preffer placing implants underneath the muscle when performing breast lift simultaneously; blood sypply to the breast is better preserved. In the case of visible asymmetry, I am in favour of reduction of larger breast and augmentation with same size implants. When it comes to size (volume) of the implants, difference of 50 ml will not make any visible difference; it is only 10% of the implant volume and, very likely, 5% of total breast volume. I hope this may help you to make right decision and select right surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method 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, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breast lift + implants Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Both doctors should be able to achieve your desired goal. You are a good candidate for this procedure and you will need to discuss the pros and cons of both options with your surgeon.
