I met with a plastic Surgeon a year and a half ago regarding a breast lift. I feel I'm ready to go ahead with it. However. I am really on the fence about getting an implant as well. My breasts are very heavy saggy DD cup. I really want them to be firm and not flattened when I wear things. I would love to never wear underwire again. I really don't want to go bigger. I would just really like them to be rounder and firmer not flattened. Can I do this without an implant and still have what I want?
Answer: Breast lift Thank you for your question. Based on your concerns and review of your photos I believe you would get plenty of fullness with a breast lift alone. I think this would be the best and safest first step. I suspect regardless of the procedure you will need some support with an underwire bra, but this is just a guess. Remember, an implant can always be placed at a later stage but I would not necessarily recommend this initially based on your photographs. Good luck!

Answer: I really want them to be firm and not flattened when I wear things. Should I get a breast lift with or without implants? Rounder, firmer and not flat kind of all point toward an implant. Natural tissue always likes to take on a natural shape after surgery.

Answer: Should I get a breast lift with or without implants? Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full mastopexy (breast lift) which will put your nipples into the correct position, decrease the size of nipple/areola and allow excess skin to be taken away, giving you a more youthful, lifted and firmer looking breasts. Some people are a little apprehensive to the full breast lift due to the scars, but typically they do very well. You may be happy with just a lift and no implants, but if you get the lift done first, then you haven't burned any bridges to move forward with the implants at another time. I would make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and talk with your surgeon about the exact look you desire. Good luck!

Answer: Breast lift without implants You will certainly benefit from a breast lift, and I would recommend a Galaflex internal bra rather than implants. The bra will support the weight of the breasts and help maintain upper pole fullness.

Answer: Bellesoma Lift If you are already a DD then you do not need implants but do need a breast lift. 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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
