How can I get high boobs on my chest? (photos)

Question

I don’t understand why I can’t have high boobs. I see women on here with high boobs. Is there an anatomical reason it cannot be done on my chest? I’d like to revisit implants but only if they can be high and perky not large. Did I end up hangy bc it’s too large? I put them up higher on my chest with a bra every day. They go there, why can’t they be placed up there?

Good morning!
I noticed you have posted a number of questions, so let me wrap it all up in one answer:
Pain-
 this is usually due to one of two things- capsular contracture, which 
you do not appear to have, or bottoming out, which you may have just the
 beginnings of. In bottoming out, the weight of the implants hanging on 
the skin pulling on the nerves at first can create a dull, heavy, 
hanging achy feeling that can eventually progress to real pain. To 
correct this I use the Internal Bra- my strong permanent internal 
suturing technique which lifts and supports your implants over the long 
term will give you better cleavage and upper pole fullness.
Remove
 Now and Replace Later? That's a so-so option, but it's going to be more
 expensive and time consuming. I don't see why you would want or need to
 do that unless you were thinking of taking them out and leaving them 
out....otherwise there really isn't a benefit
Your PS is a Lost 
Cause- sounds like it's time to move on and seek a revision specialist 
who can achieve your goals- make sure whomever you choose can show you 
lots and lots of photos of their own repairs
Having Perky Smaller 
Breasts Higher on Your Chest- that's what the Internal Bra also does- 
places your implants much higher on your chest and supports them there 
over the long term. You should also select different implants- they 
don't have to be bigger, they should just be more perky, like the Mentor
 HP Xtra implants or overfilled saline implants, depending on your 
preference
I think that about wraps it up- my recommendations would be one stage, Internal Bra and Implant Exchange. Hope this helps- email me if you have any other questions!

Hi pinkvock,

Upper pole fullness is achieved with appropriate implant selection but more importantly, submuscular placement, and precise pocket dissection. The submuscular placement allows the muscle to cover the top part of the implant which allows the upper pole to appear fuller. Keeping away from the lateral chest during pocket dissection allows the implant to remain higher and prevents it from falling off to the side.
  
If you are considering a breast revision surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Breast implants are heavy and descend with gravity.  The larger the implant the more descent.  An alternative technique is explantation using The Bellesoma Method.  The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.  At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.  Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years.  Fat transfer is permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Raja Mohan, MD · Answer

Larger breast implants tend to descend over time which may be giving the appearance you are referring to. If you are looking for more upper pole fullness, one option is fat transfer. The other is a lift in conjunction with placement of a different sized implant. This would help get the look you are aiming for but the trade off is having multiple incisions.

From what yo are showing, you want a breast lift. Discuss with your surgeon but you may not want the scars that come with a lift.
