I am looking to get UHP 650cc, upper pole fullness, Mentor silicone implant. I have sagging from weight loss. I went to a consult today and the Dr. said I would not look like the photos I showed him (as shown), and he didn’t recommend a lift now but maybe in the future. I don’t want to get implants and be unhappy because they might sag down the road. Also he explained UHP is not a look it’s an implant. Also he said he would put them in subglandular which would give me for fullness up top. Also one of my boobs is lower than the other - will be implants be crooked? I am 33, 5”7, 124 pounds.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Lift Your breasts are too low on the chest wall and asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. Implants alone will not solve your problem. Also, 650 cc implants weigh 1 ½ lbs each. The implants will have to be centered underneath the nipple-areola complex which requires releasing the inframammary fold resulting in further descent and bottoming out. Instead, I recommend 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 can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast Lift and Implants Thanks for the photos. The photos of patients you have put up are patients who are all implant and minimal breast tissue. Also they did not get any lift and you would benefit from a lift. The implants you are looking at will give you upper pole fullness whether you put them in front or behind the muscle, however, given all the complications associated with implants in front of the muscle, most of us will not put implants in front of the muscle for the benefit of the patient.You have some asymmetry and would definitely benefit from a lift to get you more symmetrical and with placement of implants. You can certainly do both procedures at the same time. Another option that I will throw out at you would be to have a breast reduction and remove as much of the breast tissue you have and then in 4 months later come back for implant placement. This way you can get closer to the look you are trying to achive.Make certain you see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your surgical options.Hope that helps.
