I am currently a 34C/32d with some sagging. My surgeon reccomended a periareolar lift with subglandular placement of silicone implants. Her rationale is because I have a lot of breast tissue already and it will camouflage Impant. She also felt that my breast tissue could sag below the implant if I go submuscular. Another surgeon an anchor lift with sub muscular placement. I would like some advice on what the best course of action would be

Answer: Procedure choice - augmentation & mastopexy Thank you for your enquiryThis is a difficult one to answer without seeing you in person and discussing the nuances of decision making. Whilst it may not be helpful, there is no right answer here and both options suggested are perfectly acceptable treatments. It would also be possible to use an anatomical implant in isolation reserving a mastopexy for the future if you were not happy with nipple position down the line.The bottom line is that you need to feel comfortable with your surgeon and ask lots of questions to make sure you understand the process and to enable expectations to be relaisedGood luck!

Answer: I am currently a 34c/32d with some sagging. My surgeon suggested a periareolar lift with subglandular placement Thank you for your pictures and questions. The standard for your case would be a submuscular implant with a small lift. You could be a candidate for a subglandular implant but this would take an exam to make sure. Have several consultations with board certified (ABPS) plastic surgeons in your area and choose the surgeon who you think will deliver the results you want.Good luck!
