I lost a fair amount of weight and I’m curious if a surgeon would be willing to add implants without a breast lift to add fullness back to my breasts. I don’t care if they sag, but I do want them to look natural and full again. I’m entirely opposed to a lift, I don’t want any obvious scarring on my breasts. Would it be possible for someone who has breasts like mine to get an augmentation without a lift?
Answer: Breasts No, dear lady, you need a lift. With just implants you will have larger and still sagging breasts which will look worse. You will not achieve upper breast fullness without moving the girls up.

Answer: Breast augmentation Thanks for your question! While I suppose it is possible, you are very droopy and adding an implant will just enhance your existing shape, droop and concerns. I would suggest getting a couple of in-person consultations with surgeons that perform these regularly for best advice. Good luck!

Answer: Implants not enough Unfortunately, weight loss can adversely affect the breasts. Loss of upper fullness and sagging/pots is are common. Implants alone will restore upper fullness but will not lift your breasts enough. They will look fuller in a bra/ bathing suit but will sag and appear unnatural. Best results would be implants with a lift. An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to further discuss your best options and expectations.

Answer: Adding fullness to the breasts after weight loss Thank you for your inquiry. Based on your photos, in addition to having less upper breast fullness, the nipples are lower on the breasts. Implants will enlarge the breasts but will not lift them higher on your chest or reposition your nipples. Some of my patients will choose to have a combined lift plus implants to get a perkier shape, but others don't want the extra scars, risks and costs associated with breast lift surgery. It is very important to have a thorough assessment and discussion with your plastic surgeon, to ensure you understand the outcomes of each option. Another thing to mention, if you choose to have implants and are not happy with the result, breast lift surgery can still be done at a later date.

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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
