Have any surgeons seen complications with a 345cc gummy with lift, full profile?

MM408Jun 9, 2025
Hi, I'm going to be getting an augment with mastopexy and have gotten a couple of different views during consultations. I have a narrow chest (12cm). I've heard from one surgeon the absolute largest implant I can get when combining with lift is 300cc's because I may need a revision within one year, and it's a higher risk of complications. Another surgeon says 345cc's is fine combining the two procedures. Have any surgeons seen complications with a 345cc gummy with lift, full profile? Also, next question is it safe to combine dual-plane placement same time as lift, and would that cause inadequate blood flow, wound healing complications? Thank you!

N cases of large and sagging breasts, it’s possible to achieve a lifted and well-shaped result by reducing and reshaping the existing breast tissue. If, instead of working with your natural tissue, an implant is added to create fullness in the upper pole, this only adds unnecessary weight &...

The best recommendation would really depend on your goals for surgery. A lift will restore your breasts so they are perkier and more youthful. If you remove the 500cc implants the breasts will be significantly smaller. If you are happy with the current size but just want them rejuvenated then...
