I will be undergoing a breast lift in a month. I will either pair it with a fat transfer or implants. I don't really want larger breasts; just want them a bit filled in where they lost volume. I would love the "lift" to last as long as possible. Do breasts with implants "stay up" for more years? Does the extra weight of the implants cause the breasts to droop more over time? Can I get away with less supportive bras with implants?
Answer: Implants versus fat transfer Breast implants are a safe and predictable way to enhance the breasts. Silicone implants come in many sizes and styles to create a unique look that's right for you. Fat transfer has the potential to create micro calcifications. These can be confusing on mammograms and therefore are not my choice for elective breast enhancement.

Answer: Should I pair my breast lift with a fat transfer or implants? This question is best answered by your chosen Plastic Surgeon and discussed at the consultation. Without posted photos- it's difficult to comment what you'd benefit from .Generally speaking, if the patient is a candidate and desired increase in volume- lift can be combined with smaller implants.

Answer: Should I pair my breast lift with a fat transfer or implants? Hello @Celebrated395456, thank you for your question. With implants, the approach technique and the prosthesis chosen lead to different results, so it is also important to determine what the patient expects and what the surgeon can do for them. If it is fat transfer it depends on how the fat is seeded. Everything depends on the expertise and technique of the specialist, . For more information and recommendations, consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS..

Answer: Breast lift and implants or fat transfer Hello, Thank you for your question. You have several options at hand. Fat transfer may be a better option if you want a bit a slight bit of fullness on top with the breast lift. Keep in mind that a fat transfer only will increase your breast size by half a cup. If you want anything larger than that then consider putting in a small implant. Regarding drooping over time and/or wearing supportive bra. No matter what you decide to do over time breasts will still drop, perhaps a bit faster with bigger heavy implants and its always a good idea to wear a supportive bra. Gravity always wins

Answer: Lift Fat transfers are usually done not at the same time as the lift. If you choose small implants, the results of the lift will hold longer. Implants are more reliable than fat, especially if there is any weight change.
