Breast augmentation with mastoplexy or IMF reinforcement? (Photos)

Hello, I was looking at getting a breast augmentation because I had a breast reduction six years ago that I was very unsatisfied with. Since then I have lost only about 10 pounds but I’ve lost a lot of body fat and gained muscle so my breasts are very deflated I’m wondering which route I should go because they’re still in a good position , but I don’t want big implant. Maybe 200 cc. I’m very unhappy and it’s so hard to look at them in the mirror. I was quoted $14,000 and $21,000. Money is a little tight but I’m 33 years old and I’m finally happy with myself except for my breasts.

Based on your description, this sounds more like pseudoptosis and upper pole deflation than severe true ptosis. In patients like you, the biggest mistake is often choosing a large implant in an attempt to "lift" the breast. Larger implants may initially create fullness, but they can also widen...

For a tuberous breast deformity, the decision is not simply "over" versus "under" the muscle—the key is correcting the constricted breast shape. Based on your goals of increasing 1–2 cup sizes while maintaining a natural appearance, I would favor an over-the-muscle (subfascial) approach r...

Yes, many patients with a history of a provoked pulmonary embolism (PE) successfully undergo breast augmentation, but careful preoperative planning is essential. The fact that your PE was pregnancy-related, your thrombophilia workup was negative, and you subsequently completed another pregnancy...

It’s understandable that you’re feeling a bit conflicted, as the "over the muscle" (OTM) versus "under the muscle" debate is one of the most important decisions in breast augmentation, especially when trying to avoid a "double bubble." Your surgeon’s suggestion of an OTM teardrop implant is li...
