They looked great for about 5 yrs then gravity said hello again. Lol. Now, I am considering an augmentation, but I am not sure I want to go through the lift. Will I require a lift? I know I am pretty flat, with thin skin, and overall dont look good, but I dont intend to go around naked. I'd like to be a nicely shaped DD but dont want to risk the "double bubble" or sagging implants. Photos included.

Answer: Lift vs breast augmentation Hi! I do not recommend doing a secondary lift as that can compromise blood supply due to scarring and also there runs the risk of tissue necrosis. Doing a fat transfer to the breast will help re-inflate the breast and cause a natural lift to the breast. A silicone implant will not help lift the breast, the implant would be sitting in the upper pole of the breast and give more fullness there with your natural breast tissue lying over it, not causing any lift because the implant is under the muscle. I think the best option for you would be a fat transfer. Hope this helps!

Answer: Surgery after previous Breast Reduction 15 years ago Very interesting question and a more reoccurring story. Patient has a breast reduction and then goes through the life's processes - pregnancy, weight gain, weight loss, gravity. You have different breast shape and size then you started off with. You need to see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in these patients. He will help you decide what your end goal is - size and shape - and then decide the best way to get there. I depends on the quality of your skin and tissue. Autoaugmentation, Implants, A lift with implants etc all are options.
