Hello! Last year I went on a medication and gained 40 lbs in 2 months. Since, I have lost almost 30 lbs and counting. Since dropping the weight I noticed that my breasts now look totally different! They are really saggy and I feel very self-conscious about showing my cleavage. I plan on getting a breast lift after I have kids in the next few years, but I really want implants now. Is it possible to avoid a breast lift with high profile implants? What do you recommend?

Answer: Good question… In order to provide you with a precise treatment plan an examination in person would be required. That said, your rapid weight loss and subsequent weight gain has caused your breast skin to have stretched out resulting in the sagging or drooping. You do not necessarily need a high profile implant as much as the correct width and volume to achieve the desired look. Your implant position can be subglandular, subfascial, or dual plane, but the pluses and minuses of each option should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. I strongly recommend you prepare for your consultation with photos of “favorites” which will guide your plastic surgeon in selecting the proper implant for you. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Breast lift You definitely need a lift with implants. Implants alone will look terrible. I think waiting until you are done having children is a smart idea.
