I have plans to find a board certified plastic surgeon in the Seattle area but I'm curious as to what solutions I would have to choose from. Essentially, my breasts are almost always the first things on my body with even minor weight changes. I have pretty loose, thin skin and very little upper pole fullness. I really like the look of round, high profile breasts. Would it be reasonable to hope for close to the same cup size but round and high? What would surgical results like that possibly entail?

Answer: Round and high breasts achievable? Thank you for the question. You may wish to post photographs with your next post for more specific thoughts. Given your well described concerns and goals, it is probable that augmentation as well as breast lifting will be necessary. During this operation, if some tissue is removed along with the breast augmentation surgery you will be more likely to achieve the desired outcome. In other words, you would be undergoing a reduction of breast tissue along with a addition of breast implants ("reduction augmentation"). Key will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon and careful communication of your goals. In my practice, this is best done with the help of goal photographs and computer imaging. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Lift with Implant Thank you for your question and goals. The indications for an augmentation-mastopexy (breast lift with an implant) is usually because you have volume deficiency and/or asymmetry of your breasts with accompanied ptosis (which is the sagging of the breast). From your description "same cup size but round and high", I think you would be a good candidate for this procedure because you want extra fullness up top. With a breast lift alone, you would have a better nipple and breast position but not the extra "round and high." I think you should see a plastic surgeon who can give more detailed information after she examines you and can answer all your concerns and make a plan with you to achieve your goals together. Good luck! Best wishes, Dr. Suzette Miranda
