I am a 34D cup and would like a breast lift and implants, but I don't want my breasts that much bigger at all. I don't want to just get a lift because I do like the look of implants. Is it possible to stay close to the same size after putting the implant in?
Answer: Breast lift with implants Hello and thank you for your question. Many patients ask me this same question. A small implant with the lift can help give the upper pole fullness you are looking for without dramatically increasing the size of your breasts. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Lift I would recommend a lift alone since adding implants will definitely increase your breast size. Also a lift with implants can lead to more complications with healing and scarring. To better answer this however you should post photos.

Answer: Breast lift alone may deliver your desired look Hi there. When a lift is done effectively, it can give a very perky and aesthetic look, which may be similar to an augmented appearance. If you are not looking for an increase in breast volume, a lift is therefore probably the right answer for you. I would arrange a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon with expertise in breast lifts for a full discussion about your options. Good luck!

Answer: Breast lift with implants and maintaining current breast size Dear MHaigh,It is certainly possible to retain the same overall breast size that you currently have with a breast lift and breast augmentation. In general, the breast size decreases by about 10% when a lift is performed simply due to the removal of skin and the tightening effect. This would accommodate a small implant for you. If your breast appearance and body characteristics call for a larger implant, then some breast tissue can be removed with the lift to accommodate it. Good luck!
