Where should my breast be in relation to my arms. Had Lift 1 month ago, don't sag as much as they did, but told PS I wanted to be able not to wear if needed to, wanted breast firmer, and higher. Bra size was DD, now D. Still need a bra, many natural breast out there still a lot higher than mine. I think they look a lot better, but still not high enough at all. What should I tell Dr. at 6 week check up. Could he have done more or what he limited with what I had.
Answer: Breast lift result It looks like you have a pretty nice result. Because you are still in the early stages of healing your breasts will evolve quite a bit in the next six months. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon at 6 weeks and then reassess your final result at 6 months.

Answer: Should my breast still be ths low after breast lift? Hello! Thank you for your question! The mastopexy (breast lift) procedure raises the breast, which ultimately provides a more youthful and perky breasts. This is done by removing the extra loose skin and rearranging the surrounding breast tissue in order to reshape and support the newly formed breast. At the same time, the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) is raised to the ideal position above the fold beneath your breast (the inframammary fold) as well as being placed at the most projecting portion. Oftentimes with age or following pregnancy, the NAC becomes widened and enlarged. This may be reduced in size during the breast lift procedure. Your NAC appears at a good position (above the crease of your breast) or at the mid-portion of your upper arm). It is common for the breast to lose its firmness and uplifted appearance over time, which is also accentuated with age, pregnancy/breast feeding, weight gain/loss, and gravity. This results in breast ptosis, or sagging of the breast, with a “deflated” appearance. Women seek the mastopexy procedure to regain the previous youthful appearance of her breasts and women report increased confidence, self-esteem, and femininity once achieving this desired shape and fullness. Breast lifts may or may not be performed with implants – the implant would add increased size but also greater fullness in the upper pole of the breasts which creates more cleavage.I would discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Revisions certainly may be considered - allow your surgeon to examine and evaluate you and then go over which procedure(s), if any, will be the right one for you. Best wishes for a terrific result!

Answer: What To Expect Following Breast Lift Surgery Your pictures demonstrate a good result following breast lift surgery. It’s still early in the post operative course and wound healing is a dynamic process. For this reason, changes in breast shape can be anticipated over the course of time. It’s not unusual for patients to have anxiety about their results in the immediate post operative period. Concerns about size, shape and firmness are not uncommon. In your case, the shape and position of your breasts are excellent. Since the inframammary fold position can’t be changed, efforts to raise the position of the nipple areola complexes even higher then they are currently positioned will result in a deformity known as a sunrise nipple. In addition, the firmness of your breasts can’t be changed without utilizing a breast implant. This would obviously make your breasts larger as well. It’s important to remember that your breasts are undergoing significant changes in the post operative period and this is a frequent source of anxiety. For this reason, it’s important to have good communication with your surgeon.

Answer: Breasts still low after traditional breast lift
Thank you for your question and photo.
Unfortunately, we've all been taught the same techniques for decades. For the past 10 yrs, the Ultimate Breast Lift technique has significantly improved the overall shape, perkiness, and longevity of the breast lift. The UBL does not require a vertical scar nor an implant to provide upper pole fullness and increased projection. The scars are well hidden around the areola and the natural crease of the breast. It uses an internal bra made from your own tissue to permanently anchor your newly designed breast to your pectoral muscles. This 'anhoring' ensures that the weight of your breast does not rest entirely on your skin. As we all know, skin is simply not enough to hold breasts in place. Skin will always stretch and give, especiallly with the added weight of implants and a weakened skin envelope due to a vertical scar. The old techniques do not make sense anymore. I realize you had your procedure performed some time ago, but women need to know there is a better alternative and new technology available to them.
Adding a larger implant will not work. The added weight will only make your problem worse.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Answer: Breast lift reshapes the breast but does not change anatomic relationships.
Many women want their breasts "higher" and expect a breast lift to accomplish this. A breast lift translocates the areola and reshapes the breast. It does not, however, lift the breast from the chest and drop in on a different area. If the breast starts well below the clavicle, that's where it will start after a mastopexy.
