I'm going to get a breast augmentation done but just wondering if I need a lift also? They are uneven tuberous breasts. So was going to get a breast augmentation with a areola reduction? Need advice

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implant or breast lift or both Hello, thank you for your question. This is a common question. A breast implant will take what you have as existing breast tissue and make your breast size larger. Breast implants do not change the shape or size of your areola or lift your natural breast tissue. If indeed you would like to have the shape of your breast tissue change and areola smaller than a mastopexy would accomplish both of those concerns. I would suggest having a consultation with your plastic surgeon prior to making any decisions. Feel free to check out our website for more information about breast augmentations and mastopexies.

Answer: Donut Mastopexy / Augmentation Good afternoon, You are an excellent candidate for a donut mastopexy to reduce your areolas and tighten your skin and a submuscular augmentation. You may choose saline or silicone gel, depending on your preference, even though it sounds like you may lean towards saline. We would determine the exact size and profile when I measure your chest, we review photos together, and you have an opportunity to try on the implant sizers here in the office.
