5'9" - 180 pounds - 46 years - 2 pregnancies I want perky boobs (with upper fullness) with horizontal nipples... Surgeons advised that I must get a reduction to have a lasting result as my boobs would otherwise be too heavy and bottom out - so become hangy again... true? What would the best technique be? How to prevent disappointment with procedure? Can a result be simulated like for breast augmentation? And I inject 50mg Golimumab monthly to treat my AS - reason for concern?

Answer: Breast Lift vs. Breast Reduction? Hello, Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for breast reduction surgery. During breast reduction surgery, excess breast tissue is removed, the breast is lifted and nipple/areola is typically made smaller. It is easiest to think of breast reduction as including the breast lift. The goal of breast reduction surgery it to make the breasts smaller and lifted, but also proportionate with the rest of your body. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast reduction and augmentation I think you will need a two stage procedure if you want to reach all your goals. First you need a breast reduction to rid yourself of the massive excess skin and elevate and reshape your breasts. This should give you a nice result, but might not be perky enough or have enough upper pole fullness. Adding a small implant at a second stage after full healing from stage one should fix those two issues. I do a lot of augmentation lifts as one procedure, but your situation I feel would get a much better and safer result with two stages. Good luck.
