I would like to add more volume to fill the extra skin on my chest. A lift at $10,000 is out of my budget, and I honestly hate the look of most lifts. I would like them to look full and swingy, not perky. But I don't want to waste money on implants if they would make my breasts look even worse or misshapen. I think the breast position is OK and I like the placement of my nipples. My budget is about $6,000. I have fairly thin skin with stretch marks from puberty. What would you recommend?
Answer: Implants without a lift Based on your photos, you are likely not going to be pleased by the results of getting implants alone without a lifting procedure. It will best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Lift I doubt you would like your shape or position of your breasts without a lift. With just implants, the weight will cause more sagging and more stretched out skin. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.

Answer: Breast Augmentation with Lift Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Based on your photos, it appears you need a lift. Breast implants alone may not give you the desired appearance you are looking for. You may end up with a "Snoopy dog" or waterfall deformity. This is where the breast tissue hangs from the bottom of the implant and the nipple points downward, which results in an unnatural look.It's best to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation and to discuss your options.All the best.

Answer: I would like an increase in breast volume without a lift to maintain swinginess, what would you suggest? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. You would need a lift and breast augmentation using implant alone is not sufficient. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Answer: I would like an increase in breast volume without a lift to maintain swinginess, what would you suggest? (Photos) Although only skin is typically removed in a breast lift procedure that is a few grams, the breasts will appear smaller. This is due to the fact that the same mass is wrapped in a smaller soft tissue envelope and increases the density. The less dense the breast and the more the surface area of skin that is removed, the larger the apparent reduction in size. Fat transfer or a small breast implant can be used to achieve upper pole fullness if necessary. The vertical or lollipop lift can be used for severe droopiness. This lift involves a vertical and a periareolar incision. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if this is the right lift for you to achieve your ultimate goals.
