I am scheduled for a BA on November 10th. I'm 37, breast fed two kids and very active and athletic. My PS is board certified and is doing a dual plane procedure, 400cc silicone, round, textured implants. He has said I don't need a lift and looking through my notes it says "atrophy of breasts" is this the same thing as breast ptosis? Is this why he feels I don't need a lift because it's atrophy and not ptosis? My fear is to go from smaller saggy breasts to bigger saggy breasts. Advice?
