I was told by a friend I should not get implants with my breast reduction/lift as I have shoulder problems and the implants would be too heavy for my shoulder. Is this true?

Answer: My Recommendation Dear Mickeyneedsnewbooobs, thank you for sharing your question first in order to evaluate we might need some photos or an in person consultation to evaluate your tissues and discuss about desired results, but talking in general terms yes implants might add some weight to your shoulder, anyway small implants may give you better appearance and do not impact that much on the weight . Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction Breast implants are not part of the body or incorporated and only held up by the skin envelope. The skin envelope puts pressure on the neck, shoulder and back. The larger the implants the heavier they will feel. If you are having a breast reduction, by definition, you have too much breast tissue and you will not need implants. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implants Without seeing photos I can’t tell if you would need implants at all. Small implants don’t have much of a risk of shoulder problems.
