47 y/o. 5'9. 130 pounds. Lost fullness in breasts. Would like to regain fullness. Prefer natural look..Current size 34B/C would like to be full D.I do not want scars. One Dr visit suggested I could have an augmentation with 330cc now with a lift in few years. Research has me perhaps in that "gray" area. I believe that a dual plane technique (do not want "double bubble")with perhaps silicone moderate profile ( prefer saline) but feel of breast is trumping that decision. Opinions?

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You are a good candidate for a breast augmentation with a dual plane technique of implant placement. I don't think you need a lift, but only a full examination in-person could accurately determine this. The size of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. 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. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Augmentation to replace lost fullness You are on the right path to a good result, but I would not predict you will need a lift in a few years. Be sure to get a second opinion to get reassurance you are seeking.
