Hanging J cups, should I get a breast lift?

Based on your description it sound like you will benefit from a breast lift with no implant, an in person consultation would be best for a detailed exam and evaluation.always see a board certified PS.

Hi TheGirl174,

Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often use an implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift.

Breast lift surgery aims to re-volumize the breast with either and natural implant or fat grafting followed by nipple repositioning using the lift. I prefer to use a vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern for more significant lifts. This reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. Mastopexy that requires less than 2cm of lift only needs a donut incision. Every incision is also closed in five precise layers without using reactive sutures that can cause inflammation and eventual scarring.

If you are considering a breast lift, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be a good candidate for a breast reduction surgery if you would like the breast size to be decreased.  Breast reduction surgery not only reduces breast volume, but also provides a breast lift.  You would benefit from a consultation with a plastic surgeon for full examination and discussion of your overall goals in order to determine the best option for you.  

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on the exposed case the ideal thing is that you have a consultation in person with a certified plastic surgeon that evaluates you and gives you the best recommendation on the process that is most effective in your case.but I read it in the description in your case breast lift and breast reduction without implant.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your description, you may be a candidate for a breast lift/reduction.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   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.

Hi 
Thank you for your question. It would be helpful if you could upload some pictures of your breasts. But as you describe your current situation a breast reduction and lift would most likely be the right procedure for you. 
I recommend you to consult with a certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. 
Kind regards

Hi and thank you so much for your question! I would suggest an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, but if you would like your breasts smaller, it would be possible to do a reduction and a lift, or if you like the size of your breasts a lift would place your breasts higher on your chest. Either of these sound like they would be a good option for you and best of luck to you!

Hi and thank you for your question!  It sounds like you would benefit a lot from a breast reduction.  This would reduce the size of your breasts to make them not as heavy and give you a lift at the same time.  There are many different ways to perform a breast reduction and the amount of breast removed is variable but all the techniques incorporate a lift as well.  Good luck!

Hi and thanks for the question. The problem is that the skin makes a poor brassiere. The additional fact that the amount of projection is proportionately greater than your shoulders can support on your tall frame and will eventually contribute to back pain and neck spasm. The appropriate procedure would be a breast reduction which incorporates a breast lift with a reduction. In someone your age it may be reasonable to wait until your breasts have finished growing at say 23 or 24 years of age. See your board certified plastic surgeon anytime now for consultation regarding the technique to be used. it should be covered under insurance plans in most States and Provinces.
