I’ve had a consultation and was told I’m bordering to needing a breast lift alone with implants, however he’d be happy to go with out the lift using 375cc over muscle high profile implants. Would you recommend going for the lift since being told I’m borderline to it I’m getting worried about the outcome.
Answer: Bellesoma Lift instead of implants Your breasts are low on the chest wall and if you undergo augmentation alone it is often required to lower the inframammary fold. This often results in double bubble or bottoming out. I recommend a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Borderline needing lift and would like a second opinion, what do you think? Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from a breast lift with implants. A breast augmentation and a breast lift work hand and hand to enhance the overall shape and size of a woman’s breasts. These procedures are ideal for increasing the size of the breasts while restoring balance and youthfulness to a woman’s bust. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Answer: Borderline needing lift and would like a second opinion, what do you think? Thank you for your question! It appears your nipples are located above your inframammary fold. With your breast shape, you could be a candidate for placement of the breast implants over the muscle rather than under without the need for a breast lift. It would help to decrease the potential of a "double bubble" appearance. A double bubble is when you can visualize the natural breast tissue contour and a shadow of the breast implant. If you did, in fact, develop the double bubble due to not lifting the breast, you could fix the post operative results a breast lift. At least this way, if the breasts look good without the added scars of a lift, you come out ahead. I would spend some time visiting with a few plastic surgeons in your neighborhood to get various opinions. I hope this helps!

Answer: A Breast Augmentation Without the Lift Can Have GREAT results! It is very common for women to want breast lifting when they get a breast augmentation. At the end of the day, an implant just pushes out what you naturally already have there. I tell all my patients that there's a 100% chance of asymmetry after any breast surgery with or without a lift. Of course, the goal is to try to make you as equal as possible but everyone has asymmetries of the ribs, the muscles etc. It's very important to understand this as you, like all women, have some breast asymmetry that would be pointed out on examination and before any surgery. When women have excess breast skin, an implant can take up some of this excess skin. So, depending what implant size you're interested in being, there's a good chance that in your case a breast augmentation will have good results without any additional breast lift scarring. As a final thought, if you pick the infraareolar scar as your choice for breast implants, usually we can do a mini breast lift at the same time and I usually don't charge people for this. Of course a full areolar breast lift or short scar breast lift is different and does involve more scars and more costs. Aging and even pregnancy are definitely hard on the breast areas and this is a comment complaint among women visiting my office. For some women that aren't quite sure, it is okay to do just the breast implant and if they desire more lifting afterwards, you can usually do that in the office as a separate procedure under local anesthesia and leave the implant alone and just remove some of the excess breast skin.I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of breast implants. Good luck with your future surgery!I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Augmentation without a Breast Lift I expect you will have good results without a lift. Based on your photos and suggested implant size, I think a lift is unnecessary.
