I am a 38yr old mother of 4, with a breast size of 32b. Having breastfed my kids, my breasts are now lacking volume, have some droop and unevenness. I am not keen on a lift because of the scars, can I get away with just augmentation? I realize that even with implants, the unevenness may be more obvious. Any advice?
Answer: Can I get away with just a breast enlargement rather than an uplift too? 38yr old mother of 4, with a breast size of 32b Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos your breast is asymmetrical, you may benefit from a breast augmentation with lift. 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.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

Answer: You'd probably be happier with a lift... Thanks for your question. It is one that many patients ask when they come in because no one is a big fan of scars that go along with a breast lift. Some patients with a very minor amount of droop will have that corrected with a breast augmentation. Although this might be the case for your right breast, I don't think it is for the left side. Based on your photo, you have enough of a breast asymmetry--with more skin on the left side--that I doubt you would be happy with the aesthetic result without a lift on that side. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast Asymmetry and Breast Implants You could do implants alone, however the left side will continue to be lower, fuller and more out to the side compared to your smaller, higher right breast. If you want better symmetry, you could consider implants plus a donut nipple lift on the left areola with the goals of more closely matching up to your right breast. The goals here would be an improvement as there is no such thing as perfect symmetry.
