Hi, I’m considering having breast implants. My breast are now empty after breastfeeding for a year. Would I need an uplift aswell? I would prefer to not have an uplift because of the scarring, also which method I.e. under the muscle or over, is less likely the cause problem. A little scared of having capsular contraction and double bubble. Thank you for your help

Answer: Breast lift or BA Dear misslisa226,determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. 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 a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Do I have Pseudoptosis? Would I need a lift? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately based on the limited views supplied, and not knowing what your goals are, it appears that you would most benefit from implant placement and a lift. The implant will help restore lost breast tissue after pregnancy and weight loss, while the lift will remove excess skin and allow for resizing and repositioning of your breast tissue and nipple into a higher, more youthful, position. Hope this helps
