Hi again Doctors , So I've posted a question about whether getting a boob job for my slightly-saggy [RS bleep] of size 28B. You complained that my picture wasn't clear, so I took another clearer one. Also, you've suggested me to do a breast lift but i heard that it's very expensive and it leaves scars on the [RS bleep] also it might make my nipples smaller. My breasts are not very saggy so what if i got big implements ? I live in Qatar but I'm not sure if there are any good surgeons here :\ Thank you , R

Answer: Breast lift with implants The general rule of thumb is that if the nipples sit below the inframammary fold (the crease under the breast), then a lift is recommended. However, there are several other anatomic factors of the breast as well as the patient's desires and expectations that further determine whether a lift is performed or not with or without an implant. Because a breast lift tightens up the breast envelope and breast implants expand the breast envelop, you are more limited by this fact than any other when trying to go with a large implant. One way around this issue is to have the procedures done separately, for example have the lift done first then 6+ months later undergo the breast augmentation with implants. In general it is always best to fit the implant with the patients breast anatomic dimensions thus minimizing immediate as well as long term complications. Once you are ready, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that can then perform an in person physical exam and help you best decide on a final surgical plan.
