I have somewhat saggy/deflated C cups. Doctors recommendation is a donut lift with whatever size silicone implant I choose. (I’m thinking 350cc). He is not one of the surgeons that use the internal bra but I’ve always liked the idea of having it added for the extra support. Will I be fine without it?

Answer: Internal bra for first time implants Thank you for your question and photo. With the current shape of the breasts, a lift is necessary to provide a good outcome. A lollipop lift or anchor lift may be necessary depending on how much excess skin you have and what size implant is chosen. Using an “internal bra” mesh on a first time augmentation is typically not necessary. This adds extra costs that are typically not necessary. The internal bra is great for implant related issues if the original surgery was not done well.

Answer: Bellesoma Lift instead of implants Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. A simple donut mastopexy will not provide an adequate lift. The technique I recommend is 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.
