I'm a 48 year old mother of 2. I’m 5’4” and 135lbs. I had my saline implant surgery in 2005 (via armpit/ under the muscle). My kids were born in 2014 and 2018. I breastfed for a total of almost 8 years. I would like to update my implants with silicone ones now. Can i just get a larger implant to make them look more full? Or will I need to get a lift? I would prefer not to get a lift because of the obvious complications/scars etc. I would like my cleavage area to be smaller, if possible.
Answer: Breasts Naturally, your breast sit low on your chest and the bases of your breasts cannot be changed. However, I would suggest changing the placement to behind the muscle to avoid seeing the edge and doing a lift. Your cleavage can probably not be changed much because the bases cannot be moved. Fat transfers could be added to help soften the area.

Answer: Mastopexy is adviced but not necessary To achieve an optimal breast shape, it is recommended to consider changing the implant while also undergoing a mastopexy (breast lift), though it's worth noting that this procedure may result in visible scars. If you opt to only change to a larger implant without a breast lift, the shape of the breasts may improve and the upper pole may appear less sunken, but the breasts may still appear to sag.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation with lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated 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 if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Considering options An in person evaluation is always best, but it appears you would do fine with just an implant exchange of silicone implants placed under the muscle. A conservative lift may be indicated depending on your goals and implant selection.

Answer: Implant exchange, fat grafts? I do not think that you need lift; implant replacement would be a good option, possibly some fat grafts over upper pole and medialy to cover/improve soft tissue deficit. In person consultation is needed to exclude possiblity of breast implant contracture. Good luck.
