Hello. I am 58 and have breast fed all my children as well as had significant weight loss so all things considered my skin is stretched and thin. I want to have augmentation (possible lift) and go with a large implant (450cc) with high profile. I keep seeing that due to my skin condition and the extra weight of a large implant this may not be advised due to bottoming out or early sagging. I would like to know if I were to get either mesh or an internal bra would that allow me to go with the size implants I am hoping for? I am 5'1" and 135 pounds.

Dear lorntor,
yes, there is a high risk of rupture of 33-year old implants and they should be replaced. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
