I want to get a breast lift with implants, I currently have saline implants that are more than 10 years old, and after two pregnancies I want to go smaller and higher and reduce the size of my areola as well. I am not concerned about scarring and care more about the profile and final placement. I am a tall woman but I am all legs with a shorter torso. I measure 8 inches from my armpits to my fold. on my right side. My left side is a little droopier.

Answer: Breast lift Dear miamimommy,my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Breast Revision Surgery Based on the posted photos- you appear to be a good candidate for Bilateral Implant removal, Mastopexy (Lift) and Re-Aug with smaller implants. In the right hands, I predict you can expect a very pleasing result. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam
