I am really wanting to have perky breasts again, but I’m scared my body will reject implants. After giving birth my breasts got really large but once I stopped breastfeeding they pretty much deflated. I think I have pseudoptosis but I’m not positive. I would like to know if it’d be reasonable for me to get a lift with no implants? Or would I need those too. I don’t necessarily want to be bigger at all, I just want the sagging to go away.
Answer: Breast Lift with Implants Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, I believe you would achieve the best overall aesthetic by using implants. While a lift will place the nipple at a more favorable position, you will be lacking volume to the upper poles of the breast. Placing implants will create a more youthful, fuller appearing breast. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Breasts You do not have psuedoptosis, but full ptosis, and need a lift. If you want more volume, add implants.

Answer: Breast lift Dear Exquisite970323 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 surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Can I have breast lift without implants? Yes! Breast lift a great option for creating a perkier shape after the pregnancy and breast feeding have left a deflated or droopy shape. Implants are only required if you want to increase size. Breast lift alone can create a perkier look, decrease areola size, and improve nipple position for an excellent aesthetic.

Answer: Would a breast lift be sufficient for my desired results or should I consider implants? Hello @Exquisite970323, thank you for your question and showing your pictures. You may consider having a breast lift with an L-shaped scar. By doing this, you would improve the projection and the shape of the tissue, which will remain a similar size, but without the flaccidity that you are having now. If you would like more information and options, I would recommend consulting one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
