I have had implants under the muscle for about 10 years, I am 41 and have lost a lot of volume in my natural breast tissue, nursing and weight loss. My surgeon wants to do a lift on me, I will lose breast size. I would like to increase my breast size and have a full rounded look. Is it possible to have implants put overtop of the muscle while leaving the original ones underneath? What are my options?

Answer: Breast implant question
You should run away fast from any doctor who suggests putting another implant on top of the muscle! You have implants that are now too high so they need to be revised. After your nursing and weight loss your breasts are now too low. Looks to me like a lift and augmentation revision is right for you. I usually replace 10 year old implants and often switch to a moderate plus profile design which have a more narrow base diameter and more projection then the implants you probably have and will fit your frame well. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for you consultation.

Answer: No Stacking
Stacking implants is not a wise idea even though it is possible. A breast lift and breast implant revision/exchange would be more sound. A thorough consultation with physical examination would be needed to confirm the proper surgical plan for you.
