Breast Lift with Implants
rruth11February 27, 2021
I have been thinking about a lift and implants for the past two plus years. I'm 36, 5'8, 125 lbs with two children, after breastfeeding them both I feel very deflated and saggy. Before kids, I was 36DD maybe bigger and now I'm not even a full C cup. I actually quite enjoy having smaller breasts, so I don't want to go that much bigger than I currently am. I just want to be full and perkier.I have had a consultation with Dr. Hamilton in December to decide whether or not a breast lift this is the right step for me. I absolutely loved him as a professional. He told me if I wanted larger implants he wouldn't do it and would just refer me on. He would only give me what would be appropriate for my frame. He said anywhere between 295-310 under the muscle. I haven't tried on sizers, but I think I would even want to go a little smaller just so it's as natural as it can look. I don't want really anyone other than my husband and some family to know. He said to me that either I should do a lift and implant or neither. He said just a lift or just implants wouldn't give me my desired results. He said he would have to lower one of my breast creases to fix symmetry. And this may result in a slight double bubble, but it wouldn't be that noticeable. That kind of freaks me out. Anyways, the doctors office just called and left a message for me to call back and book my date! For some reason, I'm even more nervous and second guessing whether or not I should continue?! Did anyone else feel like this?

Having second thoughts..

I am scheduled for October 21st. We decided at my last consultation (in Aug) for 295 cc mod profile with a full anchor lift, but my surgeon said that would take me to a D cup. I was previously a D-DD and then bigger during breastfeeding and now a deflated C. I really enjoy having smaller breasts, I just want them perkier and a full C. I’m really worried about being bigger again and definitely do not want to be a D.
After another call to the surgeon he doesn’t want to go much smaller, he said we could go to 275, but any smaller won’t fill me out properly. Should I call back and discuss low profile instead of moderate? I’m just so worried about having huge breasts again and completely regretting it :( Not too mention, I would love this to be discrete. Thoughts?!?
Oh! And he doesn’t do sizers at the office, but I had made a few of my own rice sizers in the sizes he suggested. They really did feel huge..

If hes doing an anchor lift he can give u smaller implants say 200cc and lift accordingly. I would do some more research and find a dr who can give you the results you want.

The 275 is perfect! I would not want to be carrying around DD as you get older your back will hurt.

You used to be a D-DD, but you aren't anymore right now. When they do a lift, especially an anchor lift, they remove a lot of tissue. I really don't think 275cc is going to be too big.
If you are unsure about the size afterwards, you could always do just a lift and see how you like it. If you feel it's too small, then you can go ahead and do an augmentation! It's safer that way and you're less likely to experience complications.

Low profile will make them wider instead of more projected. I have moderate profile and it took some getting used to because my arms bump into the sides of my boobs. I agree with the other comments. He will be removing tissue if you do a lift so keep that in mind. You could go get a second opinion. The best thing I did was get a second opinion. I felt pressured to go bigger with the first doctor. Ended up using the second doctor. Now I wish I were bigger.

Keep in mind your BWD (distance from sternum to armpit). Each type of implant and size has a different base width to it. He is recommending sizing based on this. A smaller implant may be too narrow for your frame. Dont be scared of the cc volume being a huge number; a mod plus implant is a happy medium that covers the base well with some projection. The same volume in a HP implant will be narrow at the base with higher projection.
