I'm 46 looking to have surgery again . I have had 2 surgery the past one in 1999, and 1 in 2007!! The first surgery I put in saline implants filled to 425 cc the 2 nd surgery I put in saline implants 700 cc ,, I don't want a lift . But a few doctors I have talked to said I should get a lift with this surgery !! I want to replace my implants and considering silicon implants .. I'm used to being a 34DD so it's really hard for me to go smaller ,, I live in Maui Hawaii , only 2 doctors still do surgery on the island so im limited to doctors . Unless I go to Ohou ,, i have been researching a lot and still trying to decided what I want scares or no scares ?? I'm looking at the ultra high profile silicon implants & a lift !! But I've seen bad reviews on healing !! It scares me ,, I know what to expect from ba !! But don't know what to expect on the lift part !! Or do I need a lift ???? Please help me !! Any information will help ??

It is my opinion that you should not get a lift if you don't want one. Don't let a doctor talk you into something you are comfortable with. Tel then you can live with being saggy (if you can live with this, this is usually the trade off of no lift). If you do decide to do a lift go for the full lift- vertical or anchor! Don't do Benelli or crescent lift- you will RUIN your body with those types of lifts on your body! Sorry to be so passionate!! Good luck

I'm not a Dr but I can see by these photos that you would greatly benifit from a lift. A lift will definitely give you a fuller and "youthful" appearance. I would encourage a lift. Good luck, keep us posted, and God Bless

Agree. Consider going under the muscle too - the weight of that sized implant will thin your tissue and skin.

I would consider a lift if I was you and go lower on the implants, the higher the cc's , the more weight you putting into your skin.

So I went to Dr. Yu Maui Hawaii, on sept 20 .. Talked with him about do I need a lift ?? He said yes cause I went so big the 2 nd surgery I needed to lift them if I wanted a better result !! So after interviewing 3 other doctors !! I choose him !! We are gonna do a lift with implant replacement & go to 550 cc implant silicone under the muscle !! Iam now 700cc over the muscle with saline implants ,, we are also using ultra high profile implant !! I'm so excited !! Counting the months down ????

Hi, I think you definitely made the right decision going for a lift as well. From your photo you look like you would benefit from one. I myself have had a lift and ba last year and it's the best decision I've ever made I know 1 year down the line have perfect breasts. Be prepared for the scares to look bad after surgery but over time they will heal and fade. You can't even see mine now and I had no problem at all with healing afterwards. I had 400cc on top of muscle silicon moderate profile and lift and I am a 34E. Good luck
