I was wondering if I need a lift with breast augmentation? It is more then I wanted to spend. I was hoping just for an augmentation. Also, they want me to do over the muscle and another says I can do under. Please give me some insight.
Answer: Breast lift and augmentation Your nipples are located below your breast fold and since the implants are centred behind the nipples, they would sit low on your chest and not offer any fullness in the upper pole. For this reason, a lift would be recommended.

Answer: Breast lift and submuscular Thanks for your question! Without a doubt, you need a breast lift to get a good result. Implants, without a lift, would look droopy and mispositioned. It appears as though you are very thin in the upper chest, so I think subpectoral would give you the most natural look. Best of luck!

Answer: Do I need a lift? From the submitted photos your nipple is located below the level of the breast fold which generally indicates that a lift is recommended. You can elect to have either above or below muscle placement for the augmentation portion. Below muscle offers some benefits in that it carries a lower risk of capsular contracture and the muscle provides some implant coverage on the upper portion of the breast. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Bellesoma Method You are a poor candidate for breast augmentation. You have a large skin envelope, your breasts are widely separated and you have no cleavage. You would benefit from a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breast enhancement Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 30 years and breast surgery and revision breast surgery is a large portion of my practice. Unfortunately, when implants are placed on top of the muscle, the skin will just stretch without anything between the implant and the skin envelope. I have a whole gallery of problems associated with implants on top of the muscle. The good news is that you can have attractive breasts. You just need to have the implants placed under the muscle and a breast lift. Breast lifting is an art form that many plastic surgeons have not mastered. You should be able to have a beautiful result. Best wishes to you.
