Re:Breast lift vs Augmentation - Monday, October 08, 2012 9:58 PM
Hello, I am 24 years old and I recently lost quite a bit of weight... the weightloss resulted in my breasts going for a Fcup to a DD... now they are empty looking and saggy, which I hate being so young. I would like fuller perkier breasts, but I hate the scaring that comes with breast lifts. Aswell I have seen some pictures of lifts and they still have an empty appearance on top. Would that mean I just need implants? Would that also make my breasts higher? The only problem I have with that is I don't really want bigger boobs, I still fill out a DD bra, its just the fullness is all at the bottom. stem cells

Hi Diane.  Thank you for your question.  Loss of fullness in the breasts is common after a person has lost a lot of weight.  From your description, it seems like you would benefit from undergoing a mastopexy (breast lift).  A breast lift is fundamentally different from breast augmentation because it is intended to enhance the shape of the breast and not the size.   A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples to improve its appearance.  I would definitely suggest you seek the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in performing breast lifts and breast augmentations.  Before choosing your surgeon, I also recommend you look at his/her before- and after-photos of the type of procedure you want to undergo.  That way you will have a better idea of the results you may be able to expect.

I hope this information helps.  Let us know what you decide to do.  If you undergo a breast lift, we would love to hear about your experience.
