DROOPY BREASTS, BUT PLENTY OF VOLUME
F or these patients, fat grafting can sometimes be used without implants to achieve additional volume that is completely natural and permanent. It has limitations, is not right for everyone, and can only increase the bra size one half to one bra size. This is perfect for some patients. We sometimes will use small implants with fat grafting to provide a natural result, but with more projection and volume. SMALL BREASTS, BUT DOESN’T WANT IMPLANTS
SMALL BREASTS
A breast lift alone is performed without an implant. Often these patients undergo an auto-augmentation, a newer technique that uses the patient's tissue to create a small, implant-like portion of the breast that is moved to the top, cleavage portion of the breast. This creates an augmentation look without the use of an actual implant. Fat grafting is occasionally used to provide additional volume and natural shape.
T his most often involves the placement of a silicone or saline breast implant. The new Ideal Implant is saline, but baffled and partitioned to provide a more natural feel. Silicone implants are the most common implants placed, usually behind the pectoralis muscle (but sometimes in front of the muscle). We mostly use smooth implants and recovery is quick — back to work in 3 days and full activity in 4 weeks.
