Breast lift w/o augmentation?

Q: I’m a 32C. I wanted to get an idea of what options are available to me w/regards to a lift with or w/o implants & if I can get just get a lift, what type of incision. Considering I am of African american descent, I am concerned w/hyperpigmentation of the vertical scar. I want perkier breast w/a little more fullness. I am happy w/the size of my current breast. Also, I have not had children yet but plan to within the next few yrs. My breast have sagged as a result of drastic weight loss. Thanks!

A: Congratulations on your weight loss! There are a lot of issues here to address. Let’s start with scarring. It is tough to predict how you will heal. Certainly hyperpigmentation, scar hypertrophy and keloiding are more common in African Americans than in Caucasians, but there is no way to tell for sure if none, some or all of those conditions would affect you after surgery. I frequently perform cosmetic surgery on African Americans and I often use prescription silicone-based scar lightening agents after surgery. I also keep my incisions as small as possible and try to place them in less noticeable spots.

You mention that you are happy with your breast size, but would like more fullness and perkier breasts. A breast lift would address the perkiness, but not the fullness. In order to take care of both, you could consider having a breast lift along with a small implant or fat grafting to your breasts.

Thank you for sharing your intent to start a family in the next few years. While that certainly doesn’t rule you out as a candidate for breast surgery, you should keep two things in mind: first, breast surgery could possibly affect your ability to breastfeed your babies – especially since you are likely a candidate for a crescent, or periareolar, lift. Any time we make an incision around the areola, we risk injuring the milk ducts. Secondly, pregnancy may lead to sagging similar to what you see now. Many women find that their breast size increases during pregnancy (sometimes dramatically), only to decrease again after birth or after you finish nursing. This can lead to sagging. If you have a breast lift before pregnancy, you may find you need another one when your family is complete.

Am I a candidate for breast augmentation & BBL? 27 years old, Toronto, Canada. No children. 5’1. 129lbs. 32D-29.5-37.5

Am I a candidate for breast augmentation & BBL? 27 years old, Toronto, Canada. No children. 5’1. 129lbs. 32D-29.5-37.5

Q: Not sure if I am a candidate for BBL or not. Wondering about potential wait times between the two, as recovery for both are counter-intuitive. For BA, am interested in augmenting mainly for shape and not size. Considering BBL mostly for silhouette reasons – concerned about looking ā€œtop heavyā€ after BA. Looking for smaller waist/rounded hips, more volume and projection on buttocks, less ā€œsquareā€ look. Also curious about how either procedure could be affected by future pregnancies? thanks!

A: I actually combine breast augmentation and the Brazilian Butt Lift quite often in my practice. Recovery IS tricky since you will have to lie on your side. It is totally acceptable to separate them if that works best for you. I think you could have a great result with a Brazilian butt lift. It is my favorite procedure to reshape the midsection of the body. You are a good size and could have a flatter tummy, reduce your love handles and achieve a shaplier backside! If you are not looking to increase the size of your breasts dramatically, you might consider fat transfer to the breasts as well. Fat grafting to the butt is not affected by pregnancy, but it is affected by weight fluctuations. As you gain and lose body fat, the transferred fat will grow and shrink. Your breast size and breast shape could certainly be affected by pregnancy and truthfully, it is impossible to predict what that effect will be. Some women opt to delay breast procedures until after their families are complete for just that reason.

My Father Has Lost a Lot of Weight is It Possible for my to Give Him my Excess Fat?

Q: My father has lost a lot of weight. Is it possible for me to give him my excess fat?

A: Unfortunately, you can’t give your fat to anyone else. Fat is a living tissue and transferring it between two individuals would likely lead to rejection. There is also a risk of infection. You can, however, use your fat in other areas of your body. I frequently transfer fat to the buttocks and breasts in my surgery center just outside Atlanta.

Is It Ok to Do a BBL if I Previously Have Had Minimal Lipo on Stomach?

Is It Ok to Do a BBL if I Previously Have Had Minimal Lipo on Stomach?

Q: I’m 5’6 155lbs I hope that I am a good candidate for a bbl. I have had some lipo done when I got a BA and it was very minimal and the results weren’t anything great I have gained about 10 lbs since then and I have a lil bit of cottage cheese looking to my stomach. It was much smoother after i got the lipo but i recently gained that weight. Will this smooth out over time if I continue to get a BBL? Please help Doctors!

A: Yes, you can still have a BBL even if you have had liposuction in the past. In fact, many of my Brazilian Butt Lift patients have had previous liposuction. BUT, it is unlikely that further liposuction on your abdomen will smooth it out, in fact, it could make the lumpiness more apparent. Liposuction can lead to formation of fibrous tissue – almost like a scar underneath the skin. This can lead to an uneven appearance. More liposuction in the same area might cause more fibrous tissue to form.

Do I Have Enough Fat to Accomplish my Desired Results with the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)? (photo)

: Hello! my dream is to get a BBL and I wonder if I have enough fat to achieve the results of my wish pics below. I don’t know how many cc I would need but I know I want a booty with projectile with smooth hourglass hips, again, like in the wish pics. I am 5′ 8ā€ and 137.5 lbs. Should i try to gain weight? Will the fat i gain be stable and last after the BBL? Hope you can help me. Thanks!!

A: I think you could have a great result from a Brazilian Butt Lift based on your photos. However, I do not think your wish pics are achievable given your size. While you do have fat to harvest on your torso, you currently do not have a lot of projection of your butt. I think you could have a great figure with fat grafting to the butt and hips, but you wouldn’t look like the pictures you provided.
