Sounds reasonable but your plastic surgeon will be able to determine for certain. It doesn’t sound like you will need a lift based on your description & going with a larger implant.

Based on your height and weight, you likely would be able to get a larger implant. You want to discuss the implant size with your surgeon, as well as ask them if you would need an additional lift, or if you would be able to just exchange your implants.

I would need photos or see you or through SKYPE/FACETIME to evaluate. I discuss what can be done with its limitations and complications and then formulate a plan with my patients. Since you already have scars, it would not be that difficult to uplift as needed.

The larger the implants you get, the more drooping you will have and the more it will stretch out your breast tissue. My advice would be against going larger because you may have more problems and drooping overtime. See your local plastic surgeon and get a thorough consultation to decide what a more reasonable size is. Best of luck to you!

I doubt you would need another lift. If you increase your implant size from 100 to 150cc, that is about a cup size for most women. When you increase in size, keep the same diameter implant, just increase the profile - if you like the way you look from the front currently.

Best thing to do is communicate with your surgeon. Whether you need a revision of your breast lift or not will depend on the physical examination.
I ask my patients to bring in pictures of breast sizes that they like and even dislike. I review these photos with the patient and discuss if it is reasonable with their body type, size,etc.. I take these photos to the operating room with me and when the patients is on the operating room table, I use temporary sizers to view how different cc's look on the patient. I sit the patient up on the operating room several times and compare them with the photos that they have chosen. When I see that I have achieved the patient's goals, I remove the temporary sizers and put in the implants. There is no guess work. This procedure takes more time BUT gives more exact results.
Best wishes.

You really need an examination by a ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeon that specializes in revision breast surgery. Best of luck! Instagram: @drgeraldminniti

Thank you for your question.

It is not uncommon for patients to choose to go bigger or smaller on their implants sometime after their initial breast augmentation procedure. In fact, it is often the case that the patient is limited with what size implant can be placed at the time of an initial surgery by their pre-operative anatomy, and this can be even more true when having a breast lift at the same time. Over time, your skin, breast tissue and muscles stretch to accommodate the additional volume from the implant, and this will allow for a patient to eventually exchange their implants for larger ones down the line.

A physical exam is important to determine what size breast implant would be most reasonable for you based on your aesthetic goals, and to say whether or not another breast lift would be necessary. Please consider scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in cosmetic breast procedures to review your candidacy for a breast implant exchange and your cosmetic goals.

I hope you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best!
