Yes: That is certainly possible - I have had several patients who've done that, if they couldn't decide on a new, smaller set of implants at the time of the lift.

Breast Lift : The short answer is yes. However, a consultation with a plastic surgeon can help you to determine what would be best for you and what kind of a result you could expect after surgery. If your goal is smaller and perkier breasts, a smaller implant, or removal of implant plus a lift could give you the results you are hoping for.

Yes : Depending on many factors such as your physical examination, size of current breast implants, position of your breasts on your chest wall, skin elasticity characteristics, and your personal goals, your plan may be a good one. Of course, you will need to accept the scars associated with breast lifting as the “trade-off” of the breast lift operation. Best wishes.

Review options w MD: The best lift for you will vary with the extent of your anatomic "deviation" for the perceived goal which essentially relate to breast tissue and a nipple-areolar-complex that are positioned above the breast crease ( see pencil test) . You must also be assessed for breast volume and skin redundancy. Taking all of these into consideration will help to determine the best options for you to review.

Yes: Possible for certain. The best plan for you, unknown. It is best to discuss your long term goals with a board certified plastic surgeon. There are many options, and you need to understand what each option entails. Since different doctors will offer different options, it may be worth getting several opinions. There is no substitute for an in person consultation.
