I only wanted a breast lift and consulted 5 board certified plastic surgeons. all recommended implants with lift. i regret the implants. were they wrong?

Your call : You saw not one not two , five plastic surgeons all of them recommended the same , it is a cosmetic surgery done for an appearance not for a disease , you decide what you want with your body , must be a reason all to recommend same , your body is not suitable to use your own body parts , implants are safe, go back to best one you choose & discuss options.

Breast lift only: If you have adequate native tissues and do not require bulging upper poles, a breast lift alone is adequate. If you wanted fake looks or more fullness and volume, implants are needed. What do you really want? And are you clearly communicating this to your surgeons? The rubin mastopexy can do a great result with your own tissues but is a radical procedure.

Choose wisely: Getting an opinion from 5 different board certified plastic surgeons implies that you haven't decided what to do. The person that you consult with will give you the best option and in this case it seems that besides having breast ptosis, you also have relatively small breasts in relation to your chest frame. Part of making an informed decision is understanding your choices and then choosing one.

Complicated.: Only you will know whether the decision to have had breast augmentation done was “wrong” for you. If you are displeased with the outcome of the procedure ( the use of breast implants), then it likely should not have been performed for you. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon in a calm and constructive fashion. Best wishes.
