Many woman want to know how to get fullness in the upper breast. Is a lift the answer? What about implants? Is it always possible to get that look?
Creating lasting upper breast fullness can be quite a challenge but there is a lot we can do. Read on to see which type of breast you have and your best approach.
Understanding The Problem
- Upper fullness is not a natural breast shape, normal breasts are flatter on top, fuller below.
- Upper fullness is seen in some very full-breasted teenagers and young women. Many women have upper fullness during pregnancy, this fullness is breast swelling from a hormone surge. As the hormones subside, so does the fullness.
- Many women still want this alluring look.
Who is most likely to get that look and have it last, just with implants?
- The smaller the breast, the easier it is. In small breasted women, implants almost always create stable upper fullness and at times it looks unnatural because there is no lower breast tissue to soften the look.
- In normal-breasted women, small to medium implants are likely to create lasting upper fullness. The implants are not too heavy. The breasts do not sag. The implants that create the upper fullness stay in place.
Who is least likely to get the look just with implants?
- The larger the breasts and the implants, the harder it is.
- Women with large to very large implants face the issue of the weight of the implants making the breast droop, just like naturally heavy breasts. Gradually they slip down the chest and the upper fullness fades away.
- Women who already have very large breasts and have implants placed will have even heavier and droopier breasts. Putting large implants in a large breast can make them sag within months, even if a breast lift has been done.
- Any woman who has a breast lift and large implants already has breast tissue that is stretched, whatever the cause. These breasts lack holding strength to start and like putting large implants in large breasts, putting large implants in lifted breasts can cause sagging within months after surgery.
But wait! There is hope for women who want large implants.
- The answer is to add internal supporting material called ADM. Acellular Dermal Matrix – a skin-derived material strong enough to support an implant
- ADM is sewn around the implant, like an internal bra. It holds the implant in place, taking the weight off your own tissues so they don’t tend to sag.
- It adds time and cost to your surgery but it is our best way to get lasting upper breast fullness in large breasts.
