Can A Breast Lift Create Sustained Upper Pole Fullness of the Breasts?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  I am assisting in research for my girlfriend regarding a breast lift. She wants her breasts to be higher profile (more northern pole mass). We kind of understand that a normal breast lift will not achieve what she wants really.

She has 500cc silicon implants already. I was researching the REFINE tissue anchor and stumbled across your practice.Can you provide a little information on the REFINE system and if you think she can achieve that real high profile look she is wanting?

A: I would not have confidence that the Refine Breast Lift can produce sustained breast lift results on top of a large implant. Not to mention the difficulty of navigating around  a implant to do so. This needs assured volume like a different and larger breast implant or upper pole fat injections.

As a general rule you can’t lift your way into increased permanent volume.
