Which Breast Lifting Technique Would Be Most Suitable? (photo)

I have consulted a board certified PS & am in process of scheduling the surgery. Dr. has said for perkiest look go for a full lift w/ augmentation, and for a more natural look go with a donut lift w/ augmentation. Below are photos of the look I'm after & my own breasts. I know "perky" and "natural" have different definitions depending on each person. Which lifting would bring mine to the same position and shape? I know all breasts are different, I am simply going for that "style" in the pics

A: Which breast lifting technique would be most suitable?

You are looking for a very natural look with less breast overhang and a somewhat higher nipple position and smaller and less stretched areola.  Judging by the photo example of what you are looking for, you are not concerned about having more upper pole fullness or even a "natural" implanted look.  There are two reasons to use implants...if patients are looking for larger breasts, or if they are looking for more upper pole fullness. I would therefore suggest a breast lift, perhaps a "lollipop" or vertical technique, versus a circumvertical or anchor lift depending on physical exam in terms of how much overhang you have and how low your nipple position is.  Periareolar or Benelli lifts, in my opinion, only work well with implants, as otherwise they result in a persistent flat breast, and if this mild lift is overused (used in a patient who needs a stronger and better shaping variation of a vertical scar lift), then the resulting breast shape and scar quality suffers. If you have a lift to obtain a better breast shape, and later decide that you want more upper fullness from a small and natural-looking implant, this can be easily done.

My Breasts Are Too Far Apart, Will a Breast 'Lift' Help?

I'm a 10D or 8DD and feel they are too far apart, I can fit 3 fingers in the middle before the tissue begins to thicken. They are not saggy at all and I'm happy with the size. Is there such a thing as a breast lift inwards? How much would this cost and what are the options/complications? They look amazing in a push up bra but in a bikini they dissappear out the sides, any info would help :)

A: Garments the only option

From your description, the only option is to use the garments for the look you want.  Lifts make scars and are only done for droopy breasts and implants make you bigger.  So if you like your size and aren't droopy, no surgery would be appropriate for you.

A: Breast lift options

From your photos, I think a vertical lift would get you close to the look that you like.  I do not think an augmentation with a periareolar lift would.  First of all, your volume is similar to the model's.  She does not have alot of upper pole fullness that an augmented breast would have. 

I think the aug and periareolar lift results in a particular look that does not look natural, at least in patients with your degree of sagging.

I must compliment you good taste.  You wouldn't believe the photos some patients think look good and natural!
