A lift or implants or a lift with implants are options,

If your nipple areolar complex is at or close to the inframamary fold (the crease under your breast) then you an fill out the collapsed breast with a breast implant. if you have enough breast tissue a silicone gel implant under your breast would be best, if not the a gel or saline breast implant under your pectoralis muscle would be better. if you have significant ptosis of your breast (your breast tissue and nipple well below the inframamary fold then you will need a mastopexy... more
