Can I Get Anchor Breast Lift Without Breast Implants?

I'm 5'4,124 pounds and 34A bra size. With the lift I just want to see my breasts higher on the chest with reposition and reduction of the areola so my breasts just feel firmer and more shaped. Also, I do not want to go bigger I would like to have small perky breasts. Thank you

Anchor Breast Lift Can Be Done Without Breast Implants

Thank you for your question. You certainly can have an Anchor Breast Lift without Breast Implants. You did mention that you want firm breasts. Although the Anchor Breast Lift will position the nipple correctly a small implant is usually needed to make the breast firm.

Anchor Lift without implants is best

Hi, Yes of course. I see many patients who need both a lift and implants but I never do the two operations together because each operation interfers with the healing of the other. I encourage my patients to just have the Anchor lift and wait 3+ months to decide if they still want some enlargement. Dr Foster

Can I Get Anchor Breast Lift Without Breast Implants?

In short, yes. You will have perkier firmer breasts, but they will appear smaller because of the skin removal. If you dont mind looking smaller, you will probably be quite happy. The actual glandular tissue will still be the same volume, but tightening the skin will re-distribute the tissue on your chest and they will appear smaller. Good luck!

Breast Lift without Implants

I do think you can get an acceptable result with a breast lift. In fact, you would do very well with a circumvertical (around the areola and vertical scar toward crease) lift, avoiding a horizontal scar. Thank you for sharing your picture, the footplates of your breast (relation of your breast to chest wall) are rather wide, which probably due to a wide breastbone. This will not be changed by a breast lift. In addition, since your breast will... more

Breast Lifting Only Possible?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Of course, you can undergo breast lifting surgery without having breast implants placed BUT make sure that you will be pleased with the results of surgery… Based on your pictures, it does not appear that you have a significant amount of breasts tissue present; I would be concerned that you may not have enough volume/firmness of the breasts after breast lifting alone. As you are thinking about the surgical options... more

Lift without an implant

You most certainly can have a lift without an implant. Many surgeons stage their mastopexy augmentations to achieve more predictable results. So starting with a lift is reasonable. You could always have an augmentation at a later date if you were not satisfied.

Breast lift without implants

Thank you for the question and the photos. You can have breast lift without an implant. The type of lift you need will depend on the examination findings. In general, breast lift involves removing tissue to reshape the breast. This will make the breasts smaller. My advice for you is to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. During the consultation you can articulate your goal and discuss all the treatment options. Best wishes.

Breast lift without implants and Strattice

You certainly may have a breast lift without implants. Repositioning the breast shape as well as reduction of the areola size is accomplished in a procedure like this, however, this may give you slightly smaller breast that you presently have. In these instances, I prefer using Strattice which is a matrix for your own tissues to grow within. This is not an implant, however, it provides a slight increase in size because of the volume it adds to the... more

Breast lift

A breast lift can be performed without an implant, but it does not appear that you have a lot of tissue volume. You may wnat a small implant to give you a firmer feel.

Breast lift without implants

Certainly a lift can be performed without implants. Only you know yourself but I find that many ladies are upset that the tightened tissue appears smaller. A little skin is removed and while it does not contribute much to size, you certainly will be smaller. If you are ok with this, go see some plastic surgeons in consultation who hopefully can help provide the result you are looking for!

Anchor breast lift without implants

From your photos it appears you would be a good candidate for an anchor breast lift. This would tighten the skin around the breast and bring the breast mound higher on your chest. However, having A cup sized breasts, this procedure will not give you very much fullness in the upper pole of the breast. If you a hoping to achieve more fullness in the upper half of the breast, you may also want to consider a breast augmentation with a small implant. Best Wishes. more

Breast Lift Without Implants

You may certainly have a breast lift without having breast implants placed. The goal of a breast lift procedure is to elevate the breast tissue on your chest, and to bring the breast volume and nipple into a higher, more youthful position. If you do not want your breasts to be larger, then a breast lift alone is the ideal procedure for you. Be aware that some women perceive their lifted breasts to appear a little smaller, as the previously stretched skin has been... more

Can I Get Anchor Breast Lift Without Breast Implants?

Most women your size seeking a lift also want larger breasts. Sometimes there is not enough tissue to form a breast shape. As well as I can tell from the photo, you do have enough breast tissue to fashion a breast shape if you were to have a mastopexy. I would not expect the breasts to fell firmer, although that can occur. Your best option is to consult with a plastic surgeon and get a live 3-dimensional exam, and a useful suggestion. Thanks, and best wishes. more

Perky breasts

You sure can just get a mastopexy because you obviously have excess skin relative to your breast volume and a lift would be great.

Hello

In your situation a lift on its own will not give you the perkiness you’re looking for. You can go with a very all small implant to help give you uplifted and youthful breasts. 225cc is one cup size and if you’re not looking to go big that would be a good size. Without an exam it’s hard to be accurate. Good luck
