Breast augmenation wlthout a lift

You do have stage one ( early stage) sagginess of your breasts. Your nipples are still above your inframammary creases ( where your breasts meet your chest wall ). Your breasts are slightly assymetrical, which isnot uncommon, they need more projection and the upper poles need to become fuller. A pair of silicon implants style 15 with at least 300 ml. would improve your breasts signifiantly. You do not need additional scar for breast lift.

Breast Augmentation without Lift - no problem if nipple above breast crease

Your photos so you are on the border of needing a donut lift with implant. As for size at least a 400 cc HP But you need in person evaluations to fully understand the choices.

Breast augmentation without a breast lift

Thank you for your question and for providing photographs. It looks like you would do fine with breast augmentation without having a breast lift. Although it is easier to tell by an actual examination, the determining factor on whether or not you need a breast lift is where your nipples are in relation to the folds under your breasts. In general, if your nipples are above the fold, no lift is necessary. Based on your photographs, your nipples appear to be above the folds. more

Lift with Breast Augmentation

Given your photos (thank you) you are not a candidate for a lift as your nipples sit above the natural breast fold. Size would be best determined when your PS measures the size of your pocket.

Is a lift needed?

Yes, you can definitely have augmentation without needing a lift. Your nipple sits above your crease when seen from the side. You are simply missing volume.

Breast augmentation is the answer when you have minimal sagging.

You really have little sagging and don't require a lift, which is great because you didn't want the extra scars anyway. Breast augmentation will provide the upper pole fullness you want. Also, you have pretty small areaolae. They will look better with implants, a little larger and not collapsed. So BA it is!

Breast Augmentation without a Lift

Based on the photos, it would seem that you would be a good candidate for a breast augmentation without a lift (mastopexy). You have a little asymmetry when comparing the breasts, but that shouldn't cause any problems with the augmentation results. There could be a possible issue with the amount of lax skin (pseudoptosis) below the areola, which hangs down below the inframammary fold. Pseudoptosis is a condition that is difficult to correct without a lift, and simply... more

Breast augmentation without a lift

From your photos it looks like you have grade I ptosis of your breasts. This meand that you can expect a good result with breast implants alone. Your nipple area just will not be centered on the breast. As far as size goes that is a personal thing. It is really up to you. A c to full c is not too large for most people. In you that would most likely be above 350cc. A full examination and discussion is essential.
