Syla: I want to answer your question a little differently that some other posts.  I think it is a mistake for you to concentrate on advice about a particular implant style, shape or size.  I suggest your most important decision is the choice of an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. ... more

There are several options that incorporate breast implants to help sagging breasts. There is no best implant, but bigger implants (to a point) work better than smaller ones.
