Breast implants for saggy breasts.
Hi!
1) Breast implants will help a lot with moderate sagging, which is what you have. Of course, I am just going by one picture, but you probably don't need a breast lift.
2) I recommend round. smooth walled, moderate plus profile, silicone gel implants placed over the muscle. The right size is about 300 cc's, but this is just an educated guess.
3) Take a look at the breast augmentation page on my website to see how we pick size.

Augmentation for Saggy Breasts
Many women will lose volume in their breasts following pregnancy and nursing. The term for this is "post-partum" atrophy of the breasts. Some patients can return to a more youthful pre-pregnancy appearance with the placement of either saline implants or silicone gel implants. 'Better coverage of the implants is achieved by placing the implants under the pectorals muscle. Additionally, mammography is easier to perform with the implants under the muscle. In some patients who have...

Sagging and implants
Breast implants do not correct sagging breasts. They will increase volume and more than likely you will need formal lift.

Discuss risks alternatives and benefits or various approaches
There are options and no right or wrong options. over the muscle will achieve the greatest amount of "filling" of the "deflated" appearance however, there is a tradeoff of not placing the implants under the muscle (softer upper pole contour, ;lower rate of capsular contracture, easier mammogram interpretation).

The question is not which implant will be the best but what procedure is indicated for the rejuvenation of your breasts. In reviewing your photograph I think it is evident that you need a breast lift or mastopexy as a first step to rejuvenating your breasts and probably implants as well whether they are saline or silicone.

Lifting Saggy Breast With Implants
You could get some lifting with an appropriate sized implant. The best result would be obtained with a silicone gel implant placed in front of the muscle. A larger implant would be necessary behind the muscle to prevent the so called "double bubble" effect.

Best Breast Implants for saggy breasts
As you can readily see there are subtle differences of opinion with well educated plastic surgeons.
In my opinion, you will most benefit from an Augmentation and Lift (Mastopexy) Procedure done at the same time. It would both fill the breasts as well as lift them to a more youthful perky appearance.
Although both Saline and Silicone Gel implants may be used, my preference would be for the gel implants which although more expensive feel more natural and are slightly lighter (for the same...

Transareolar incision more than breast implant type
You may need a breast lift, as breast implants do not lift the breast.
I have found that placing breast implants through a transareolar incision during breast augmentation is a better method for breasts that have sagged.

Breast Implants for Saggy Breasts
Good Morning Syla,
It is important to remember that breast implants are used to increase the volume of the breast and only provide a fairly small lift. No particular implant is best for saggy breasts, however, I do favor silicone implants to achieve a more natural appearance and feel to the breasts. In your case it appears you may have several options. Placing implants above the muscle may give you a small lift and a very 'natural' appearance. However, it is more likely that you...

Benefits of augmentation and lift
Syla
In your photo your arms are up which tends to lift the breasts a bit as well. I would agree that you look like your breast option is an appropriate sized implant accompanied by a breast lift (so called augmentation mastopexy). If you have an implant alone you will either end up with implants sitting lower on your chest or breast tissue virtually hanging off your implants. Talk about your options with your plastic surgeon who should guide you to what is your best option for breast...
