Can I Get Bigger Higher Breasts with No Lift? Has Anyone Heard of a Vertical Lift Without Moving The Nipple?

One dr. says no lift saline or silicone. 339 cc. He says saline will lift the breast higher than silicone. He said that a lift won't give me the look I want. Which is high d-dd breasts. I'm ok with a little bit of the fake look but not ridiculous. The 2nd dr. I went to says that she would perform a vertical lift with out moving the nipple - just remove the skin under the breast. And would do 330 cc saline. Has anyone heard of a vertical lift without moving the nipple? Thanks!

This is called psudo-ptosis. In these cases, it is possible to lift the breast tissue without changing the nipple position... more

Bigger higher breasts with No Lift? Vertical Lift Without Moving the Npple?

To recommend the best surgical approach for your breasts... more

Vertical lift without moving nipples

In rare cases, the lower pole of the breast alone is loose and a lift can help mold the breast and place it in a better position. Implants alone do not raise the breast significantly. AN exam would be key. Good luck.

Breast lift without moving nipple

YES, a "lift" can be performed to tighten loose skin of the lower breast in cases of "pseudoptosis" without lifting the nipple. Technically, this is not a true breast lift, but improves beast shape and reduces breast laxity by tightening (removing) loose excess skin of the lower breast.

Vertical lift without moving the nipple

It's impossible to answer this well without photos. Yes, you can tight the skin below the nipple with a vertical approach without necessarily raising the position of the nipple.
