Hello, I'm considering Breast Implants without doing a Breast Lift. And wanted to know the alternatives/options for women with saggy breast that wish NOT to perform a breast lift. I'm looking to achieve a full D maybe BABY DD look.I'm a 34 full saggy B/C. My breast width is a 12", I'm 5'7", 138lbs, rib cage 29". I'm interested in silicone. Should women in my situation go mod+ or HP(High Profile) for the upper fullness & do saggy breast women have to go higher in CC to fill out the breast?
Answer: Saggy Breasts Need a Lift-Implants Alone Will Not Look Good
Thank you for your question. From your photos you have Breast Ptosis-your Nipple Areola id below the crease under your breast.
Breast Implants alone will make the sagging look worse. See an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and consider a breast lift with or without implants.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Options to avoid a lift While an implant can allow patients with a small amount of sagging to avoid a breast lift, unfortunately you won't be able to achieve a satisfactory result without a lift. An implant alone, no matter the size or how it is placed, will not give you a result you will be happy with. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Implant Options for Saggy Breasts Without Breast Lift? Thank you for your question. There are some women who will benefit from adding a breast lift to a breast augmentation. In general, if your nipple is located at or above the crease below your breast then a lift is typically not needed. In addition to nipple position, measurements are also used to determine when to add a lift. Breast sagging is a spectrum and women with mild/moderate sagging can sometimes go either way. In this situation, I typically recommend breast augmentation as an initial procedure, waiting six months, and then only performing a breast lift if it is truly needed. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide which procedures are right for you.

Answer: Breast Implant Options for a Sagging Breast without a Breast Lift Thank you for your photo. The photo shows that your nipple and areola are below the breast fold where the wire of your bra would be. This is an easy well to tell whether you need a breast lift. When the nipple is that low, placing even large implants will result in a large, saggy breast. You should reconsider having a breast lift with implants. Good Luck!

Answer: Would recommend a lift Although many women understandably want to minimize scars (as do we plastic surgeons). if you have a certain amount of droopiness (grade 2 or 3 ptosis with the nipple just below or lower beneath your breast fold) then a lift is indicated. For women that are full breasted enough, then a lift alone may be sufficient albeit with a slight reduction in volume/cup size/If you are looking for added fullness that the best choice is a combination of a lift and implants. Based on your photos likely you will need a vertical mastopexy ("lollipop lift") and an implant in the range of 400+ CC. A higher profile implant is best when performing a lift especially if you are looking for a D/DD result.

Answer: Considering the UNconsiderable! Hi infoseeker26, If it is info you seek, I beg you to take heed and listen to the majority of surgeons in this community. Women who are unhappy with sagging in their breasts often mistakenly think getting breast implants will magically lift and reposition their breast to a higher place on their chest. Unfortunately, this just isn’t how our anatomy works.Breast sagging (ptosis) is usually a result of pregnancy and breast-feeding or weight-loss, but not always. To restore breast volume and shape, an implant is used in conjunction with a breast lift (Mastopexy) to restore fullness in the upper part of the breast. During a Mastopexy, the breast is lifted by removing the excess skin and restructuring the breast tissue underneath. There are several types of lifts. In many women a delicate incision around the nipple area (areola) is all that is needed. In others, who have a large amount of excess skin, the incision will need to be extended. A board certified plastic surgeon will work with you during your consultation to explain and show you the reasons he recommends one lift over another. I understand it can be a disappointment if you go in for a consultation for a breast augmentation and the surgeon explains that to achieve a pleasing shape and perkiness, you’ll need a breast lift as well. Here’s a good way you can have an idea beforehand: Standing in front of a mirror, look at your nipples in relation to the natural crease beneath your breasts. If your nipples are lower than your breast crease, adding implants without removing excess skin will make them sag even more! And it will just get worse with gravity over time. And, yes, you will find a surgeon out there that will tell you to just use bigger implants, but, please just believe me, this is NOT a good idea. Best of luck to you!
