Is breast lift the only option for sagging breasts?

Dear SLP, Many women share your concerns regarding their breasts. The ideal situation would be to improve the shape and size without any scars. However, if you don't like the location of your nipple, the only way to move it to a better location would be to make an incision around it. The way to determine if... more

Ladies never want a lift. They want an operation which fixes the shape of the breasts without the incisions of a lift. Unfortunately, when you are a C cup with sagging tissue, you need a lift.

No one likes scars, especially on breasts.  If both doctors are board certified plastic surgeons, and experienced, you already have your answer.  On the other hand, it is always possible to go ahead and get your inplants and see how they look.  If you are not happy with the result, get the lift... more
