Breast Lifting and Implants?
Yes, breast lifting can be done without using breast implants. Ultimately what operation should be undertaken will be dependant on the patient's physical examination and specific goals. For example, some patients will achieve their goals with breast lifting only; some may “require” breast implants to achieve the fullness/volume that they seek.

Before considering a breast lift, communicate your expectations
Mentor breast implants offer a system of sizing called Body Logic, in which there are tools, which the prospective patient and physician can employ to understand how much "upper pole fullness" the patient desires: this can range from extreme to understated. Once this is established, the choice of implant style (standard, moderate plus or high profile) or even the inclusion of an implant can be specified and the need for a breast lift agreed...

Breast lift without implants possible
Lifting the breasts without adding implants can certainly be done especially in women who are not lacking significant volume from the upper pole or who simply do not wish to have implants placed.
Lifting alone will slightly decrease the volume of the breasts and will not address the deflation of the upper poles that a lot of women suffer from after pregnancy and breast feeding or weight loss.
In women with significant sagging and upper pole or overall deflation,a breast...

Breast Lift can be Performed without placing implants
Yes, breast lifts are often performed without implants being placed. Keep in mind that a breast lift is designed to reposition the breast, while implants are designed to add volume to the breast. If the size of the breast is pleasing but the breast has dropped, as often occurs after childbirth or weight loss, then lifting the breast alone will achieve the more youthful rejuvenation you are seeking.

Breast implants don't lift - they enlarge!
Breast lifts are ideal for people who like their breast size.
My favorite techniques are the Lejour (great shape, great lift and great durability) with an anchor scar or the Goes Technique (good shape, great lift with great durability) with a scar only around the areola.
If volume is desirable then a lift first with implants to enhance volume. Don't make the mistake of using implants to correct for a sagging breast. It always ends in disappointment.

Results from breast lift without implants depend on expectations
In general if you are happy with the size of your breasts when they are supported in a bra then you probably won't want implants. The limitation, however, is fullness in the upper portion of the breast. Despite a lot of great ideas and sophisticated breast lift techniques, no one has been able to find a method that consistently maintains upper pole fullness with a lift alone. So occasionally a low-profile implant might be considered to add the desired shape there without adding...

Breast lift alone
Yes, you can get a breast lift without implants. This is actually safer for a lot of reasons. Additionally, if you desire the fullness and larger size that implants provide, you can do this later.

Breast Lift without implants
If you're sagging or asymmetrical, and are looking for perkiness, you'll need a lift--or, if you also want more volume, a lift and implants. A breast lift raises droopy breasts from one to several inches and excess skin is removed. If you just want to go bigger, the only way to do that is with implants. The great thing about these techniques is that they can now be down with minimal scarring and performed as an outpatient procedure without the need for general anesthesia.
