Breast Lift: Q&A

Breast Lift Before and After Photos
I'm considering breast lift surgery, and I've been looking at before and after photos. A lot of them include breast augmentation as well as lift, and I'm not sure if I want implants or just the lift. Should my doctor be able to show me photos of just a breast lift? And what else should I be looking for in the pictures? Scar placement? Or breasts that seem similar to mine?

After breast lift, breasts should look perky and full with minimal scars.
Hi.
1) You most definitely do not need breast implants to get a good breast lift, without changing size. Implants are good if you want to be bigger.
2) Your surgeon should certainly show you pictures of breast lifts without implants.
3) In New York City, we do most breast lifts with a lollipop scar. For a lift with implants, the scar is just a circle around the nipples.

Breast lift photos and implants
Number one question: Do you want to be larger. If the answer is yes, then get implants. If the answer is no, do not. Breast lift options and the scars may vary depending on the goals of the patient, scar tolerance, degree of sagging of the nipple and/or the gland. Discuss this with your surgeon and look for photos that show patients with a similar body type and breast shape.

Reviewing Breast Lift Photos
Hi there-
A breast lift with an implant is a dramatically different operation than a breast lift without an implant, and I would definitely want to know my surgeon's skill level in this technique prior to proceeding.
My personal opinion is that achieving reliably lovely results from a breast lift is much more difficult than with most of the other procedures plastic surgeons perform- and all of the funny looking breasts you can see on the internet have proven this to be true. I am amazed...

Breast lifts, scars, and photos
Whenever looking at photos for breast lifting or breast augmentation, or both, you should always concentrate on those that are as close to your pre-operative appearance as possible.
If you need a lift, you need a lift and just getting implants alone is the worst thing you can do. The lift can often be a limited incision procedure like a periareolar lift or vertical lift. If you have a lot of sag with extensive excess skin, your surgeon will likely want to do the lift first (likely a...

Breast Lift Before and After Photos?
Thank you for the question.
Yes, your plastic surgeon should be able to show you examples of previous breast lifting patients. You should look for the overall improvement of the breast positioning, shape, symmetry, and scarring. Keep in mind you that early on especially scars may be more visible... You may or may not be able to find examples of breasts similar to yours.
Best wishes.

Breast lift before and after photos
Your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should be able to show you Before/After photos of Breast Lifts, with and without implants. If you just want the nipple to be higher and are happy with your cup size, then a lift is possibly all you need. If you want to be larger, or want upper pole fullness, an implant may be needed. There are many variables that go into which surgery is appropriate for you, (and subsequently what scar you will have).

Breast lift photos
Breast lifts can certainly be performed without implants. Usually I perform a vertical lift that limits the scars. Of course if you want more volume, then implants are required.

Breast lift photos with and without implants
Many plastic surgeons have before and after photos of breast lift patients with and without implants. These pictures can often be found on their website so you can get an idea of what can be achieved. It is helpful if you can find a picture of a patient with similar characteristics as your own. It is very important to see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. He/ she can evaluate you and best determine whether placement of an implant is appropriate in addition to the type...

Breast Lift
Yes, your surgeon should be able to show you photos of both lift only and lift/augmentation patients. In addition to looking at the scars, look at the apparent size increase in patients who have not had implants placed and this will give you a sense of whether or not you need or want to be larger. If possible, ask to see after photos which are at least 12 months out from surgery so that you can get a sense of how well the results will hold up with time. Good luck and best wishes....
