Will a Breast Lift Suffice to Achieve my Desired Look? (photo)

Hi there, i'd appreciate opinions regarding breast surgery if possible please. I am 26 y/o, no plans of having children for at least 5+ years (if ever), and I have had saggy breasts since my late teens, with large nipples, which i've always longed to have corrected. In my early 20s I was a d-cup, but these days I am more like a c-cup. I am looking into breast lift surgery, and debating if I should also get small implants - I just want my perky, d-cups again. Would a lift alone achieve this?

Will a Breast Lift Suffice to Achieve my Desired Look?

You have answered your own question--if you wish lifted and larger breasts, a lift alone will not accomplish this. If you raise your arms overhead this will give a simulation of a lift, and the breasts may appear smaller than in the position in this photo. If the breasts seem too small in the arms elevated pose, you will need implants in addition to the lift. All the best.

Desired breast look

A lift alone will not change your breast cup size...if you are a c cup now, you will be a c cup or smaller after a lift, depending on the type of lift. If you want to be larger, your skin has already shown that it tends to sag, so a lift will improve the shape, but cannot defy gravity if you use a large implant...

For example, I would need to learn from you what you mean by “perky,D- cups". This description can mean different things to different people. In my opinion, the best way to communicate goals of what you are trying to achieve is with the help of goal pictures. Show your plastic surgeon examples of breast that... more
