Can a breast lift create upper breast roundness, and if not, is there a way to also have an implant without augmenting breast size? I want a round, full appearance for my existing B cup.

Round fullness for the breast
If you do not want more fill then a breast lift would be the best answer for you provided that your breasts are sagging. If you want more fill and roundness, then an implant is the way to go.

Mastopexy/breast augmentation to achieve upper fullness in breasts
An implant may be used to achieve more volume and roundness without augmenting or enhancing the overall size of the breasts. Still maintaining your "B" cup look and achieving perkiness with the mastopexy (breast lift) procedure. It is difficult to achieve fullness with a mastopexy alone. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all possible options for you. During your consultation, bring in pictures of what you like and what you would like to...

You may consider a breast lift with implants for this result
A breast lift may alter the shape and position of your breasts. However, it is difficult to create fullness in the upper portion of the breast and in the cleavage area with a breast lift alone. Be very specific with your board-certified plastic surgeon about your aesthetic goals. If re-creating this fullness is a priority for you, you may be well served by using an implant at the time of your breast lift. Discuss with your plastic surgeon the appropriate size of his implant...

Breast lift with Implant without Increase in Size
Hi there-
It sounds like your goal is to have breasts which have a more youthful shape, with fulness in the upper pole, but that are not significantly larger than their current size...
This can be achieved in most women, but requires a very sophisticated approach, the success of which is highly dependent on the level of experience a surgeon has doing these complicated procedures.
I do think that you will be most happy with an implant, but probably also will need a reduction of your breast tissue

A Very Different Opinion
I have a very differrent opinion about your question.
You asked quite specifically if you can have an implant without increasing size. The answer to that is "no."
An implant augments your breasts, plain and simple. Any implant small enough to not noticeably augment your breasts will not be enough to add upper pole fill.
If you do not want to be larger, you should not have an implant.
As for whether a lift will give you substnatial upper pole fullness, I believe it depends...

Breast implant is your best bet
The upper pole can be filled best with an implant. Auto-augmentation procedures can be done, but are difficult to do and may not be properly done in all surgeons hands. You should seek out someone who does that regularly. However, upper pole fullness is possible with a smaller implant along with a lift. That combination will likely increase your breast size by a small amount. You may still stay within the same cup size depending on how you fill out your bra currently. Good luck in your...

Sizes and shapes of implants will be important
In this setting, you will likely need an implant to create the upper pole fullness that you desire. It is very important that you be very specific as to what you are trying to accomplish with the surgeon you choose. In other words, if you want a round look, or cleavage which is present in bathing suits, tank tops, etc., the surgery will need to be done differntly than if you want a more natural look. You also need to pick an implant which has a base diameter which is similar to the width...

An implant will be helpful
Especially in a smaller B cup breast, it will difficult to create the upper breast fullness with a breast lift alone. You do not necessariliy need a large implant to get the fullness if that is a concern.

Implants can help with upper pole fullness
Yes, implants are often used to augment upper pole fullness during breast lift surgery. Usually, a large implant is not necessary and make a nice difference. The other option is auto-augmentation, by using the tissue that is normally removed during a lift to augment the upper portion of the breast. Good luck with your surgery.

Upper breast fullness can be achieved with properly performed breast lift.
Hi!
1) In New York City, we do a breast lift INTERNALLY, raising the breast tissue up and not relying on pulling the skin. This gives you good long term upper fullness.
2) If you want EXTRA (really not natural) upper roundness, then we do a "plus/minus" operation, where some lower breast tissue is removed and a breast implant is used to keep you at the same size.
3) Look at my breast lift video on my web site (link below).
