Breast Lift Without Implants for Small Breasts? (photo)

Thank you for the question and pictures.

I think you are an excellent candidate for breast lifting ( without implants),  if you are happy with the size of the breasts but wish to raise the position of the breasts and the nipple/areola complexes on the chest wall. You will achieve these results with the breast lifting operation;  the trade-off will be scars ( probably around the areola and vertically).

It would be in your best interest to meet with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals. I recommend showing  your surgeon “goal pictures” to communicate your goals as clearly as possible. If, for example, you find breast pictures with more volume/fullness superiorly you may want to consider breast implants as well.

Your plastic surgeon will be able to guide you depending on what you communicate to him/her.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. Some patients might have inadequate breast tissue. In case of gland and fat tissue decrement due to breastfeeding and for the patients with saggy nipples, we definitely need to apply silicone prosthesis procedure for breast lifting. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question, and for posting your photographs.  You would likely be a good candidate for vertical mastopexy, with the understanding that your breasts would indeed remain fairly small.  The use of breast implants would impart additional fullness to the upper pole of the breast; if this is not your priority, and excellent result can still be attained with breast lift alone.  The areola would decrease in size and sit higher on the chest wall, and the overall breast shape would be quite a bit rounder.
