Breast lift with implants for perkier breasts

You will most likely need implants for added volume and you will probably not need a lift. The implants themselves can give a nice lift as long as they are of a good size (300cc.) see video

Do I Need a Breast Lift With My Implants? (photo)

Thank you for posting pictures with your question. It is always difficult when you do not show all the angles that we normally take in our office. Your left nipple is lower than the right with slightly more droop. Because I can not see your shoulder level you might be leaning to the left causing this discrepancy. You do have great shape from what I can see and your nipple areola complexes seem to be at or above the breast crease. I think an implant alone will give you great upper pole volume... more

Lift or just implants

Photos can be a bit deceiving based upon the angle of the shot. But in general from your photos, it looks like you may not need a lift. Always best to be properly evaluated in person.

Do I need a lift with my implants?

You can get breast implants without a lift, it just depends on your expectation. It's best to sit down with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to give you the best advice.

Lift Needed with Implants?

For an ideal shape and nipple position, it is likely that you need a small lift, but you can likely get away without one. This is a conversation you need to have with your surgeon in detail. It is likely you can revisit the possibility of the lift later if needed. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through and in-person consultation.

Breast asymmetry

If you just put in implants you will likely increase the visible asymmetry. It may be better to adjust the left nipple position and place a larger implant on the left at the time of surgery. My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship.... more

Breast lift with implants?

Based on your photos, you could get an excellent result with implants alone depending upon the size. Very large implants will likely have some drooping without a lift, but will also look natural. Remember that large breasts cannot defy gravity.

Breast Lift Needed?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full indication of your goals, I think that it is very likely that you will do well with breast augmentation only. Although your breasts may be “deflated/empty” after breast-feeding, they have retained a pretty shape and position on the chest wall. The best advice I can give you online is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic... more

Lift or no lift

Implants will likely sit low on the chest wall, but not worth the scars of a lift.

Lift or No Lift

A good exam with breast measurements will give you the most accurate answer. Based on the pictures you may not need a lift. This is based on the position of the nipple in the lateral view picture. The nipple is above the fold (crease). Typically this position of the nipple does not require a lift. Dr. ES
