Will Breasts Stay Perky with a Lift Without Implants?

In reality, it is hard to make the breasts look perky with just a lift, no matter how much breast tissue you have of your own.  To achieve the upper pole fullness that so many women want, you often need the implant underneath to maintain that look.  Initially the breasts will look perky without implants, but after a few months, as everything settles and stretches somewhat, you lose that upper pole fullness.  Without the implant underneath to add shape, the breasts can look somewhat empty in the upper pole areas.  I hope this helps.

 Thank you for the question and picture.

 It is hard to give you good advice without direct examination but most patients your age who are asking for “perky” breasts end up having breast lifting and augmentation surgery. Often, there is a deficiency of breast tissue to allow for sufficient fullness without the use of breast implants.  You may want to consider postponing surgery until you have completed pregnancies.

When the time is right, do your due diligence,  in the process of selection of plastic surgeon. 

Best wishes. 

Although you are likely to achieve a fuller look with a lift, it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve a firm result without the use of an implant. Furthermore, any weight changes or subsequent pregnancies can effect your results and diminish the effects the lift.
