Breast Lift: Do you need a breast implant.

A breast lift or mastopexy is designed to reposition the nipple and reshape the breast. It usually requires removal of skin and the addition of scars to the breast. It can tighten the breast envelope which can make the breast look slightly smaller, however the tissue can also be repositioned to mimic the look of an implant. If you get a breast lift you do not necessarily need an implant as this can increase your volume too much, leading to poor scar quality and recurrent sagging. In your... more

Breast augmentation and mastopexy

Thanks for the question and pictures. I think you will definitely benefit from breast lifting surgery plus or minus breast implants (if you want to increase breast size or superior pole volume). There are a variety of different mastopexy procedures that are available depending on the patient's specific needs and goals. I would recommend consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons for direct examination. This consultation will allow you to get... more

Breast implant & lift?

If you are happy with your breast size, then just have a breast lift and skip the implant. Adding the implant may have more complications and the possibility of more surgery in the future.

C cup interested in implants?

If you're already a good volume then as you suspect, no there is no reason for you to have breast implants. A good lifting technique will improve the shape of your breasts to a very nice and youthful look.

Lift with implant

It's great that you recognize that you need a lift. When the breasts sag they tend to look smaller without a bra because the breast has enlongated. When you lift the breasts they project more giving it a perkier almost larger appearence. Adding an implant will add volume to the breast, particularly the upper pole. In some women a lift alone will not sufficiently add volume to the upper pole. If you like the size and shape of your breast when... more

"are you happy with the size of your breasts when you wear a bra?"

This is the key question to whether you need implants or not. if, when you wear a bra, you are happy with the size of your breasts, you should be fine with just a lift. the idea behind a lift is that you are preserving the volume of the breast, while removing skin, to reshape the breast. like tailoring the skin so that it holds up the breast like your bra does. if, on the other hand, even with a bra on, you would like to be fuller, you would then need an implant... more

Lift and/or implant

You need a lift with or without the implants. The implants willnot do it alone the breast and nipple have to be elevated.

Lift and fat grafting

You have mild to moderate sagging and implants will not help to lift your breast. You will need to have breast lift . If you like to have more upper pole fullness and cleavage,I would recommend lift and fat grafting at the same time.
