What's Best for Me - Augmentation (Overs or Unders) or Lift with Augmentation? (photo)
I have already seen about 4 surgeons and they gave me different answers, i am so confused now, i just want everything to go smooth and get long term results.Would love to get DD. I am 34 years old, had 2 pregnancies and my breasts went to F-G size with a first one. I measure 32B/C now but they are deflated and empty. My sternal notch to nipples is 23 and 24mm. Also i have a very thin skin, i get cuts and bruises easily. I wear 6-8 size tops. Please could you tell me what would be best for me!

Breast Augmentation and Lift Options
You have gotten different answers because there are different approaches, and each approach has its own set of consequences. The best way to get firm advice is by scheduling an in-office consultation. Having said that, implants alone will give you all the fullness and shape that you want; however, your skin looks like it is prone to stretch. If you go to the DD range, you should expect more stretching over time. At some point, you may then want to consider a breast lift. Your...

Options for deflated breasts
Using a larger implant could fill out the breast without the need for a lift, but your breasts may end up hanging a little lower. Generally the larger the implant, the faster your breast will sag.
It would be best to see a surgeon in person to discuss what size implants are best for your chest measurements and existing breast tissue/skin thickness. He or she could help you decide what size implant and if a lift would help you achieve your goals. Don't be afraid to get more than one opinion.

What's Best for Me - Augmentation (Overs or Unders) or Lift with Augmentation?
Thanks for the questions and posted photos. But over the internet is NOT the correct forum to give specific treatment choices. Best to seek in person evaluations from boarded PSs in your city. Ask if the doc has the logo "the circle" of the ASPS!

TO LIFT OR NOT TO LIFT
There is no one answer to your question. A lot depends on what type of look you are trying to acheive. It appears you have a long thorax with low lying breasts. If you want a more perky and higher positioned breast then a lift with implants is the right approach. If you would be happy with larger, fuller lower positioned more hanging breasts then an augmentation alone would be appropriate. You need to discuss your desires with your plastic surgeon.

Over/Under with or without lift
Placing an implant on top of the muscle may accelerate breast sag and can even lead to a rock in a sock look. As your nipples look to be above the breast fold, your best bet would be to get an augmentation via an extended dual plane approach without a lift. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Lift or augmentation
Hello. Judging by your pictures, your nipples are not below your inframammary fold meaning you do not need a lift. That being said you may still consider a mastopexy if you want youthful perky breasts. As far as long term results a mastopexy would most likely look better longer if you are ok with the scars.

BA+Lift vs Ba with anatomical shaped implants
Thank you for your interesting question.
I think your breast cannot be improved "only" with a breast augmentation with round implants. Yo would have a better appearance if a mastopexy/breast lift would be associated. As you state in your question ("...I want a long term results...") the final result without a lift would be poor in 2-3 years time.
If you don't want to add mastopexy scars to your breast augmentation, the best and more suitable option is to perform a BA using ANATOMICAL...

What's Best for Me?
Most surgeons in the US prefer subpectoral placement of implants for most patients. That is particularly true for patients either starting out on the small size, and for those getting enlargements of over a cup size.l
As to the lift, a useful recommendation depends a lot on your goals. Although the nipple/areolar position looks ok on the photos when evaluated in terms of the relationship to the breast fold, the whole breast looks a bit low on your chest. This may appear more...
