Will I Get a Good Result from a Breast Lift Without Implants? (photo)
I am completely opposed to implants, so please dont even try to convince me to get them. I have already made up my mind - NO IMPLANTS... thanks... However, I am still torn on whether its worth the bother to get the lift done? I just want to repostion my nipples. I'm not looking to get any major upper pole or anything like that, and wouldn't even mind if they end up a tad smaller as a result of the lift. I just want to know if its worth the time, money, and not to mention scarring... Thank You!

Mastopexy without implants
You can create cleavage and shape without implants. during the breast lift if you reshape the breast tissue like an implant the results will look like you have an implanted place. When you're doing a breast lift you want to get the maximum lift possible so the lift will hold over time. In my opinion central pedicle short scar breast lift is a key to creating a breast lift with good cleavage and shape without an implant.

Lift without implants
It is clear from your question that you understand what the lift will accomplish and what it cannot. You want a more youthful elevated position of the nipple areola complex and are not overly concerned with upper pole fullness. A lift can accomplish your goals. Your photos demonstrate good breast volume which can be shaped during the lifting procedure.
Only you can decide if the final result is worth the time, money and scarring. This is directly proportional to how much your breast...

Beautiful breasts without implants
I couldn't agree with you more. Implants would only make things worse for you in the long run. There is a new technique that is called the Ultimate Breast Lift that reshapes and suspends breasts without the need for a vertical scar. The scars are hidden around the areola and in the natural crease under the breasts. The results are natural and very pleasing to patients. This technique works for all breast and skin types. It's worth looking into.
Best wishes, Dr. H

Yes a breast lift can improve the shape of your breasts
Hello,
A breast lift is designed to shape the breast while a breast augmentation is designed to increase the volume of the breast. A breast lift for you can certainly improve the position of your nipple/areola as well as improve the symmetry between the breasts. If done properly, a breast lift can also improve the shape of your breasts by reducing the amount of skin laxity. I have attached a breast lift only before and after link from my website as an example of what...

Yes you can get good results with breast implants
It is most certainly possible to get beautiful result from a breast lift alone, without a need for breast implants. A breast lift lifts your breasts and reshapes them. If you are happy with the volume of your breasts (size), then adding an implant will not add to your satisfaction and could only lower it by giving you breasts you didn't want.
A breast lift, known as vertical sling mastopexy, can give you a great lift and shape that will create an impression of a...

Will I Get a Good Result from a Breast Lift Without Implants?
A breast lift will result in breasts that do not hang down so far, and the nipple will be elevated into a better position for a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape. Your existing breast tissue will be pushed higher so that there will be some degree of greater fullness behind the new nipple position, in the main or middle portion of your breast. There will be NO greater fullness in the upper portion of your breast, which you say is not important to you, as only implants can...

Breast Lifting Worth It?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Only YOU can answer the question whether breast lifting is "worth it" or not in your specific case. It will come down to how much the the "deformity" (position of the nipples) bothers you versus the costs ( time, money, scarring) associated with fixing the “deformity”.
Based on the pictures it is clear that a breast lift will help you by raising the nipple/areola complexes and ...

Lift without implants
Go for it. You should get a great result with just a lift. Definitely worth it. I never try to talk someone into implants. Your bra size shouldn't really change much at all. If the surgery is done well than the scars should heal thin and flat and eventually blend in well. You will feel sexier and enjoy your breasts more if they are higher, tighter and perkier as I suspect that this is your goal.

Breast lift without implants
From your photo it appears you have adequate breast volume, and I agree with you that you don't need to have a breast augmentation with implants. You could consider a breast lift to reposition the nipples. This procedure could be done in a variety of ways. Excess skin could be removed from around the areolas in a donut shape, resulting in a scar only around the edge of the areola. Or skin could be removed from around the areola and...

Breast lifting without implants?
Hello, A breast lift will definitely raise the nipple/areola complex and tighten the breast skin envelope. Breast lifts help breast shape and position on the chest, while breast augmentations help increase the volume of the breasts. If you are happy with the size of your breasts or don't mind being slightly smaller after your surgery, a breast lift would certainly be a good option for you without the use of implants.

Breast lift
Soleely based upon the single photos you posted, it appears that you have ample tissue to mold a nice breast in a lift procedure. Of course, to be sure, a full exam is essential.

You should get a good result with lift only
If you are happy with the size of your breast ,then lift alone will give you the shape. You have uneven breasts and you will have uneven breasts after surgery. Lift will remove some skin,reposition the nipple/areola complex and firm up your breast tissue.

Is a breast lift a good idea?
Breast lifts are quite common in the United States with close to 90,000 performed in 2010 according to stats from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Breast lifts improve the overall appearance of the breasts by removing excess areolar tissue, as well as skin excess from around the areola and the inferior portion of the breast. The areolae typically look smaller and the nipples sit higher after the procedure. Patients need to...

Concerns about a breast lift
Providing you answers to the questions as to whether a breast lift is "worth the time, money and scarring" with little other information to go on aside from 1 photo, no present bra size, goals, etc., no examination and a resolute opposition to usage of breast implants, is impossible. Yes, a breast lift will tighten, contour, rejuvenate and lift your breasts including your nipples, but there is far more to this.
You would be best served by obtaining one or more consultations...

Breast lift without implants?
Only you can decide how much you want the lift, and the strength of your sentiment will determine whether or not it is "worth the time, money, and scars." Nobody online, or even after examining you, can make this decision for you. In the office, with my hands plicating and tightening as I will do in the operating room, I simulate mastopexy results to help each patient visualize their breast lift in advance, and the size and location of scars. Also, view photos of...

Breast Lift Surgery without breast implants in Los Angeles
Breast lift, or mastopexy, lifts the breast but also reduces the size of the breast by one cup size. If your breasts are too large prior to a breast lift, and you don't mind going smaller then you might not even need implants. On the other hand, if you don't want your breasts to get smaller with a breast lift then you need to augment the size of your breast with a breast implant. Most women in Los Angeles who seek breast lift have also lost breast volume after child birth or weight...
