Breast augmentation and or breast lift

From the photo you provided, I believe that a breast agmentation without a lift will be fine. You could always consider a secondary breast lift in the future, but I don't think you have to have a lift right now to have a nice result.

Breast augmentation with lift

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. But it seems you are asking if you can get just breast augmentation or if you need breast augmentation with a lift. I would say from your photo that a breast augmentation by itself should be fine. If you wanted to get the nipples a little higher you could do a circumareolar lift but this of course would mean more scarring and I think the implant by itself would do the job.

Brest lift or breast implants?

There is insufficient volume for a lift alone. There is loose skin, but the breasts are small enough that I think that whatever hang persists after augmentation will be minimal. If it proves to be troublesome, a lift can always be performed secondarily. Given the small volume and ptosis of the breasts, I would recommend a "dual plane" technique for the implant allowing the lower tissue to redrape over the implant while still providing muscular... more

It would help to see photos with your arms down since that position allows your breasts to settle into their normal position and would allow physician reviewers to identify a more realistic appearance to your... more

Does Breast Implant placement eliminate the need for a breast lift?

Breast implants fill out the empty breast envelope but it does not lift the sagging breast. therefore, it is necessary to address breast sagging or ptosis separately at the time of breast augmentation.

Lift or implants

Dear patient, From the photograph you show it appears that you have lost breast volume either after childbearing or weight loss. Because the volume of the breast is small I think a lift alone would likely not satisfy your goals. It's difficult to tell just from the photograph but I think the 300 CC implant would give you the fullness that you're looking for. I encourage you to meet with your surgeon and look at different implants sizers on your body to see... more
