Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Lift and Implant Needed? (photo)
I was trying to research what type of surgery I would need. Will I need a breast lift along with my breast implants. I was never really perky and that is what I am looking to achieve. I am currently a 35B and I am 5'2" 115 pounds. I am looking to have a full C cup, but I dont wish to go much larger.

Lift and Implant Needed??
I think if you had a modest size implant and a peri-areolar lift (incision just around the areola) you would achieve your goal. An actual examination is much more valuable in making this sort of recommendation than is a look at photos.
Thanks and best wishes.

Perky breasts with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift
The goal of breast surgery is to achieve beautiful breasts. Beauty is determined by several factors including breast position on the chest wall, symmetry, skin tone, areola position and volume. In your photographs, you appear bigger than a B, perhaps a C. However, your biggest problem is your breasts are drooping. There is a new technique called Mini Ultimate Breast Lift, which is done using a circumareola incision. Through this incision, the breast tissue can...

Lift and implant needed?
Yes, I think you need a breast lift and breast implants. Only implants will just increase the volume and not give you any perkiness. The most effective lift for you is with a anchor type of incision.

Lift and Implants?
There is no substitute for an examination but I would think that you will likely benefit from a lift as well as augmentation. Remember, however, that implants add weight to your breasts and will tend to result in more droopiness over time. Also, I do not think a lift confined to the area around the nipple is usually effective for breasts with your appearance. Although no one wants to have a vertical scar it does serve an important function in contouring the lower...

To lift or not to lift?
Thank you for your question. As noted in the other answers, your photographs are great but are no substitute for an exam in person. Based on your photographs, I think you are borderline with regards to ptosis or sagging. Depending on your goals, a breast implant combined with a lift can be a powerful tool to help give you a more perky look. The type of mastopexy (breast lift) needed depends on how high the nipple needs to move and on how lax the skin is. Be...

Lift and implant?
A small implant and a circumareolar lift may be the solution for you. Of course, an exam in person is necessary to properly evaluate you.

Lift and Implant Needed?
Thanks for the posted photos but only in person examination + measurements can allow a definitive answer. My guess is a donut lift with larger implant. Goos luck

Breast augmentation with lift
Thanks for the inquiry and excellent pictures. In my practice I would reccomend a lift with your implant to improve the shape and position of the breast. Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your choices.

Cosmetic breast surgery
Since you wish to go a little bit fuller in size, I would likely recommend a breast augmentation with a small implant. I would need to examine you to determine if a lift would be warranted. An assessment of your skin quality and nipple position on your chest wall is required to make any recommendations. Based on your photos, I would likely recommend likely a periareolar lift. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options...

Should I have a lift or a lift with an implant?
You have laxity or sagginess of your breasts so there is no question that you would benefit from a breast lift at least. In general a breast lift will improve your shape but your breasts will be a little smaller. If you feel that you want more volume then an implant is the only way to achieve this unless you explore autologous fat grafting. You best course would be to visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can counsel you after examining you.
I hope this helps.

If you want perky, a breast lift combined with implants is your best option.
You said you are a B cup but to me you look like a C cup. So you really don't want to overdo it with the implants if you want a full C cup size. Remember, the implants will not correct your sagging. Not even a little. If you want to be perky, you need both implants and a vertical breast lift, done simultaneously (and not a nonvertical lift that won't produce the effect you want). If you look on my website at a patient with the initials A.L., you will see what...

Breast implants and breast lift surgery is a powerful combination
I would favor a small submuscular implant and vertical breast lift for your type of anatomy. I've had the best results with vertical mastopexy technique. I think the peri-areolar technique flattens the breast (not perky) and there are issues with scar widening.

Breast augmentation and breast lift?
Thank you for the question and pics. If you only have implants, your breasts would have the same shape, only larger. If you had a peri-areolar lift ("donut mastopexy"), then your nipples would end up pointing horizontally instead of downward. If you did a full lift with an anchor shaped scar, then that would give you the most elevation of your breasts. However, depending on the quality of your skin and connective tissues, you way lose much of the "perkiness" even in...

Breast Implant With Or Without Lift?
In your photos, you appear to be borderline for having true ptosis (nipple below inframammary fold). However, if perkiness is your goal, you probably should have a concurrent lift with your augmentation.

Breast Lift and Augmentation in Youngstown
Since your goal is to be perky and a full C then the best thing to do is to have a breast lift and augmentation. An augmentation alone with a modest sized implant like you are interested in will only make your breast fuller and will not provide for a perkier look. Once the implant settles into position your mild droopiness will return and the breasts may seem to hang a little lower than before. An implant does stretch the skin from the nipple to the breast fold which can...

Breast lifts and implants
Yes, you do look like you need a full breast lift from your photos for the best outcome in my opinion but an in person exam would be required. As for the implant, IF you want a conservative increase in upper pole fullness, the implants can usually be done the same day. IF you want more upper pole fullness (what does "perky" mean to you?), you might need to let the lift heal and do the implants in 4 months. This is because lifts tighten you and implants stretch you. ...
