Is a Breast Lift Needed with my Augmentation? (photo)
Hi! I was quoted as being a 'good candidate' for a peri-areolar lift with my augmentation (via a virtual consultation). I'm not sure of the grade of my ptosis, but I am fully aware that there is some droop. In your opinion, would there be a significant difference? Thanks!

Do I need a breast lift
Your nipple and areola on the right side appear to be lower than the left side in the frontal view. The lateral view of the right side is not very clear but you appear to have some ptosis. Sizing of your implants is critical and you probably need a little touch up lift at the same time for a better finished look.

You may not need any lift
Hello,
Thank you for the question and photo. You appear to be in a category where an augmentation alone would suffice as well as a possible purse-string lift would be mildly helpful. Your options at this time would be to get the augmentation alone or to also add a purse-string mastopexy. If you are receiving an average size augmentation of around 350 you may want to choose to have the augmentation alone and reassess later on if you also desire a small lift which you...

Breasst lift and augmentation?
Some women with mild ptosis will benefit from a periareola or circumareola lift along with implants. An exam in person will help determine this. I do them all the time and patients are usually very happy with the improvement.

You don't always need a breast lift
Based on the photos above, you don't need a breast lift with a breast augmentation to get good results. From the side view, your nipples appear to be at or above your inframammary fold which is where they should be. Although there is never a 100% guarantee that won't need a lift, implants alone will most likely give the your breast the fullness they need to fill them out and make them look great. Worst case scenario, is that you can always still get a breast lift later if...

Is a Breast Lift Needed with my Augmentation?
A breast lift is not crucial to good results with your anatomy, but it will give a different look to the breasts. You need an examination and consultation in person by a skilled surgeon to give you an idea of what the difference would be with or without the lift.

Breast Lift needed with Augmentation?
To start off I would say that I do not know how anyone could give you a definitive surgical plan without seeing you in person. Photographs are inconsistent and do not always provide a clear picture of your anatomy. It is also critical to assess things like skin compliance and consistency of breast tissue and this cannot be done in a "virtual" consultation.
That said, I think your photos do show that your situation is such that there is not a clear straightforward solution. Your...

Do I need a breast lift in addition to augmentation?
Looking at your photographs it appears that you have some asymmetry between the 2 breasts which is fairly common. From the photos it is hard to decide whether you will need a breast lift. You may be able to avoid it.But you must be exmined by a Board Certified plastic surgeon which would be the best way of knowing what you need. Good luck!

Lift with augmentation
Sometimes implants alone can create an illusion of a lift...however, they are never going to replace a lift if that is necessary. Though added volume will help to fill your breast skin, you have two issues that still exist, one is a small amount of drooping that could be accentuated by the implants, the other is the size of your areolas which will likely stretch even more than the size that they are now after augmentation. A periareolar lift will address both of these issues to...

Deciding wether you need a lift with an augmentation?
Breast Ptosis is too much skin for the amount of volume. It is often after having a baby - (postpartum atrophy) or weight loss. The answer is decided by the following things:
1) How much larger do you want to be?
2) How "loose" is your skin quality?
3) How perky do you want to be?
4) And a you a good scar healer and willing to have scars.
You have too much skin for the amount of volume. You either add volume, remove skin, or some of each.

Is a Breast Lift Needed with my Augmentation
From these photos, I feel that if you have implants placed without a lift, your own breast tissue will drape off the implant, an unsatisfying appearance to say the least. A peri-areolar lift will reposition the nipples/areolae higher and perhaps a bit more centrally to avoid that appearance, and should give you a nice result.
Thank you for your question, best wishes.
