A: You have very pretty breasts - but not exactly what you want.

Everything is a trade off.  You need an in person examination by a skilled plastic surgeon.   One has to feel the quality of your skin and the tissue that makes up your breast.

Do you want larger breasts?  Implants alone will lead to larger, rounder breast with even wider areolas.   If you are happy with your size - a type of Mastopexy ( areolar reduction or Vertical lift) might solve the problem - but with scars.

I comes down to - is will you be happier with rounder breast which are larger or rounder breast with scars or your present un operated breasts?
