I recently booked a surgery date for implants only. I've seen at least 4 surgeons, 3 of the 4 told me I do not NEED a breast lift. The one I ultimately chose told me I'm on the cusp of needing a lift due to my weightloss. I understand that there is some elasticity to my skin and my nipple position is a little lower. I'm getting antsy thinking I may need a lift, but I realize I could get one later on in life - maybe after having kids. After all, won't the implant still look good in clothing?
