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?
Answer: Breast augmentation You do not need a lift. Your nipple is well above your inframammary fold crease and therefore put in an implant alone and that will push the nipple up at out, you should not need a lift.

Answer: Seeking implants, do you think I need a breast lift as well You should be able to obtain a very good aesthetic outcome without a lift. Although a lift may place your nipple in a more ideal position, the degree of change is not enough to justify the added surgery, costs, scar, and risks.

Answer: Do You Need a Breast Lift? I Don't Think So Thank you for your question regarding whether you need a breast lift or not. In my opinion, you do not need a breast lift. You are young and the skin should have enough elastic strength to support an implant. Therefore, in my opinion, I do not think you need a lift. I hope this helps to answer your question about whether you need a breast lift with your breast augmentation. Thank you and good luck.

Answer: Implants Just based on your photos, you do not need a lift. Your nipples are above your lower breast fold. Wait for the lift after you have had all the children you plan, and then if one is needed.

Answer: Lift or no lift From your photos it appears your breast sit a little low on the chest, but you should achieve acceptable results with no lift at this time. If you are unhappy you can always return for a lift later on.

Answer: 23 year-old seeking implants, do you think I need a breast lift as well? Please give alternate opinions! Dear @MsSurgerySeeker thank you for your question and showing your pictures. There are several factors to consider including patient's expectations in order to make an appropriate surgical plan. The current volume of the tissue and the symmetry of the nipples must also be taken into account. Some techniques can be considered if you do not want implants such as fat transfer to the breast of your own fat, breast augmentation with prostheses and make a little pexy or lift with the incision made only by the nipple without further scarring. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS
