I have mild sagging. I am looking for breast implants alone, no lift. Which implant type and profile should I consider--high profile, or low profile; saline or silicone?
Answer: The answer depends on your existing breasts and your desired outcome The answer depends on your existing breasts and your desired outcome. If you have very short distance between the nipple and breast fold, you may want to consider a moderate profile implant, as high profile implants are more likely to leave you with downward looking nipples (if you don't do a lift)As to saline or silicone, there is no difference between then on the shape of your breasts.

Answer: Implant Type and Profile for Mild Sagging Actually, a Breast Lift with the Implants may be something to consider. Getting #BreastImplants without a #BreastLift is usually said to be mistake by many patients who reflect back on the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. At times it's possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result.Additionally, an implant with lift may be useful to re-position the nipples which may have been affected by ptosis or drooping. One of the primary intentions of a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) is to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used especially for breasts which sag or droop (#ptosis). The profile is determined by the amount of projection versus roundness that the you desire, as well as the size of the implant and size of your chest. Also, the placement or incision location will also have an effect on profile. Your Plastic Surgeon will measure you to determine the best shape, size and placement of the #implants to be used.

Answer: High profile in submammary position This is what I do to maximize lift with a breast implant alone:- use silicone cohesive gel implants. The more cohesive the better. I am not sure if these are available yet in the US, but the Allergan Inspira Truform 2 implants are ideal- use high profile implants. The more projection you have, the more lift you will get- have the implants placed in the submammary pocket (under the breast itself). You should have a pinch thickness at the top of your breast of at least 2 cm

Answer: Breast implant size and profile. Generally the higher the profile, the more lift you will get. The problem with high profile implants is their potential visibilty particularly in a thin small breasted patient. IT is best to discuss these options and to try the different profiles on for size to assess the appearance and your acceptance. Sizers are available at your physicians office or can be purchased commercially.

Answer: Breast Implants without lifts A breast augmentation alone can give a gentle lift in some cases, but if you truly need a lift, you may be disappointed afterwards. Speak with your surgeon about your goals so that he can review with you the advantages and disadvantages of a lift, so that you can make the best decision for yourself. In terms of style, silicone implants will usually give the best shape and feel, but you need a good exam to determine which style and profile will give you the result you want.
