Will breast implants improve my slightly sagging breasts without a lift or will I need a lift as well? My chest lacks volume (I have lost alot of weight), and my breasts are far apart, deflated and a bit saggy from the front. But from the side, the nipple and areola are well above the crease.I'm 22 and plan to have kids and breast feed them someday. I'm 5'4 and 128 pounds and my bra size is a small 34B (Breast width=13cm). I'd like to be a full C-D cup again (that was my cup size when I was heavier). What kind of implants would suit me best?
Answer: Breast Implant with Lift? Judging purely by your photos, you may be fine with an implant only. There can be argument whether it should be subglandular versus submuscular versus dual plane. You have enough lower pole tissue that a dual plane would help you and give the result you need without the down fall of subglandular implants. I would try to match the implant to your base diameter and you may benefit with a higher projecting implant to get you the fill and as much lift as possible. Just remember only through an exam can it really be decided if you need a lift. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Implants to Lift Slightly Sagging Breasts? Thank you for your question. There are some women who will benefit from adding a breast lift to a breast augmentation. In general, if your nipple is located at or above the crease below your breast then a lift is typically not needed. In addition to nipple position, measurements are also used to determine when to add a lift. It's important to know the breast implants do not lift the nipple to any significant degree, so you can't escape the lift by using a breast implant. Breast sagging is a spectrum and women with mild/moderate sagging can sometimes go either way. In this situation, I typically recommend breast augmentation as an initial procedure, waiting six months, and then only performing a breast lift if it is truly needed. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide which procedures are right for you.

Answer: Dual-Plane Augmentation It’s not unusual for plastic surgeons to encounter patients who don’t have breast hypoplasia associated with mild breast sag.These patients want larger breasts, but don’t want the scarring that’s frequently seen with breast lift surgery.Under these circumstances, dual-plane breast augmentation offers significant advantages.This procedure creates a pocket beneath the pectoralis muscle, as well as a separation between the muscle and the overlying breast tissue.This results in the implant having muscle coverage superiorly and breast tissue covering the implant inferiorly.Your pictures suggest that you would be an excellent candidate for a dual-plane augmentation procedure.

Answer: Breast Implants, Lift or both Your answer is all about a combination of how perky you would prefer after surgery, the shape of your breast, elasticity of your skin, density of your breasts, and other factors. An examination by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can guide you is what is needed the most at this point. See the below link on how to choose your best plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast implants to lift sagging breasts Thank you for your question. If you are considering a D cup breast then it is possible that an implant alone if large enough can give you a good result without the need for a lift. Keep in mind that with future pregnancies you may need a breast lift.

Answer: Lift? The answer is no. I always suggest a lift but I understand woman do not want scars but if they choose implants alone they probably need larger ones than I would want and for sure in time they will have a poor aesthetic outcome so the choice is a short term gain only
