Am i a candidate for Circumareolar Lift? (photos)

Question

I already asked docs if i need a lift or implants alone.. been told i am a borderline candidate for lift. Most docs suggested implants.. and breasts lift later. Today i found out that there is an option for lift without scars - circumareolar lift , and i wonder if i am a candidate for it and will it give me great shape and perky breasts? At the moment i am not happy with shape, asymmetry and i want D cup as well. Looking for solution for the perfect result. im 29, 5'4", 125 lbs, no kids. thanks!

The circumareolar lift will place a scar around the areola.  This will lift your areola a little bit.  It does tend to flatten the breast and does not improve breast shape to any great degree.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast 
lifts each year.  Look for great reviews and great before 
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I think at least on the left side you need  a lift and probably a circumareola will be a good choice to balance the heights and lift the breast once implants are placed.

You will need a breast lift of some type if you want to achieve excellent symmetry after your breast augmentation.However at this point it is difficult to decide if you need a circumareolar lift or a lift with a vertical component.  This question can be answered much more accurately after you have had your breast augmentation and the implants have settled into the breast shape.  I would be a shame to have a circumareolar lift now only to find 3 months down the road that a vertical lift would have given you a better result.

Looking at your pictures:  A carefully executed circumareolar lift will help you address your concerns. However, lift alone will probably take you to a "C" cup. If you want a "D" cup, you may have to accept a breast implants with it as an augmentation/lift surgery. Both can be done in one setting. This procedure is not customarily staged.I recommend that you discuss the procedure in person with your plastic surgeon. Other parameters have to be taken into consideration such as your measurements, degree of droopiness, amount of your breast tissue and skin tone are among them. Good luck.
