60 pound weight loss maintained, breastfed for 2 years - Preservé implants without a lift? (Photo)

Question

TL;DR No hope for implants w/o lift? 5'8 - 140lbs (had a 60lb loss in 2020, maintained since) Breastfed for 2 years (2016-2018) I had a virtual consult with CEC in Costa Rica because I've heard such good things about the Preservé method and the minimal scarring from the small incision. They suggested a lift as well, but I'm not interested, and they wouldn't know for sure until I was there in person. I don't want them perfect, just fuller in a non-deformed way. I actually like the teardrop type shape, but mine look like empty pockets. Obviously I'm not the expert, and would love to pulse check. Would most docs say the same?

Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
