Just need advice? I do not want the lift scars
Hi. Implants can help you create a more full and symmetrical look. Your larger breast is more saggy but not too bad. Only the scars for a breast lift would help make that more symmetrical. If you don’t want those scars, then there will still be some asymmetry of your breast shape even if the size is closer. I would avoid liposuction as this will create more sagging on that side and the improvement in volume symmetry isn’t necessary if you’re using implants also. Talk to a very experienced plastic surgeon to explain this in better detail at an in-person consultation. Best of luck!
Dear br5693,determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
