Just need advice? I do not want the lift scars
Answer: Implants If you are open to augmentation, that would be my recommendation. A smaller implant on your right and a larger one on your left can help improve the asymmetry. If you are entirely opposed to the scars of a breast lift, this could be a nice option for improvement in symmetry, although it would be tough to achieve perfect symmetry

Answer: Suction reduction and implants Thank you for your question. In my opinion, you are not a candidate for suction reduction. The problem on your right breast is that it’s already got too much skin and it’s too droopy and doing suction might actually make things even worse. Unfortunately, the asymmetries you have can only best be corrected with some form of lift operation on your right side. The volume differences between your two breast could be compensated for with different size implants, but the skin laxity issues cannot be corrected with implants. While I know, most people aren’t excited about the scars that a breast lift has they do fade nicely over time, and they become a means to an end for the kind of shape form in symmetry that you’re looking for. good luck in your pursuits and if you have any other questions regarding it, you’re certainly welcome to write back.

Answer: Asymmetry 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!

Answer: BA candidate 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Just based on your photos, you need a lift to ensure that you will get adequate breast shape with implants. Implants alone will only further stretch out the breast; you will just need the mastopexy in the near future and it may make that surgery more challenging for your surgeon. I would highly recommend seeing multiple plastic surgeons and make a very informed decision.
