Is this sag or just emptiness of the top? If it's sag, what grade would it be? Is it minimal, moderate or significant?
Answer: Borderline Grade 1 (Mild) Ptosis Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you've provided, you have a lack of upper pole fullness which is giving the appearance that the breasts are "drooping" or "sagging" more than they actually are. I would say you are right at the border between no ptosis (drooping) and grade 1 ptosis (mild drooping). If you'd like to address this, and desire more volume, you would benefit from a breast augmentation (implant placement) and depending on the position of your nipples after implant placement, possible also a small lift. I hope this helps!

Answer: There might be minimal to moderate sagging present. The concern isn't solely related to the upper breast shape; there's also a degree of sagging present. The evaluation of sagging typically involves assessing the alignment between the nipple position and the inframammary fold. While it's challenging to make a precise judgment based solely on photos, the sagging appears to fall within the range of what can be considered minimal to moderate.

Answer: Minimal; Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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, if interested. 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.

Answer: How bad is the sag of my breasts? Based on limited photos- it appears that you have pseudo-ptosis which can be treated with mastopexy/lift+ possible smaller implants ( if you desire volume increase). You can also have just Augmentation with implants but it will not lift the breasts like lift would do-and the breasts will continue to sag overtime. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

Answer: How bad is my sag? Thank you for the question and photos provided. It does appear that you have some tissue falling below the inframammary fold but your anatomy is still in good shape with nipple areolar complexes at nearly the maximally projecting point on the breast. If you are wanting more breast volume and added upper pole fullness, you could consider an implant alone to fill out your breast envelope and give you an appearance of a slightly higher, fuller breast.
