Can't afford both, so wondering which would be the best option - breast implants or breast lift? (photo)

Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. Implants only change volume not shape and position. The technique I recommend is a mini breast lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

An in person evaluation or further photos are needed for the best recommendation. From the photo submitted it appears the nipple is below the level of the breast fold which would indicate a lift is recommended. If you choose to have implants with no lift you will have a larger version of what you have now. Breast augmentation doesn't really lift the position of the nipples. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hi & thanks for your question!
It depends on the look you want and the size you want your breasts. I suggest setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!
