Are my breasts at risk of drooping with/without implants? What's the best breast augmentation option for me?

You are an excellent candidate for breast augmentation with a variety of techniques.  The only thing I would warn you about is not to go too large because that could create sagging over the long term.

Thank you for your question and for sharing appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for a breast augmentation. You do not show signs of drooping, and if you choose an implant that is anatomically appropriate for your anatomy, you should not run into problems for many years. Obviously age or pregnancies affect breasts, but implants won't have a huge effect on that. Make sure you're working with a board certified plastic surgeon. Breast of luck! 

Hello,Thank you for your question. Unless you select very large implants, excessive drooping shouldn't be much of a concern. Everyone's tissue is different and I recommend consistent, supportive bra wear for all my BA patients. All the best

Hello,Based on  your current breast mound shape and nipple position, you are unlikely going to have much ptosis other than mild glandular ptosis; your nipple is likely going to remain in good position.  Of course, pregnancy may affect overall breast shape with or without implants, leading to eventual need for a breast lift. The only factor that can increase you need for a breast lift with regards to breast augmentation is implant size. Although other factors may not affect ptosis, your decision about what type and shape of implant, the incision, and the placement of the implant will affect other things. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons. Best of luck!

Breasts that are heavy tend to droop over time due to the effects of gravity and due to stretching that occurs when they enlarge with pregnancy.  with age, skin can lose elasticity and make drooping  more severe.  supporting your breasts with a well fitted bra may help to maintain your results longer.

Jenna,
Every breast is at risk for drooping but that doesn't mean you need to get implants. Get implants if you are looking for more volume in your breasts.  Adding implants, if done improperly, may make you more at risk for drooping.  My recommendation is to meet with a plastic surgeon in consultation to go over your options and perform a good exam.

Thanks for the question,

In my practice for cases like yours I prefer use the Cohesive Gel - Silicone Breast Implants with textured cover ("gummy bear implants") They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and natural appearance.

Kind regards

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.  This entire surgery
can be performed with a small incision technique.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. Although gravity is definitely not our friend and will make everything sag eventually, you are smaller chance to have your breasts droop because of the quality of your skin at the current time. There are a few factors that lead to sagging breasts. Probably the most important factor is your skin quality and how it ages. However, it is also important to remember that the larger you go the faster they fall. Another factor that comes into play and frequently causes breasts to sag is pregnancy and changes in weight. I hope that helps and from your pictures, you are an excellent candidate as long as you don't go big and keep it very natural. Best of luck. 

Jenna.   First off, you have very pretty breasts and from your photos, there are no signs of ptosis.  Incision location does not affect ptosis, and higher profile implants are sometimes used to improve ptosis, when present. In your case, moderate or moderate plus implants appear to be all you need, as you do not have ptosis.
