Will being "low-breasted" cause a less appealing result? (photos)

I can't believe a board certified surgeon told you to carry out a mastipexy. Lift for you? why so? any solid justification? You do NOT suffer any kind or degree of breast ptosis (droopy breasts). Your breasts are perfectly shaped, the nipples correctly located and your skin-gland structures optimal. Applying a lift on you would be a total mess, disaster and an unjustified error.Do go for implants only, if possible the latest generation of anatomical shaped, cohesive gel filled and macrotextured shell, preferable subfascial plane.

Thanks for the question, I think you could have a natural nice change in your anatomy with an implant alone and although your entire torso cannot be changes the results would refelct your original anatomy

You have a low-set breast, not a droopy one.  An implant alone is fine, but the position or "footprint" of the breast on your chest can not be changed.  As long as you understand that your breast crease will be in the same position as it is now, and don't expect your breasts to magically be higher up on your chest post-op, then an implant would be fine.All the best,

In my opinion a lift would be a really bad idea in you.  I would recommend placement of an anatomically shaped implant such as an Allergan 410 that will help to autorotate the inferior pole and move the appearance of your nipple up without scars.  I would suggest a transaxillary approach and subfascial placement for the best and most natural appearing result.  I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A. Maercks M.D.

The photograph demonstrates a tall anterior chest with a sizable gap between the top of the breast and the clavicle. Breast augmentation will make your breast larger but will not alter the base of the breast relative to position on the chest wall. Whether or not this is aesthetically problem is subjective. Most women in your situation are pleased with the results of the breast augmentation.

I think you will have a very nice result from a breast augmentation alone.  Your nipple is in a normal position and your breasts are not droopy.  You are correct in saying that a lift would be unnecessary scars and cost.  Best of luck!

Based on these photos alone I would not recommend a breast lift. You nipple position is normal; which is above your inframammary fold. A lift will only create a scar that you do not need. A breast augmentation should give you a nice result.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

I often recommend a breast lift along with breast augmentation for women who have either nipple ptosis (nipple sagginess) or glandular ptosis (sagginess of the lower breast tissue).Based upon the photos you have provided, you have neither of these. I would not recommend a breast lift, and I think you will have a nice outcome with breast augmentation alone. Thanks for sharing!

Your  nipples in the photos look like they are in a good position. You might be fine with implants alone. Best to be seen in person.

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery only (no breast lift).  
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. In bra sizers can be useful communication tools also. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during the communication process.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers).
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
