I've met with 3 board certified plastic surgeons. The first 2 never mentioned a lift, but the last told me that I wouldn't have a nice result without a lift because I have a naturally low crease. He marked on my areola where he would move my nipple, which was about 1cm. Like many women, I really would like to avoid the additional surgery time, costs and scaring if this isn't the case. Would my low crease cause a poor result without a lift? Thanks for your time! Stats: I'm 31, 5'4", 120 lbs with 3 kids
