Am I a good candidate for a crescent lift with implants? (Photos)

A crescentic lift is reserved for those with minimal sagging/ptosis. It accomplishes a lift by radially drawing in skin around the areola.

Based upon your photos, it is difficult to say with certainty that a crescentic lift would be appropriate. You appear to have mild ptosis/pseudoptosis which may respond to a more limited approach. That being said, if the droop is mild and you are willing to tolerate a small degree of post op ptosis you may be able to avoid a lift entirely.

As always discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Thanks for your question! What kind of lift, if any, is really contingent on how big you'd like to go and what you are hoping to achieve. I'd suggest an in-person consultation. Good luck!

Thank you for your question and for including photos—they help clarify your anatomy and goals.
Based on your images, your nipple position appears close to the inframammary fold, which means you're likely in the range where a crescent lift could be considered. This type of lift is suitable only for very mild nipple descent, and in your case, that seems anatomically plausible.
However, since you're aiming for a significantly larger implant, it’s important to consider how much additional volume will shift the breast tissue and nipple downward. Large implants can accentuate existing laxity, and in some cases, they may create the appearance of further droop, even if there was only minor descent to begin with.
A crescent lift may help with minor adjustment in nipple height, but it does not address skin laxity or breast envelope tightening. If your goal is volume with upper pole fullness while maintaining a lifted appearance long-term, a more supportive technique (such as a vertical or circumvertical lift) might ultimately give you a more balanced result—especially with large implants.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your tissue support and implant goals in detail would help confirm the safest and most effective plan for you.
