Asked By:Inventive239200 in Independence, Kansas

I would like to get a breast implants with a lift. Ideally, I would like to have a crescent or donut incision. A bigger size as well is ideal, but the shape (beckoning) is the most important thing. I have included photos of me and my desired look. I would like to know if it is achievable and where the incisions would likely have to go.
