My goal is a gentle lift with a natural contour and mild upper fullness - Breast implants or breast lift?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. To achieve your desired upper pole fullness, options include either a small implant or fat grafting. A lift would likely place your nipple position too high.

Implants alone will be insufficient because your breasts are too low on the chest wall. The technique I recommend The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Hello,
Thank you for the question. From the photos, a small implant is needed, and you might be able to avoid a lift, although an in-person examination is needed to determine this.
I wish you the best.

Hello, thank you for sharing your photos. Based on my evaluation, I can see that there is both sagging and volume loss in your breasts. In order to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result, both of these issues need to be addressed.If only a lifting procedure is performed, due to the volume loss your breasts may appear smaller than ideal for your body proportions. If only implants are used, your breasts would be larger but still sagging. Therefore, it would be most appropriate to combine a breast lift with the placement of a small implant for the best result.Of course, the most accurate and definitive treatment plan can be determined after an in-person examination.

Excellent question. A lift alone will probably reduce your breasts more then what you would like. A small implant alone would not give the results you a looking for…BUT small implants with a Donut O Peri-Areolar lift will! This subtle lift with the correct size implants is your best option for sure!

I think you can achieve a nice look of upper pole fullness using a small moderate profile implant. Doing it this way would not significantly change your nipple position or fix the asymmetry, but it would avoid having the telltale scars of a breast lift. Talk to your plastic surgeon in person and he/she can better describe what each option could realistically achieve. Best of luck!

Based on your post photos, you need a full breast lift with small implant but best of virtual consult with for better explanation and more understanding expect fees depend depending on type of implant to arrange from $10,000-$20,000 again best of virtual consult with.
