II really do not want a breast lift (anchor or lollipop scar) do you think it’s possible to do the breast augmentation with implants without a lift? I know my nipples are quite low but it doesn’t bother me. However I would be open to a donut lift but I am afraid if the nipple stretching too much. For context I’m 24, no kids yet, 5”7, 63kg
Answer: Not necessarily When young patients just naturally have lower nipples (not after breastfeeding or significant weight loss), it is very possible and often even preferable to start with just an augmentation, especially if you understand and are OK with your nipples being a little lower than the "ideal." A lift can always be added in the future if you decide you want one, but in the meantime you can enjoy having a breast augmentation without the added scars and recovery that come from a lift!

Answer: More photos Thank you for your question! I would like to see a side photo as well, but based on the photos provided, I do think you could get away with avoiding a lift for now. However, in order to correct some of that ptosis, you would need a rather large implant. The more projecting, the more it will correct. With that being said, you don't want to go bigger than you'd like just to avoid a lift. I would suggest an in-person evaluation. Good luck!

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Aug without lift Hello, you are at a good place aesthetically to do a breast augmentation alone. A breast augmentation will give you some degree of a lift that you will appreciate. I also feel that you do not have enough breast ptosis to even consider a mastopexy at this time. If you desire more volume, it is a good time to consider augmentation.
