I'd like to get a breast augmentation with implants placed above the muscle. Can a lift be avoided in my situation? Thank you.
Answer: Can I avoid a lift? The correct procedure for you will really depend on your goals for surgery. Currently your breasts sit a bit low on your chest. If you add implants the nipple position will not be lifted much, but you will have more volume. Also note that the weight of the implant will be supported solely by the breast tissue and skin so if you select an implant that is large the breasts may sag more and more quickly.

Answer: This way, you can achieve the most natural and satisfying results from your surgery. Whether you can avoid a breast lift while opting for augmentation with implants placed above the muscle largely depends on the degree of sagging (ptosis) you have. If the sagging is minimal, implants alone might achieve your desired outcome by filling out the breast tissue and providing some lift. However, for moderate to severe sagging, a lift is often necessary to reposition the nipple and areola, and to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance. It's important to consult with a plastic surgeon who can assess your specific condition and provide a tailored recommendation. This way, you can achieve the most natural and satisfying results from your surgery.

Answer: Lift recommended Your nipples are located below your breast fold. The implants are centred behind the nipples, which means that they would sit rather low on your chest. A lift would be recommended for this reason.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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.
