I'm 22 y/o, no children, African American. What type of incision would be best for me? Should I just get a lift? (photos)

Thank you for your question. You would benefit the most from a breast augmentation and a breast lift done as a single operation. The incision is for you lift would most likely have to be a lollipop configuration. This will best be determined during an in person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your photographs, the best shape and contour could be achieved with an implant
and a wise pattern or vertical breast lift. Your nipple sits below the inframammary fold and
without a lift in addition to the implant, this will not have a natural
shape.  A breast lift with an implant can result in a very nice shape if
good technique is used.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
