I'm definitely wanting implants as I am seeking lager breast but I am getting mixed messages regarding a possible lift. I have been measured and was told the sag is Grade 1 and was told I could go with largish implants alone which will give an improvement regarding the nipple position. Will implants alone give me the result I'm wanting? (see last couple pics). Or do I inevitably need the lift too? I am thinking 400CC under the muscle. I'm 26, no kids.

Answer: Good thinking. 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 lift You will never look like your wish pics without a lift. Although the concern about higher costs are real, fear of scarring is not warranted. The shape of a breast, not the well healed scar on it, is the most important determinant for patient satisfaction. A big implant is not a lifting agent and will leave you bigger than you want with suboptimal breast aesthetics.
