Breast Lift Without Implants for Small Breasts? (photo)

Thanks for the question. Some patients might have inadequate breast tissue. In case of gland and fat tissue decrement due to breastfeeding and for the patients with saggy nipples, we definitely need to apply silicone prosthesis procedure for breast lifting. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question, and for posting your photographs.  You would likely be a good candidate for vertical mastopexy, with the understanding that your breasts would indeed remain fairly small.  The use of breast implants would impart additional fullness to the upper pole of the breast; if this is not your priority, and excellent result can still be attained with breast lift alone.  The areola would decrease in size and sit higher on the chest wall, and the overall breast shape would be quite a bit rounder.

Often small #implants or fat are used to restore fullness to the upper portion of #sagging breasts during a #BreastLift. However, the procedure is customized to the needs of the patient. Such will be discussed in greater detail during your consultation with Dr. Nichter or Dr. Horowitz to learn about the options best for you.

That is a great question. It is difficult to decide on whether or not a prospective patient will need animplant without properly examining her. The only way to know is to have a physical consultation with a surgeon. Your measurements and FEEL of your breast tissue dictate everything.  This should have little to do with what you WANT but rather what you need….that is if you want a natural result. However, it is correct to assume women with smaller breasts and less sagging can sometimes get away with a breast lift without an implant. Although sometimes a lift without an implant can leave a breast deflated. I hope this has helped.  

You are a good candidate for breast lift surgery.  The implants are only required if you want to be a larger size.  As part of the lift, the areolas may be raised and decreased in diameter.
