Can my Breasts Be Lifted Without Implants? (photo)

A traditional breast lift may leave your breasts smaller, therefore you may want to consider augmentation to maintain your size. Implants are not necessary, however. Some patients find that a breast lift with auto augmentation is suitable. Pricing in Toronto, Ontario, generally ranges from $9000-$11000.

The price of Breast Lifting operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area.
In my practice, prices for Breast Lifting operation reaches from 4350 Euro up to 5575 Euro range, and it also includes the travel package such as accommodation, local transfers, and language assistance. If you want to learn more you can click the link below.

Thank you for your question, and for posting your photos.  As you appear to have a reasonable degree of breast tissue volume, a lift without breast implants would likely be a nice option for you - with the understanding that you may not achieve the degree of fullness of the upper pole of the breast that an implant would otherwise provide.  That said, the lift alone would reduce the size of the areola and raise its position on the chest wall, while producing an overall higher, rounder, more aesthetically pleasing breast.

It's a great question and the answer is definitely a yes. Whether to add implants depends on your goals for overall breast size and fullness at the top of your breasts. A breast lift gives a very natural look with a teardrop-shaped breast. For women who specifically desire fullness at the top, then a small implant can be added. Make sure you find an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, so that you can decide which procedure is right for you.

I have a couple of points need to clarify before giving my last reply for your question.If you like your breast size and the way your breasts look in a bra, but wish that your nipples were higher and you had some more fullness in the upper part of the breasts, then a breast lift without implants may be the right surgery for you. It is important to understand, however, that the result of a breast lift depends a lot on the degree of breast sagging and on the amount of excess skin.A breast lift will not increase the cup size of the breasts. Instead, a lift will tighten the skin envelope in order to distribute the overall volume of the breast in an upward direction. Thus we reach a fullness in the upper part of the breast in combination with more pleasing rounded shape to the lower breast.In other words breast lift, or mastopexy, restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts by elevating the nipple and breast as well as tightening loose breast skin, but this surgery will not increase the size of your breast. However the majority of women considering breast lift are interested also in enlarging their breast. Throughout my years in practice, I have found that those women who have enlarged their breasts in addition to a lift are usually more happy with the results of surgery. Thus, mastopexy with implants is a usual two-in-one operation, which can not only reduce drooping and excess skin present in the breasts, it can also produce a fuller shape, better firmness, and often improve overall results.In your case you should be aware that lifting without implant could not be enough to generate a DD result.I hope this helps.

Yes,
it is possible to have a breast lift surgery without getting implants. Implants
provided the newly lifted breasts with added volume, making the breasts look
full and plump. It is ultimately your choice if you want to have the implants
placed or not, though you should understand that your breasts might look
relatively flattened without them. You may also decide that you want the
implants placed at a later time somewhere down the line, which would require an
additional surgery.

Yes. Your breasts can be lifted without an implantThere are a variety of techniques for these operations. Lollipop lift (vertical lift), donut
(periareola) lift, Benelli lift, crescent lift, anchor lift (inverted T ). Most commonly, we prefer the
lollipop or donut lift because of the shape, small scars and easier healing.
Although the “anchor-shape” or inverted “T” incision is still more popular in
the United States, it represents an older technique with extensive scarring and
a less optimal result in many cases. These newer techniques are utilized in the
vast majority of cases, the rare exception being extremely large breasts. The
nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and
the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position.

The crescent lift removes a small amount of skin at the top of
the areola. We find that there is very little
lift and the areola becomes oval in shape and distorted with this
method.

The Benelli lift as performed by most surgeons is just the donut
lift, removing a donut shaped piece of areola and skin then using a
#Pursestring or double purse-string suture to tighten the skin. A true Benelli actually will expose much of
the breast through this incision and then the breast itself is shaped and
lifted with sutures. This is a more
complex procedure and is often not done as describe by Dr. Benellil.

The insertion of an
implant as well, may be advisable to restore superior fullness, which is lost
with aging and after pregnancy despite the rest of the breast being overly
large. Fat grafting can be used instead
of implants to improve the contours of the breast.

When patients undergo breast lift surgery, the decision to
use a breast implant is entirely dependent upon the patient’s aesthetic
goals.If they’re happy with their
breast size, but concerned about breast sag, there’s no reason to perform a
breast augmentation.Under these
circumstances, isolated breast lift surgery is associated with excellent
clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction. It’s
not unusual for women with breast sag to also be concerned about breast size
and upper breast fullness following pregnancy.These patients feel that they have not only developed breast sag but
loss of breast volume as well.Under
these circumstances, a breast augmentation can be performed at the time of
breast lift surgery.This will not only
lift the breast into normal position, but also increase breast size and upper
breast fullness. It’s
important to realize that no two patients are ever exactly alike.For this reason, procedures are tailored to
meet the individual patient’s needs.Although you’re apparently happy with your breast size, an implant might
make your breasts look more shapely. It’s
important to discuss these issues with a board certified plastic surgeon who
has experience in this area.This
surgeon can discuss your situation and formulate a treatment plan that
addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Breast lift without implants - consider the "California Breast Lift"You may be a good candidate for a minimal "short" scar technique breast lift without an implant. An exam would be required but your photos suggest that this is a great option for you. If more superior breast fullness is desired then consider a fat transfer procedure at the time of the lift - The "California Breast Lift" is a procedure which transfers unwanted fat from the abdomen or thighs to the breasts. See the below links for additional details.

To directly answer your question, no, you do not need to have implants with your breast lift.

You said that you are happy with your breast size.  Getting implants will make your breasts bigger. 

Keep in mind, however, a breast lift will lift the breasts up and make them perkier. If you desire fullness in the upper portions of your breast, then this is what an implant accomplishes.

I hope this helps. Good Luck.
