Will my breasts still look like pancakes if I only do a lift? (photos)

I’m currently a size 36 D-DD. I want to do a breast lift but by just doing a breast lift alone will I still get that flat pancake looking boob? Or can a round shape be achieved with a breast lift. Or do you recommend an augmentation as well? Added photos of my boobs and boobs I like :)

You should be completely fine to leave those in your hair for your breast augmentation. The main concern with piercings or other objects would be the cautery used to stop bleeding may conduct the energy causing a burn. What you are describing shouldn’t be affected. Best of luckJosh Olson MD
