I have small breasts and want a breast lift with no implants. Is there any point? (photo)

Thanks for your question. It is not necessary to get an implant if you are happy with the volume of your breast. A breast lift will change the position and shape of your breast. I would make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon if your are interested in either. Best of luck! 

Hello and thank you for the question. Breast lift is indicated in correcting loose or sagging breasts. The procedure is done by removing portions of skin and then reshaping the breast tissue. As a result, the entire breast will become firmer and perkier. Whether or not a breast augmentation using implants is added to breast lift procedure is based on your aesthetic goals. Breast lift alone enhances the breast shape. Adding the implant creates more fullness in the upper part of the breast. As a simple rule, I always tell my patients if they like the size of their breasts in bra, they are probably ok with lift only. I would discuss your specific aesthetic goals with your surgeon. Ultimately, operative plan will be based on a detailed discussion between you and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon to show your before and after pictures of his/her patients to get a clear understanding of what is involved in the procedure.
