I am booked to have a BA and lift, my number one concern would be the scaring from the lift, and wondered if it’s necessary I have to have a lift as well? My surgeon has made it clear that my nipples would sit uneven but would that be extremely noticiable? I haven’t had any children yet and thought to just have the BA and after children focus on the lift? Or would you recommend doing it all first. I am just looking for a second opinion. Thank you
Answer: Lift recommended Your surgeon most likely recommended a lift to improve symmetry. The left one seems to be sitting lower than your right, so the surgery would lift the left to make it more even with your right. However, if you don’t mind the asymmetry, breast augmentation may be enough.

Answer: Breast asymmetry Your areolas seem to be in different position, one lower for 1.5-2 cm than the other. If you want to correct this, a small lift on that side is needed; very likely incision around areola (donut lift) will do it in your case. If you do not want additonal scar, just do the implants and accept asymmetry, which is not significant. Good luck.

Answer: DonI need a breast lift with augmentation? It is true that with breast augmentation alone your nipples will still be uneven but asymmetry is normal. You do not need a breast lift for any other reason and I do not think the scars are worth it.

Answer: 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 then get to choose what looks right for them. 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: Do I need a Breast lift? Would I achieve even results from implants alone? To lift or not to lift. That is the question! Breast augmentation alone might be a good option if you are ok with maintaining more o less the same asymmetries after surgery that you have now. It will be noticeable.
