I have not had children yet, but have been increasingly concerned about my breasts which have been sagging. I am a 36 C, my nipples are straight, but the volume on top is concerning. I have considered a lift but I wonder if just getting implants would be enough to lift them/revitalize them. I have looked into fat transfer with a lift but am concerned about the fatty oil deposits that remain permanently in the tissue, etc. Any perspectives would be appreciated, I will post photos.
Answer: Breasts Although your nipples are probably in a good position, you do have some sagging breast tissue. You probably could do well with just implants, but the lift would pick up the sagging breast tissue. Measurements are needed to be certain.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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: May be sufficient Implants alone may be sufficient, although it would be a good idea to choose proportionately sized ones as this would slow the rate of sagging.

Answer: Is breast lift necessary or can implants on their own volumize and lift my breasts? Implants provide volume but very little actual lift. That being said, you don't have a great deal of sagging to your breasts and could probably get by with implants alone. The need for a lift depends on your goals. Most women would rather leave some sagging than have the extra surgery and scars from a lift. Discuss the anticipated outcome with your board certified surgeon who can then guide and help you to make the right decision.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants Your photographs are inadequate since your arms are elevated. You will need to submit photographs with your arms at your side. However, if there is not a significant change with your arms down, then I recommend a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.
