I am wondering if I would need a lift if I were to proceed with implants and if I have enough tissue where I could go for subglandular implants (under the muscle would be out of the question for my lifestyle). I am fine with the augmented look but am concerned about potential sagging and ideally they would be high profile. I would ideally like them to be closer together to have nice cleavage without needing to manipulate them too much.
Answer: Breast lift Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on these photos, it’s unlikely that you will need a breast lift during your augmentation surgery, especially if you are planning above the muscle.

Answer: Augmentation Mastopexy Great question. Whether to add a lift to an augmentation can be a challenging question. In your case, your right breasts do appear to have some pseudoptosis or breast descent, with the left looking slightly lower than the right. Given your concern of avoiding sagging, I would lean towards adding the lift with the augmentation. This would give you best chance (in my opinion) at achieving a nicer overall round aesthetic breast shape. Other considerations I would have would be the addition of resorbable mesh ("internal bra") if you were considering having them placed above the muscle for longer term support of the implant to avoid malposition or bottoming out down the road. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breasts Your breasts are sagging now. With only implants, you will still be low, still sag, but will be bigger. Implants cannot correct sagging breasts. I suggest a lift with implants and recommend placing them behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness, hiding the implant edge, and better long-term support.

Answer: Cleavage depends on volume Basically, the deeper the cleavage you want the greater the volume. You do have a little sagging but as long as you accept this, it is fine. Implants do little in the way of lifting, but are great to fill out your upper poles the way you want.

Answer: Do I need a lift? Based on the photos alone it appears you would have the best outcome from and augmentation with a lift. This would raise the nipple position and provide more volume. With augmentation alone you may have sagging in the future and it appears one breast sits lower than the other already. I encourage you to meet with a few board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your options and learn more about the procedures.
