Will a breast lift alone give me desirable results? (Photo)

N
Newworld4youJun 7, 2022

Mommy makeover in the near future. My concern is my saggy breast. I am still undecided about implants as I worry about having foreign objects in my body and how my body will react. Is there any type of testing I can take to see how my body will react with implants prior to making a decision. Do you think a lift alone I will still get desirable results? I'm okay with having small breast. I've looked into fat transfers, but worry the fat will not survive. I also plan to have a bbl.
