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

Thank you for your question regarding results after a breast lift and for including photos. They are extremely helpful!

Unfortunately, there is no type of testing that you can undergo to see how your body will react to implants prior to making that decision.

Having a breast lift performed, will make you slightly smaller in size due to removing the excess skin. I recommend that you have an in person consultation with two or more experienced board, certified plastic surgeons in your area to talk about realistic expectations.

Hello!, thanks for your question. The Breast implant will give you breast upper pole fullness, if you want upper pole fullness the implant is a good option. the breast lift will set the breast in the proper place, it will looks beautiful as well, but remember that natural breast has no too much volume in the upper pole, so maybe the fat grafting could be a good option, part of the volume that is transfered will goes away but some fat will remain.
I hope this information helps you.

Thank you for your question. Looking at your photos I would suggest a breast implant along with a lift. An implant will allow your surgeon to give you back the upper pole firmness and better shape. They don't necessarily have to do the implant to increase the size. If you chose to just do a lift that is OK as well. You could always add an implant down the line. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full mastopexy (breast lift) which will put your nipples into the correct position, decrease the size of nipple/areola and allow excess skin to be taken away, giving you a more youthful looking breast. Some people are a little apprehensive to the full breast lift due to the scars, but typically they do very well.
You may be happy with just a lift and no implants, but if you get the lift done first, then you haven't burned any bridges to move forward with the implants at another time.
I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

You may be able to get a great result with a mastopexy (breast lift) alone. A lift for you will likely only remove a very small amount of overall volume, so if you're okay with your current size, this may be what you need.
The good news is you can stage many plastic surgery procedures. If you end up desiring more volume after the lift, you can have implants or fat transfer done as a second stage. Both of these have their benefits and risks. Overall both are good, safe options for increasing breast volume.
If you already are planning on having a BBL, you may be able to use some of that harvested fat for transfer to the breasts at the same time. Fat survival should be about the same.
One of the ways I help my patients determine their plan is to bring goal photos of women (about their size) with the breasts they want to see post-op. This helps us both see what the end results should look like. As always, make sure you discuss your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
