Am I a candidate for breast lift? (Photo)

Hello, my name is Dr. Burko and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in New York City. Being a candidate for a breast lift depends on your current state of health. If you are generally healthy and optimized for surgery, then it is possible to be a candidate for a breast lift. There are multiple breast lift techniques and each comes with it's own advantages and potential drawbacks. My recommendation is for you to see a trained plastic surgeon who can educate you on the surgical options and give you their best recommendation.

This is a good question. If you are happy with the size/volume of your breasts, a lollipop breast lift (circum-vertical mastopexy) would suit you best. If you want to be a bigger size, you may benefit from a breast augmentation, using your own fat or implants. Depending on the extent of your augmentation and skin characteristics, you may or may not need a lift at the same time.
If you are looking to have children in the future, you may decide to wait until you are finished with pregnancies and breast feeding as those can change the size and shape of your breasts, ultimately leading to sagging breasts later on. You may still considering undergoing a breast lift now while planning to have children later - it is just important to know that you may need a second breast lift after child-rearing. Hope this helps!
