I am 5'5, 108 lbs, 29 years old no kids but have lost 35 lbs over the last year. I am looking to restore volume in the upper pole area. I am scheduled for my pre-op next week on October 12th, with the surgery scheduled for October 20th. During my virtual consultation, my surgeon recommended a lift in addition to the implants. What grade of ptosis do I have? Would I be able to achieve good results with just implants? (photos of me + goals included)
