I'm 5'3", around 190# and scheduled for a BA, and I sent in a couple of photos to the surgeon's office. They said I might need a lift but it's really my choice. I am going for a natural look, so full on the bottom is ok. I don't want a lift, but I don't want the surgery to be a failure. They don't sag as much as the picture looks like, it's hard to get a good picture of yourself, lol. Thoughts?

Answer: Do I need a lift as I don't want the surgery to be a failure?
Dear Polite228260,
determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient...
No, you will need the vertical lift or you may be left with somewhat wide and flat breasts since the shape cannot be fully achieved with just the areolar lift on you. Please do not the crescent lift or you will have elongated areolae and still sag.
Yes, once you are 6 months from breast feeding, you can consider getting a lift and implants. I would suggest not going too large for your sagging thinned tissue will not support heavy implants.
