I am currently 21 y/o. I’ve had weight fluctuations since I was a teen and my breasts have never been perky. But after reaching my target weight I feel insecure due to the loose skin and increased sagging. I don’t care to increase the size but I would still want something there. Would merely a lift be sufficient or should I get implants as well?
Answer: Should I get a lift? I would suggest a lift only. Do to the current FDA findings on different cancers associated with breast implants, I do not suggest breast implants at all.

Answer: Breast lift with implants is likely the best treatment for you It appears that you are very deflated, with excess skin, and very little breast tissue. If a lift alone is performed, you will have very flat breasts, which would likely not be satisfactory to you. A modest implant with lift will improve the contour of the breast, without tremendously increasing volume. A breast lift with implant is also called a Mastopexy Augmentation. The goal of this surgery is to obtain a pert, youthful breast appearance, with fullness of the upper pole that would not be possible with a lift alone. Keep in mind that the scars for a lift or lift with implants are exactly the same, so if you are going to have the surgery, I would suggest getting the best possible outcome on the first surgery.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Considering options From your photos it appears you can consider a lift, but you may have a better overall shape with a small implant. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. I've included a video on this subject that I hope you find helpful.
