Hello! I am a 35 yo woman considering a breast augmentation with low profile, still deciding between 275/315cc implants low profile. Ive seen 2 deferent doctors and one of them says 100% sure I need a lift, the other says I'll be fine with 250cc. I want something very natural. My back/shoulders are small, I usually use a xs size, my bra size is 34. I have been researching and do you think I would need a regular lift? an periareolar mastopexy? or just an implant 300cc?
Answer: Do I need a lift combined with breast augmentation? I can see why you might receive two different recommendations because your photos suggest you are a borderline candidate for a lift. Depending on your goals you would probably achieve a reasonable outcome with either option. To provide a more definitive recommendation would require a physical examination. At this point you may want to further discuss the anticipated outcomes with your two surgeons or possibly consider a third opinion.

Answer: Breast lift Dear Carpediem77, 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 will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? In my opinion you would need a full lift and not a concentric lift. A full lift is also known as the 'inverted T' or an 'anchor pattern' with an incision that goes around the areola and down the center of the breast and underneath in the infra-mammary fold. I would suggest using a high profile implant but if you prefer a flatter, less projecting breast than I would stay with the low profile. As for size you have to keep in mind there has to be a fit between your breast and the implant and it looks as if your breast is fairly wide which would require a little bigger implant in order to fit your breast.

Answer: Hello Hello, yes, you have pseudo breast ptosis, you need a secondary breast lift, and breast implants to improve the upper pole of the breast.

Answer: Breasts You do have some ptosis and I would recommend a lift, probably a vertical lift. Measurements are needed to see which lift should actually be done. If you just go with the augmentation, you will notice the sagging even more. I would also place the implants behind the muscle for better coverage, upper breast fullness, and support.
