I’m 32 and breastfed my baby. I want more volume in my breasts but don’t want a lift. Can I get augmentation only?
Answer: Do I need a lift You would be a good candidate fir a vertical lollipop lift along with implants. Whatever you do, do not let someone talk you into a crescent lift or donut lift. You would be better off with implants and no lift than one of those options.

Answer: Depends on nipple location If it has been at least 6 months since you stopped breastfeeding, then cosmetic breast surgery may be considered. A lift may help if your nipples are located below your breast fold. This may be the case for you based on your photo although a side photo would be better to determine this.

Answer: Do I need breast lift? Implants provide volume but provide very little lift. Your need for a lift would depend on your goals. Your single photo does not allow for a definitive answer, but it appears you would achieve an acceptable outcome with implants alone. To truly answer your question, seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she can help to define your goals and provide you with realistic expectations with and without a lift.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for this question and for supplying a photograph. I believe you can have a breast augmentation without a lift. An augmentation will increase your breast size and provide more superior fullness without requiring the scars associated with a breast lift. I would point out that your left areola is slightly larger and lower than the right. So long as you are ok with this mild asymmetry I think a breast augmentation would be a great procedure to help you achieve your aesthetic breast goals! Placing a breast implant will correct some of the ptosis or drop of the left nipple and can be done in such a way that will help improve this asymmetry.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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.
