Can I have implants without a lift? (Photo)

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Based on your photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation.

You may require a donut breast lift to help raise the nipple position but it is difficult to tell without in person examination.

Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on your desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions of your chest wall.

I would seek an in-person evaluation by the Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results.

I hope this helps.
Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

As always with breast augmentation, implant selection and placement will be important for your outcome, and this will feed into the decision making around whether you would also benefit from an uplift procedure (mastopexy). It would be worth discussing with your surgeon where they recommend placing your implants (in front of or behind the muscle), the characteristics of the implant that they plan to use, and the type of uplift procedures that they offer. Implants alone, or implants with a subtle lift, could both be appropriate for you if you wish to minimise scarring.

Hello and thank you for your question,
I feel that you could do breast augmentation without a breast lift. Your nipple is above the breast fold. So an implant will fill out the loose skin and give you more fullness especially in the upper breast. The implant will also give you the appearance of a small lift. Best of luck!
