Can I have implants without a lift? (Photo)

G
Gigi2024May 6, 2024

Hi All, I’m planning to get a BA and would prefer to not get a lift. I have met with one surgeon who did suggest a lift. I feel like my breast are deflated after breast feeding but my nipple is above the fold. Could I please have some honest feedback? Any examples would be greatly appreciated.
