From your side photograph, you can see you have more breast upper pole fullness and your nipples are pointing downward. You may benefit from repositioning the nipple-areola complexes using a donut mastopexy. From your frontal view photograph, your breasts are wider than your chest wall and your cleavage is quite tight. You may want to consider smaller implants, not larger implants.

Dear penguin97,

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.
