I'm a 49 year old female that's 5'4" and 150lbs. Lost 50lbs over a year ago. Am I a good candidate for implants without a lift? I have denser breast tissue. Breast fed for one year 15 years ago.
Answer: Breast Lift or No Lift? Thank you for your pictures and question. Your breast is holding the straw up under your breast fold. That is a simple way to tell that you will need a lift. Also you nipple is below your breast fold which is another way to tell that you will need a lift. If a surgeon puts implants in above the muscle without a lift, this will help to lift them, but they will sag greatly because of the weight of the implant. If the implants are put in under the muscle without a breast lift, then your implants will be too high and your natural breast tissue will hang off the implants. So, You will need a Breast Lift. Hope that helps!

Answer: Breast augmentation without a lift? Thank you for your inquiry! A lift would be recommended with the placement of the implants. Bringing the nipple back up to the level of the fold would give the best result. We would love to meet with you to discuss your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon!

Answer: Augmentation with a lift? An augmentation without a lift is unlikely to achieve a great aesthetic result. Combining the procedures is likely better if the goal is to have better shape and have a fuller chest.

Answer: Lift & Augmentation Based on your photo, you would likely benefit from a breast lift in addition to augmentation. Without a lift, implants alone might result in larger but still droopy breasts. A lift will enhance shape and positioning, giving you a more youthful and balanced appearance. Discuss your goals with your surgeon to ensure the best outcome.

Answer: Breast Lift with Implants Thank you for your question. After significant weight loss following breastfeeding, breasts may lose volume and appear somewhat flattened. Because you have sagging and a lower nipple position, a breast lift with implants may be recommended to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance and to reposition the nipples higher. However, whether implants alone accomplish the desired outcome depends on skin elasticity. If your skin is elastic enough to accommodate the increased breast volume from implants, you may be a candidate for implants without a lift. This approach may be suitable if your primary goal is to enhance volume and fullness while accepting some sagging. Alternatively, a combination of implants and a breast lift may be necessary if you seek a more lifted and youthful contour. Your surgeon will offer personalized recommendations based on an assessment of your breast size, shape, nipple position, and skin quality to determine whether you would benefit more from implants alone or a combination of implants and a lift.

Answer: No You would need a lift/mastopexy. You have too much breast on your abdomen. An implant will provide more fullness and shape but the breast would "waterfall" over the implant and not look pretty.
