Breast Lift with Implants, small frame - what shape would be best? (Photo)

In my opinion, a shaped implant is not necessary to achieve a natural result in your case, especially since you’re having a lift. The lift itself reshapes the breast and largely determines the final contour. For a one–cup size increase, a moderate-profile round implant around 250–260 cc can provide natural shape and volume.

I agree that a small implant to provide a bit of fullness and roundness would be a good option for your physique and stated goals.

In my practice, I reserve the anatomical ("teardrop") implants for reconstruction patients who essentially have no breast tissue left. Shaped implants can "spin" or change position and can can look quite unnatural in a thin patient, and the problem may require another operation to correct. Just my personal experience after 23 years of doing it :-)

From the photo. you should have a nice result from a lift with a small implant. The one that was suggested by your surgeon seems to be a good selection. If you are placing the implant beneath the muscle and are wanting a round implant you can also have a nice look as long as you don't go too high in the profile. Search through photos of other patients with breasts similar to you to get an idea of what you like and don't like and discuss with your surgeon.
