I'm 5'5 & 107lbs size 34b. I had an online consultation for a Breast Augmentation and I was told I need a lift. I'm looking to get high profile silicone implants under the muscle. Do I really need a lift?

Answer: Breast lift Dear Thoughtful534297, based on your photos, it looks like you would need a lift. My preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Answer: Do I Need A Lift? From the images shown, it does appear that a bilateral breast lift would be beneficial to restore appropriate breast aesthetics.
