Thoughts on needing a lift in addition to implants? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your weight loss! Based on your photos, you would be a great candidate for a Mastopexy (breast lift) then you can try on various sizes of implants and decide what size best fits your goals. We would love to help you reach those goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon so we can create a surgical plan for you!

Hello! Based on your photos and previous history of weight loss, you appear to be a great candidate for a breast augmentation with mastopexy. I would advise scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a full assessment and to discuss your options. Good luck!

Dear Resourceful911362,
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.
