Answer: It depends Certainly the best way to achieve upper pole fullness is a breast implant. There are breast lift techniques that utilize your own tissues to achieve more of an augmented appearance. The technique I use moves the footprint of the breast up on the chest wall and can produce very nice superior fullness in select patients. No 2 breasts are alike and there are many types and shapes of breasts. There are certain breast shapes where you can achieve the appearance of more superior fullness with your own tissues. However a flat, ptotic, deflated breast will not achieve upper pole fullness without an implant or fat grafting.Fat grafting is an option for a more subtle upper pole augmentation. You will not get as much volume as with an implant, but the contour is quite appealing and natural. You should make sure to discuss these options with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what procedures will best meet your goals.

Answer: Upper pole fullness The answer is sometimes. There is a technique called auto augmentation that uses your own tissue to create upper pole fullness. This is incorporated as part of a breast lift. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to determine if you are a candidate. I've included a video about this that I hope you find helpful,

Answer: Fullness In most women, just doing a lift does not give a lot of upper breast fullness. Implants can be added for that. However, the volume available is dependent upon the size of the breast and how much lifting is done.

Answer: Possible but long term unlikely Hi Neat729665, Breast lift is able to remove excess skin, raised the nipple vertically, and centralize the breast tissue which is low. In general, this produces more central fullness and a nice contour to the upper pole, but the upper pole generally has a straight line contour as opposed to a rounded contour. Around upper pole contour can really only be achieved with an implant. While some patients have that nice upper pole fullness in the immediate postoperative period, as everything stretches and settles, it tends to decrease. To be fair, lift alone can have an incredible aesthetic result, producing a naturally shaped breast with improved central fullness. Ultimately, you would need to decide if this meets your goals.
