Is it possible to get upper pole fullness with just a lift?

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.
Hope this helps.

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,
