Hi! I’m 28, have had 3 kids which has caused my tissues to be super thin. I have loose skin and not much breasts to start with. Not sure if I would need a lift in addition to implants. I don’t dislike my breast position, just want them to be fuller- especially the upper pole.
Answer: No lift Thanks for your question! I think the little amount of droop that you do have will be corrected with an implant alone. It feels as though a lift would put unnecessary scars on your breasts. Good luck!

Answer: Implants with or without lift Thanks for your question and photos. The answer might depend on the implant size you choose and how much stretch is present in your skin/areola. An implant might fill out your skin laxity adequately and "lift" the nipple to a certain degree. If you're bothered by the areolar size - a small lift around the nipple could reduce the areola size and tighten up any residual skin laxity. The left side is a little more ptotic and has more overhand. If this asymmetry bothers you the lift could correct that asymmetry as well. Get a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons to make sure you're choosing the right implant for your goals. Going bigger than you want to avoid a lift is not a good long term solution.

Answer: Lift + implants or implants alone? Small implants placed above the muscle should be fine . The shape could be improved with fat grafting.

Answer: Lift + implants or implants alone? Hello, You may be a candidate for implants alone but I take multiple measurements and would also want to see a wish photo to see your end goal to determine. A breast augmentation may give some lift and implants can help give upper pole fullness. You may do a breast augmentation and if you wish for them to be higher and tighter a lift can be done later on. Not many people want the scarring associated with a lift. All the best, Dr. Joe

Answer: Exploring a breast augmentation. While I cannot fully access your skin laxity through photos, a thorough consultation including evaluation, measurements and a discussion of desired goals will dictate what is the correct procedure for someone. An augmentation will address most of the laxity. it is possible that a small lift or a circum-areolar (incision just around the areola) lift may help achieve the desired look.
