I’m 26, wanting implants but don’t want my breasts to sag further. Can I get a crescent lift or will I need an anchor lift in combination with implants?

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: What type of Breast Lift The answer to your question depends on the final result you want and your chosen implant size. Well placed breast implants will lift your nipple-areola complex and fill up loose breast skin sufficiently that you'll look quite nice without any breast lift at all. If you want even tighter skin envelope with "perky" breasts, areola lift can be added. The vertical or anchor scars, permanent features, can be added for even tighter skin envelope if your preference is for very low profile implants and you're accepting of the scars in exchange for a more youthful lifted robust breast shape, but are likely unnecessary based on submitted photos.
