Do I need a breast lift to achieve fuller breasts? (photo)

P
PNW24Jan 20, 2024

I would like to have fullness back in my breasts after pregnancy, nursing, and weight loss. I would like to know if a breast lift will be required before implants. My only goal is have fullness to fill a bra or bathing suit properly, not necessarily have high, perky, breasts.

I do not think is would be a problem to convert a peri-areolar lift to a vertical mastopexy. In fact, you will have a better outcome with a more shaply, durable lift and the areola will be crisp and round. I would not hesitate to proceed. Thank you for sharing.
