Petite. In my 30s. Slightly sagging breasts. Maybe moderate. Not comfortable providing publically available photos on this site. My concern is with the push from doctors to get an augmentation and a lift. I refuse to get a lift. I only want an augmentation. Are there any doctors who will just give me my wish for bigger breasts without the ugly scarring of a lift? Because I refuse to accept a lift in my first procedure. Thank you.
Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. 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: I only want breast augmentation without a lift Thanks for your question. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation without pictures. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Trust the experience of your surgeon Hi, In my opinion if more than one surgeon suggested you a breast augmentation with a breast lift it is because that may be the ideal procedure for you in order to have the best result. You can always try to divide the procedures, first by doing the breast augmentation, taking in consideration that you will, eventually, need a lift. You have to understand the limits of each procedure and the benefits of each one. My advice is for you to talk with your surgeon and clear this questions that you may have, may be it is a matter of small incisions with excellent results. Best regards,Dr. Enrique Quiros

Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! Without seeing your photos, it's impossible to answer that question. However, if multiple surgeons are telling you the same thing, there is probably a good reason for it. I would suggest seeking an additional opinion and if you aren't hearing what you want to hear, maybe breast surgery isn't the right choice for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Augmentation If you are confident that a lift is not necessary due to the degree of sagging then I suggest visiting with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you for consultations. Make sure they are experienced, have good credentials, and that you review before/after photos. If all are saying the same thing be wary of disregarding their expertise. An exam or photos would help provide a better recommendation.
