Im looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I dont mind some sagging and am not opposed to a lift in the future.
Answer: Breast augmentation without lift Thank you for submitting your question and uploading photos. It appears you have mild ptosis (breast sag) that could still provide for a nice result with breast augmentation alone using a dual place pocket technique. That being said, your nipple position will still be slightly lower than someone without any breast ptosis, If you are ok with that, then absolutely you can get breast implants without a lift. If at some point in the future you find your nipples too low and want a lift, a lift alone could always be performed while leaving the implants in place. Hope this helps. Be sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Implants and lift Hello and thank you for your question, Your photos show some degree of ptosis (breast sagging), which is perfectly normal. However, when placing an implant, the implant would typically sit higher on the chest. If there is breast tissue that sits lower than this, it will create a "waterfall" deformity, where it looks like the breast tissue is not centered on the implant. Usually, with the amount of ptosis present in the pictures, I would typically advise patients on including a lift along with the augmentation for best results. In your case, I would advise an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to perform an in person exam and counsel you on your options. Thank you and good luck on your journey!

Answer: Implants Hi there! Thank you for your question. If you're aiming to go large and don’t mind some sagging, it's possible to get implants without a lift. Sagging may appear as drooping of the breast tissue off the implant, many find quite unaesthetic. Also keep in mind that larger implants can increase sagging over time.

Answer: Breast Implant with Lift Thank you for your question. You likely have breast ptosis, which means the nipples sit at or below the breast fold. You would need a breast lift with your implants to achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. You can absolutely go larger, but to do so safely and attractively, a lift with your implants is needed now due to the nipple position and degree of breast ptosis. A skilled surgeon can plan your implant size and lift technique to minimize scarring while maximizing fullness.

Answer: Yes you can Hi, according to your pictures we can say that you don’t have actual ptozis, you have glandular ptozis which can simply fix by implants. Actually when implant size increases the need for lifting is decrease in your situation.

Answer: Vivid Thank you for your question and providing photos. I have been in practice for almost 30 years and I do many many revision breast surgeries. I always tell my patients breast implants fill the breasts out, they DO NOT lift the breasts. If you are ok with some sagging I would recommend a dual plane pocket so the lower poles will fill out better. As far as size goes it will depend on your base dimension and the profile of the implant. It appears you may need 2 different sizes due to your breast volume asymmetry. I would recommend consulting with a BC PS who can go over all of these issues with you. I hope this helps
