I've had 5 consults&have had varying advice. I'm trying not to get upset&stressed with making the right choice for the best result. Anwers: 1: no lift & round implants 2: Periaerola lift, mesh bra & implants. 3: No lift & implants 4: T lift & implants 5: No lift & teardrop implants I know I have a small space between my nipple and base/mild tubular & loss of volume on top. Will implants alone improve the shape or do I need a lift. I really don't want a vertical scar.

Answer: What to do? A straightforward and simple approach may be to have breast augmentation and consider a lift at some future point. You may be quite satisfied with just the augmentation and avoiding further surgery. From your photographs, I am not sure you are even a good candidate for a lift. I usually recommend round implants. Round implants will often settle into a teardrop shape depending on the surgeon's technique and choice of round implant.

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: No lift, round smooth implants I would recommend the implants alone with a muscle release that will cause the muscle to windowshade and lift the nipple areola without scars. Your nipples are above your inframammary fold, which usually means a lift is not needed. Also shaped implants have fallen out of favor due to risk, although infinitessimal, of a reaction with surrounding tissues due to texturing of these implants.
