My right breast implant ruptured. I really do not want to get a full breast lift because I’m scared of the vertical scar an anchor lift will leave, I’m also happy with where my breast sit on chest now (the one with the implant) would I be able to achieve the same result and avoid any type of lift?

Answer: Breast lift and implants Dear Gorgeous162816, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Uncertain what you are asking 'would I be able achieve the same result' as what? You're deflated breast? Do you mean if you took you implants out? Or if you replace it with another implant?
