Do I need a breast lift with my augmentation? (Photo)

A
anonymous12345612Jul 11, 2024

I am 5’8” inches and 125 lbs. A couple of years back I was about 10 pounds heavier. Since losing weight I have noticed the shape of my breasts have changed, and they feel deflated. I am interested in minor breast augmentation to improve the shape and symmetry. Essentially, I want perky symmetrical breasts with a nice shape, just slightly bigger than they are today. I also do not want under the muscle implants. Do you think I will require a lift to achieve the look I am going for?

Overall you look great! I think a small mastopexy on the right will get you the symmetry you are desiring.

Dear katereview2019, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper...

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most...
