Can I improve saggy breasts with implants only? (Photos)

The breast has the skin which is the envelop of the volume ( breast gland). Adding more volume will not improve the loose or saggy skin, but will give the appearance of fullness on the upper pole. Is understandable not wanting to get scars but also know the results you can get with just breast implants with is recommended in your case sub glandular ( two it will drop with your gland ) and not big . I personal evaluation with a Board certified Plastic surgeon were he/she can make a personal assessment and show you cases can give you a better idea of your result. Hope this help!

Hi there, thank you for your question! Yes I think the 2nd photos are definetly achievable with a moderate breast implant. It could provide you fullness at the top of your breasts that is currently lacking.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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 then get to choose what looks right for them. 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.

Implants do not lift breasts. Many women do not like breast lift because of the vertical scars associated with the traditional techniques. For this reason, an alternative was developed called The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You will benefit from a breast lift along with implants. Implants alone will not give you your desired look.

Dear Madhf,
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.

With no lift, you will need to place the implants behind the breast tissue only. No, you will not get the same results as your wish photo, since one breast is lower than the other, but it may be somewhat similar.

Dear Madhf,
You would be best served with a subglandular breast augmentation with at least a periareolar (around the nipple scar) lift. Right now you are quite low with downward facing nipple/areolas. Post implant alone, you will certainly have low breasts with downward pointing nipple areolas which will get worse over the next few years.
The periareolar scars are not very bad and although this type of lift does not elevate the breasts as well as the lollipop technique, it will markedly change your appearance for the better.
Best wishes.
