Is a mastopexy needed in my case? (photos)

Hello, thank you for your question. That is exciting you had your first consultation. It really is tough for me to give you advice based on the 3D simulation. It really depends on what your expectations of how lifted you want your breasts to sit on top of the implant. Speak to you plastic surgeon about your ideal look and be sure to bring in some wish pics that closely resemble your body type. Feel free to check out our before and after gallery.

Just based on your photos, you do not need the mastopexy or lift. You should do very well with just implants.

Dear Exquisite572827,
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.
