I want a breast augmentation without a lift
Answer: It all comes down the nipple position In your case, your nipples are sitting on the lower portion of your breast. Patients whose nipples are slightly lower but not at the bottom portion of the breast can get away with only an implant. In your case I would recommend a breast lift as well to place your nipple in the proper location on your breast.

Answer: Expectations As a patient with significant existing breast tissue and breast ptosis (droop), a breast implant will simply give you a slightly bigger version of what you have. This is because your breast implant is placed underneath the breast tissue you already have. As you can imagine, your natural breasts will be on top of whatever implant is inserted, so the change in size and shape will be very limited. The actual aesthetics of your breasts will only change very slightly if you have just an implant without a lift. If you are wanting to address any aspects relating to shape, symmetry, cleavage, or upper pole, you will not be able to achieve this without a breast lift as your natural breast tissue will always sit on top of your implants. It is likely that any surgeon who has consulted with you is declining to perform a standalone breast augmentation as they do not believe the aesthetic changes are worth the risks involved with invasive surgery.

Answer: Because your actual breast will sag and hang off the bottom of the implanted part of your breast It's possible that this fact could give the appearance of 4 breasts. 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 and they 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. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breasts You have sagging and uneven breasts, and without a lift, will just have large sagging breasts. With implants and no lift, the increased weight from the implant will cause more sagging. Big breasts sitting on your lap are not pretty.

Answer: Results From your photos it appears you need a lift. Augmentation alone will likely leave you with a shape that you will find unacceptable. Augmentation adds volume to the breasts but it does not raise the position of the nipple.
