Your breasts are low on the chest wall and you have no upper pole fullness. The technique I recommend is 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 or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Dear Atgrace18,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
There are numerous options: Vertical lollipop lift or anchor shaped incision lift, Implants and a variation of a lift.

I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and be very realistic about your potential cosmetic result.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
Many of these metals are found in hair dyes and tattoos and other products that women often use. These metals cannot be completely blamed on just implants.
An exam is always best but based on the photos you'd have the best result from a lift with implants. The implants would give you the extra volume, including upper pole volume, that you want. The lift would raise the position of the nipple to improve shape. Larger implants won't raise the...
Most surgeons choose the implant brands they will use based on experience, availability, and costs. You can pick the surgeon.
