Natural looking breast - can I get a breast augmentation without lift? (Photos)

An implant will give you the breast you have now only larger. In your case I'd suggest a dual plane technique. You can do the implant first and see if you are happy with the results. If not you can always go back and do a lift.

Breast implants can give you upper pole fullness. If you go with a implant that is not to big, you can achieve natural looking breasts. Find a implant that compliments your body and you can have natural, fuller breasts.

Hello, thank you for your question. If you are looking for just bigger breasts but same positioning of your breast tissue then you can go above the muscle. Discuss your options with your plastic surgeon and be sure to bring in wish pics of someone with a similar frame and size. Feel free to check out website for some before and afters.

Dear Celebrated164317,
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.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to undergo breast augmentation without a breast lift, but the results will depend on your individual anatomy and desired outcome.

From the pictures you have provided, it appears that a breast augmentation alone may be able to achieve a natural-looking result by adding volume to the breasts. However, it's important to keep in mind that a breast augmentation will not correct any sagging or droopiness in the breasts, and will only increase their size. If you desire a lifted appearance, a breast lift may be necessary in addition to breast augmentation. It's also important to consider the long-term effects of breast augmentation alone. Over time, the weight of the implants can cause additional sagging and droopiness in the breasts. If you are concerned about this, a breast lift may be the best option to achieve long-lasting results.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo a breast lift in addition to breast augmentation will depend on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who can evaluate your anatomy and discuss your options for achieving your desired outcome.

It depends on what you consider to be a “natural looking breast”. Wish pics would help allow your surgeon to understand what your goals are. Generally speaking, a lift is recommended if the nipples are located at or below your breast fold, which is true in your case.

You can get a breast augmentation without a lift, but it won't look natural. It will look abnormal. Having a breast surgery expert perform what will really make your breasts look attractive, implants and a lift, you will love your breasts, even with the hard to see scars. If you think dark skin or African American heritage relegates you to thickened, hypertrophic, or keloid scarring, your are very wrong. Breast skin is very forgiving to incisions and typically heals very well.

Your breasts are low on the chest wall. Implants only add volume. 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 can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Based on your pictures, you will need a lift (it can be combined with a breast augmentation) in order to achieve good results. It can be a vertical or a Benelli lift.

Of course, an “in person” exam is necessary.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

With just implants, you will have larger and still sagging breasts. You would do well with a lift and augmentation.
